From NYT “Texas still has problems, but there’s a lot to learn from how the state makes it easier to build clean energy,” said Devin Hartman, director of energy and environmental policy at the R Street Institute.

All of the social media platforms are information minefields, rife with deceptive content from state actors, corporations, paid influencers and others. Their algorithms fuel our worst impulses by highlighting content that promotes anger and outrage. They strip mine our data to make money. Forcing TikTok to merge with another data-hungry social media platform won’t solve any of that. What will make a difference is establishing base-line privacy rules that prohibit companies from exploiting our data and that give us control over the algorithms used to manipulate us.

Interesting thought from @Lyn Alden today: In other words, the Fed’s control loop is less effective in high public debt environments than it is in low public debt environments, and beyond a certain point can even be counter-effective. This is because their tools don’t address the fiscal side, and in some cases they can even contribute to a federal debt interest spiral, where more debt needs to be issued to fund larger interest expense, which in turn further increases the interest expense and requires more debt issuance. All the meanwhile, the entities on the receiving side of that interest are able to spend much of that interest income into the economy, which depending on their propensity to spend is somewhat stimulating and inflationary for the economy.
