The fundamental issue is deadweight loss, not tax incidence.

Among the ironies is that higher education has been one of our most competitive export industries

Professor, this sort of rhetoric could be used to speak against any tax at all. Any chance you could weave the actual problem--pointlessly high deadweight loss--into the discussion?

This sucks. Hope you're back online soon--I loved watching those videos (even the ones for the games I don't own).

This is extremely embarrassing for UATX. I had cautious but high hopes--I guess the "cautious" was more on point than the "high".

"About two weeks" is Trump speak for "probably never".

Different, in that Spurs would have ruined him by now instead

Yes! And it would be great if everyone remembered the effects of tariffs, even after this particular political situation passes!

This reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld where George climbs to the uppermost heights of the Yankees organization and dates a model by doing the opposite of whatever his instincts are.

Perhaps the worst thing about the internet--and that's saying something--is the bitterness it seems to engender among people who broadly agree with one another

Why just capital? Full on price controls seem likely.

My view, which I understand may not be yours, is that the justification offered here for bullying even adults is too flimsy per se for me to accept. This feels rather too much like an instance of "the abyss staring back".
comment in response to
post
I hope you'll consider forgiving me for being somewhat sensitive to this issue--maybe I'm letting my personal history with bullying color my view unwarrentedly.

Unless I misunderstood the skeet in question, the call was not to justify bullying of any of those groups as such, but rather readers of Harry Potter. That group would seem to include many children.
comment in response to
post
This seems like an ungenerous characterization of my point, which is that not every bad thing necessarily justifies bullying, which I typically consider to be another bad thing.

That's not how I wanted this to go, but ok

You lost me at "I think it's fine to bully people"

Pretty clear evidence from China that it works at least in the direction of responding by having fewer children

My sad theory is that they don't want to develop too negative of a quotable record on tariffs, for the next time they're in power
