Is NYC's congestion fee a regressive tax? No. Driving into Manhattan is expensive even w/o the fee, so very few low-wage workers do it. Plus the money will be used to improve the transit systems they *do* use paulkrugman.substack.com/p/lessons-fr...

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

America's four largest potato producers allegedly conspired to raise prices on frozen fries, hash browns, and tater tots by 47%. This tater trust controls more than 95% of the potato market. If we want to bring down grocery prices, we must take on corporate consolidation.
