The Economist now estimates that the Russians have potentially lost up to 2.1 million soldiers during Putin's special military operation in Ukraine.
Purple is estimated killed range
Blue is total casualties range

Eh, much as I'd like to read yet more tripe about how *Democrats* are the ones with terrible economic policies, I just can't go on past "Nobel-Winning Economist." There isn't a Nobel Prize for Economics, there's only "The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel." 🙃

Omg. The Economist weighs in, again.
Sometimes you dodge many bullets only to run into other bullets. AES is an extremely talented politician. His defense of religious freedom in the “Tommy” confrontation was fantastic. His danger zone is a reluctance to show grace to opponents.

That’s because every economist is God’s special good boy.
We really need some good reporting on why economists are especially susceptible to the AI-LLM industry's propaganda
Mark Carney says he doesn’t use generative AI as much as he’d like, but that he’s brought in a Google executive to “transform government” and enable more AI use.
Basically, the answer of someone completely bought in on the fantasy of AI who refuses to recognize that isn’t reflected in reality.

same guy btw. dude was such an obnoxious editor he drove out the NYT's in-house Nobel Prize-winning trade economist 5 minutes before Trump started the biggest trade war since 1930 bsky.app/profile/ryan...
also hilarious that his unedited solo blog posts are straight up better prose without some schmuck NYT editor making them more pretentious and turgid
It is very funny that NYT let noted trade columnist Paul Krugman walk like six months ago or whatever because he wanted to produce too much trade content for their taste

OMG it felt so good to hear an expert economist say this.
“I've never really worried too much about the headroom. It is an imaginary thing. The only reason it's become important is because Rachel Reeves made such a fuss of it. We don't even know what crises are in the future. Most will likely require hugely more than the headroom. So, frankly, who cares?”

On the scale of this Economist editor's take to "Conan! What is best in life?," the average Democratic voter is well beyond the latter
