My take: business interests do not in the main care about Pride or DEI. They care about PR.
Do you have a link to the Canadian polls? I'm looking on my own but I'm an analyst by both trade and inclination and I'd like to see that data.
I've been saying for years that the only difference between the GOP and the DNC is the timeline.
This is starting to feel more and more like a planned property grab.
I knew he had said problematic shit, but this is disturbing.
Among many other domestic terror groups who should be scaring the shit out of us as a nation.
We really need to avoid this thinking--again, one of Hayak's concern about this particular prize--that any of it comes down to "one person" or one set of research.
Ah, gotcha. We're talking at cross-purposes a bit I think.
Thank you for being civil through this; I genuinely appreciate that and it's nice to meet someone else who cares about these issues.
If you'll recall I did mention that postcolonial economists have been discussing this issue.
As a quick semi-aside: 20 years isn't that long in academic research, and it's especially not that long when we're talking about colonialism/post-colonialism. It's a tremendous amount of time in the hard sciences I'm told but it's a mistake to apply that lens here.
My dude, generations historians, economists, and social critics from India and across sub-Saharan Africa have discussed these issues at length. There are libraries full of diverse works on the subject. The erasure of all that is on-brand for the Nobel Prize in Economics (which even Hayek said shouldn't exist in his own acceptance speech) and frankly on-brand for the Western academy as a whole.
I think the important bit is getting lost in the shuffle over particulars: This research and the conclusion it presents are not original to three Western men from a first-world university. They've been discussed and explored at length by the academies of the post-colonial states who are dealing with the aftereffects of their own colonial experiences. This is a Eurocentric/Western-centric move on the part of, frankly, a bunch of privileged and insulated people.
I think you've hit it on the head, in that it will be a question of how openly the next administration enables the horrors perpetuated by the Israeli government. What a time to be alive!
That is not true for the Nobel Prize in Economics, which is not one of the five official Nobel Prizes.
The Swedish government and the Swedish academy are notoriously myopic/tone deaf when it comes to these issues.
Sorry about that, I mistook you for someone else. The Royal Academy of Sciences doesn't administer the Nobel Prize for Economics, which isn't one of the five official Nobel Prizes and thus overseen by a complex mix of the Swedish government--including the Academy of Sciences--and the Sveringes Riksbank.
Oh boy, ethnic prejudice: my own academic researched focused on borders and migration in colonial and post-colonial states and I taught US and World History on both the high school and college level. Race, racism, the Atlantic Slave Trade, and colonialism/post-colonialism pervade all of those subjects and were constants throughout my curriculum.
This could be the hack that ends all hacks--if it actually happened. Does anyone know more?

It's difficult to substantiate claims like this, but even the possibility is important to discuss. If anyone knows more please share that info if possible!

apnews.com Car dealerships in North America revert to pens and paper after cyberattacks on software provider
Car dealerships across North America are still wrestling with disruptions that started last week. CDK Global, a company that provides software for thousands of auto dealers in the U.S. and Canada, was hit by back-to-back cyberattacks on Wednesday.

Car dealerships in North America continue to wrestle with major disruptions that started last week with cyberattacks on a software company used widely in the auto retail sales sector.
CDK Global, a company that provides software for thousands of auto dealers in the U.S. and Canada, was hit by back-to-back cyberattacks Wednesday. That led to an outage that has continued to impact operations.
For prospective car buyers, that may mean delays at dealerships or vehicle orders written up by hand, with no immediate end in sight.
On Monday, Group 1 Automotive Inc., a $4 billion automotive retailers, said that it continued to use “alternative processes” to sell cars to its customers.

I welcome thoughts and comments of good will from people of good will. As this is a more-than-informed crowd, I figured I'd share it here and let y'all shred it first.
Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined
variety.com Five Men Convicted of Operating Illegal Streaming Service Jetflicks
Five men were convicted for their part in operating Jetflicks, one of the largest illegal streaming services in the U.S., officials said.
This is the energy we need going forward into the second half of the year.
" Five men were convicted by a federal jury in Las Vegas this week for their part in operating Jetflicks, which officials say was one of the largest illegal streaming services in the U.S.
Jetflicks, which charged $9.99 per month for the streaming service, generated millions of dollars in subscription revenue and caused “substantial harm to television program copyright owners,” the Justice Department said Thursday."
The Delusion of Advanced Plastics Recycling
www.propublica.org The Delusion of “Advanced” Plastic Recycling
The plastics industry has heralded a type of chemical recycling it claims could replace new shopping bags and candy wrappers with old ones — but not much is being recycled at all, and this method won’t curb the crisis.
Turns out even the most "advanced" modes of plastics recycling are bullshit, just as 40+years of plastics recycling efforts before them.

Atlanta remains under a state of emergency Monday as it battles disruptions to its water service that first began last week, leaving a swath of a major city under boil water advisories and highlighting the pervasiveness of problems caused by America’s aging infrastructure.
Y'all might wanna start paying attention to our water systems and how incredibly vulnerable they are. Plan accordingly, as it ain't getting fixed soon!
