It was probably something like that, but I wouldn't be surprised if that required intervention from people from Paramount or a newsroom rebellion (Anyway, the fact that we are still debating him is another sign of Weiss' incompetence tm) .

If were up for Weiss he would still be there, right? It was either that he decided to leave, the network staffers that said that they wouldn't book him, the network lawyers (Or Ellison's kid) saying that he should go, but Bari wanted to keep the pedo guy there.

To be fair, unless the Mexican government is lying they were trying to arrest El Mencho, he counterattacked. And Claudia Sheinbaum and Omar Harfuch seems to acknowledge that the "good guys" are part of the problem - last week they arrested a mayor from their own party that was a cartel leader.

E óbvio, no Brasil existe um debate esquisito das tarifas criando empregos no comércio e no desembaraço de importações, o que é um argumento tão bizarro que não sei como isso seria debatido em termos de literatura.

Pode-se debater política industrial(Que precisa de demanda), mas o Brasil tem sucessivos superávits comerciais, mesmo com uma indústria eficiente haveria demanda para importados dentro da população. Ainda mais que poucos países efetivamente fabricam eletrônicos.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The AI doomer narrative (it’s going to wake up and kill us all) is, whether its adherents intend it or not, pure marketing for AI companies

It’s one reason their CEOs have even, on occasion, leaned into it

Part of the problem is that tariffs are pretty much at raising revenue and they impose costs that are higher than the money raised as taxes. This idea of "dividend" for a VAT would be more feasible.

The nice thing of the club model is that you can be a fan of the same team in different sports - Corinthians has a semiprofessional American Football team that's far from being competitive under American standards, but the combined energy of the games is awesome.

The last President of Peru to be impeached was impeached for less. Far less.

In Brazil the use of Twitter bots to push for hashtags among Bolsonaro supporters was so widespread that it lead to this meme(This is one of Bolsonaro's children).

I dislike a lot of gender studies literature and I really dislike the use of words like "oppressed" and "enpowernment", but that can be useful to analyse discrimination inside groups(Like LGBT among PoC). But I don't think that it makes sense to be used for people to refer to themselves.

I don't miss snow. 😅

I suppose this goes for a lot of companies, but it's depressing that they can staff a whole company with folks who are able to look themselves in the mirror each morning before heading to work at the Help Kids Cheat at School Corporation.

It ought to be noted that the Epstein scandal revealed not just a bunch of people wiling to rape children and suck up to people who did so, but also that a lot of elite people are just loathsome bigoted human beings.

I would argue that's true, but what makes it true makes it less relevant to online debates(Where every member of any group is far more educated and has a higher income than the average, regardless of being a member of a discriminated group).

That's a steal, someone needs to call the cops.

Não é problema só do Haddad. Esse lance de importações que é uma das coisas sustentando Milei na Argentina, associar a esquerda e o PT a restrições a importações seria um desastre.

Isso protege as margens do *comércio varejista*, por mais que alguns desses setores existe produção nacional.

A Motorola ainda monta smartphones em Jaguariúna, não?

I would argue that the problem in the current coffee growing regions in Brazil is more about water than heat(La Niña affects negatively production in Brazil, El Niño affects negatively in Colombia).

Hope that it doesn't affect the podcast. But he'll have to train the pronunciation of name of players("De Minaur" for instance), that could definitely be an issue while on air.

U.K. arrests ex-ambassador to the U.S. on suspicion of misconduct over Epstein ties Police have arrested Peter Mandelson, a veteran Labour Party politician who served as British ambassador to the U.S., as part of an investigation into his ties with Jeffrey Epstein.

<NORMAN ROCKWELL MEME>: The Dot-Com bubble was bad, people lost savings, it lead to inefficiencies and market distortions, it raised unemployment levels.

Yes. Anderson Cooper left the show because of this piece.

It's the piece that Bari Weiss tried to spike(They sit on the piece until the NFL season was over) and led to Anderson Cooper leaving the show.

Política industrial *sempre* precisa trabalhar com demanda também. Você pode usar o mercado interno para tentar financiar o mercado interno, mas você precisa trabalhar demanda. Política industrial sem trabalhar com a demanda sempre teve resultados desastrosos.

Não é sustentável politicamente também. O que está sustentando Milei no meio da austeridade é abertura a importações, num país em que protecionismo industrial sempre foi associado a esquerda. E mesmo com tarifas altas não seria competitivo construir(E não montar) celulares no Brasil.

Produtividade no Brasil é baixa em grande parte por causa de políticas ruins (Inclusive coisas como protecionismo, em que os liberaisbr são bem silenciosos) e porque as empresas são mal-administradas. Isso é gaslighting.

Agronegócio tem produtividade alta só comparando latifúndio, né? Né? É meio estranho esse ponto no debate.
