FFS. Adopt policies that make running unis well an impossible task, then moan that they have to pay >Β£300k for mediocre VCs, grumble that this is corrosive, and think they can β€œbalance books” by cutting senior pay a bit, and raising β€œproductivity” πŸ€” No wonder ppl like me have headed for the door.

…and therefore very difficult to see how even a 50% actual tariff on (say) south East Asian garments will swing the balance in favour of relocating production to high labour cost USA (especially in the context of a very tough anti-immigration regime)

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Presumably Trump’s β€œreciprocal” tariffs also correlate closely and inversely with international manufacturing unit labour costs at whatever the $ exchange rate was yesterday (unless you’re making semiconductors in which case even he is smart enough to spot global market power when he sees it) πŸ€”

What is behind the dramatic shift in markets The sudden change in investors’ growth expectations for the three largest economies is upending many consensus trades

Excellent summary. TL:DR there’s a nutter in the White House who hasn’t a clue about economics so we don’t know where it will all end up.

Thanks to Ted Nevin (birth centenary this month) and his associates (some of whom taught me) we know a lot more about the historical development and current state of the Welsh economy. Despite this, and because of lousy policymakers, this history does not read wellβ€¦πŸ€”

On Cardiff University closure of nursing (which is funded on contract rather than student fees) it smells of a β€œstrategy” to transfer provision, since inconceivable Wales would reduce new nurses by 300+ pa.

Cardiff: University confirms plans to cut 400 jobs Vice-chancellor Wendy Larner says

Thoughts going out to (former) colleagues at Cardiff University. This looks panicky and appears both unnecessary and unlikely to restore sustainability as the uni will surely now be less attractive to students and talented researchers www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

But needs to be a lot less bonkers if people in (rural) Wales are to leave their (mainly) fossil fuel cars at home and use the (checks notes…) currently diesel powered trains. I fully accept that this is not easy.
