I am sadly not surprised. We academics collectively are a lot of things, "brave" isn't one of them. Individuals are brave & defy injustice. Collectively, we cave.

When Mussolini asked all 1225 Academic professors in Italy to bend the knee or be fired, *12* refused.

Vergesst nie, dass viele Leute ihn wählen weil er so ist. In einer Demokratie gehört diesen Wählern meine gesamte Verachtung.

Devastating news that @iza.org is effectively closing down 😔

It was (or at the moment, is) a wonderful institute and the network was tremendously helpful in dissaminating work in labour economics.

IZA will sorely be missed 😢

So sorry for all IZA employees!
