Sinds Draghi wordt de regeldruk in Europa gezien als hét probleem van dit moment.

Vandaag staan @rodeeconoom.bsky.social en ik in het @fd.nl. Wij plaatsen kanttekeningen bij dit verhaal. Want in Europa liggen de winsten hoger, is de regeldruk lager en zijn uitkomsten beter dan in de VS.

Handy little thread re: all the inevitable "we've heard a lot of critique, what about the benefits?!"-comments at the @algosoc.org conference. 👇
marijnsax.bsky.social
Students, colleagues, and professionals regularly comment that "it's so easy to just be critical. Why won't you also focus on positive aspects of [phenomenon] and propose solutions?"

These comments melt my brain. Seeing 'being critical' as an easy, cheap way to get some shots in is plain stupid.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher says she regrets her years-old tweets calling Trump a fascist and a deranged racist: "I regret those tweets, I wouldn't tweet them against today. They represented a time when I was reflecting on something that the president had said rather than who he is."

These "federal agents" abducted a student at Tufts University in Somerville Massachusetts, covering their faces with black cloth.

What are the mayor, governor, other politicians, Tufts leadership, doing?
