$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.

Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

I think overconfidence in a technological, free-market and autopilot energy transition also inspires a follow-on dismissiveness around governments approving, supporting or encouraging fossil fuel infrastructure (on the grounds that it won't compete with cheap renewables and therefore isn't a worry)

Remigration = ethnic cleansing

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.
