The transformation of Ukraine’s heartland into patches of wasteland riddled with danger is a long-term calamity on a scale that ordnance experts say has rarely been seen, and that could take hundreds of years and billions of dollars to undo. My latest here:

And today in journalism I wrote that a crowd was “palatably excited” instead of “palpably excited.” In case you are like me and confuse the two, “palatable” means tasty 🙃 to be fair, I was quite hungry when I was writing.

Billionaires worldwide have effective personal tax rates of between 0% and 0.5% — well below those of ordinary taxpayers. Taxing 2,700 billionaires 2% of their wealth annually could raise $250 billion per year. I covered @taxobservatory ’s latest report here:
