The author said a more reasonable comparison would be mentioning Stalin in the Soviet Union in 1954, arguing that the issue was a party-state whitewashing its past. https://t.co/uTLHDZ58Xb #historia #politica #memoriahistórica #RU #BY

I suggest simply enforcing penalties for gross negligence due to damages caused by your half-baked products. That would generate a pause without any new regulations or cartel-like agreements. #Negligence #ProductSafety #ConsumerProtection #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

We used to joke that mathematicians are very cheap, just paper and pencils, not much more needed. Universities should start preparing for whipping up huge computing budgets to compete for the best of them #MathHumor #HigherEducation #ComputingBudget #Nospecificcountrycodesmentioned.

In light of today's conversation here, let me provide some empirical evidence about potential forthcoming economic stimulus https://t.co/pzaELuK2gp #EconomicStimulus #DataDriven #PolicyDiscussions #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromtheprovidedtweet.

Shouldn't liability risk be the main solution to AI risks? If I put a car on the road that I randomly cannot steer, I'd be liable for the consequences. It should be the same with software that can randomly break into things #AIRisk #Liability #Accountability #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet #sonocountrycodescanbereturned.

I'm a tariff hater and I am here. TARIFFS NOT ONLY IMPOSE IMMENSE ECONOMIC COSTS BUT ALSO FAIL TO ACHIEVE THEIR PRIMARY POLICY AIMS AND FOSTER POLITICAL DYSFUNCTION ALONG THE WAY #TariffHater #EconomicImpact #PoliticalDysfunction #N/A

Yep, people won, it made lives of tens of millions of people better, and I'm still mad about not having lived my childhood in a normal country. Museums that cover this history are useful to counter the ignorance about how it all looked and worked #HistoryMatters #CulturalAwareness #ChildhoodMemories #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountrynames.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

They are a policy tool and this policy tool was extensively used by fascist and communist governments. But they are not like taxation because they are not necessary to raise revenue, they are a choice pursued by those who don't like market outcomes, often with disastrous effects #PolicyTool #Fascism #Communism #Nospecificcountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.

Tax incidence: all taxes are ultimately paid by people. Carbon emissions: all emissions are ultimately due to consumers (people and perhaps governments, but that's also people). #TaxIncidence #CarbonEmissions #ConsumerResponsibility #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweet.

I couldn't put it better why the choice between western Europe and Russia for people in my part of the world has always been so unambiguously clear #WesternEurope #Russia #Choices #EU #RU

This "conventional wisdom" has always been wrong because how else are you going to explain how Europe (including later its poorer parts like Greece, Portugal or Spain) was growing for long stretches post WW2? Decent institutions and open economy can get you very far https://t.co/9K8XFjpVTq #Economy #Europe #PostWW2
