@jburnmurdoch Yes it was. It is the whole point of the system, but it is rubbish at it
Contabilidad final de la masacre de Bucha: 458 cadáveres, de los que 419 torturados.
Pero la indignación en España es por la espada de Bolívar.
Desesperante.

Good decision. More please.
RT @andersostlund: Co-founder of @amnesty's Swedish chapter, @AmnestySweden, Pär Wästberg leaves the organization because of disagreement with Amnesty International's report on Ukraine. Correct decision.

RT @WaysMeansCmte: 🚨 🚨 🚨 BREAKING: The DC Court of Appeals has just ruled that the law is on our side in seeking Trump's tax returns. We expect to receive the requested tax returns and audit files immediately.

RT @gk_ben: Highly recommend reading this short @nealemahoney JEP article @AEAjournals. Very practically useful - especially for those working on JMPs 😅 1/3
RT @ChrisGiles_: Ben is doing everyone a huge service here - public service from a high class academic
1) explaining good economics
2) collating numerous examples in real time
(as well as, of course, writing academic papers)
👏👏👏
RT @robinsonmeyer: Since 2009, Israel has indicted its sitting prime minster, France has prosecuted and convicted two former presidents, and South Korea has prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned two of its former presidents. All were on corruption charges. It’s not unheard of among democracies.
RT @jayvanbavel: People with the strongest opposition to scientific consensus have the lowest levels of objective knowledge--yet they also have the most confidence.
The people who speak with the most certainly against scientists are the least trustworthy and self-aware :( https://t.co/zifYDuieGk
For those who say "all the money we transfer to Putin is irrelevant, he cannot spend it", here is a simple example of the general principle that more money is better - it can be used to buy foreign governments.
RT @tashecon: Erdogan thinks money from Moscow will help stabilise the lira, hold down inflation + turn opinion polls to allow him to win the next election. Not sure the election is worth winning if it won on the back of Puti…
Visiting today again @UChicago made me realize what an amazing job the brave and recently deceased Hugo Sonnenschein and Bob Zimmer did in expanding and modernizing the University while maintaining the rigor and culture of excellence and freedom so unique to @UChicago.
Barber mentions two analysis that show that our economic efforts are hurting Russia's economy where we want to:
- This excellent post by the always thoughtful @JosepBorrellF https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/sanctions-against-russia-are-working_en
- The Yale analysis https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4167193
The West needs to stand firm.
In @ft email today, @TonyBarber8, lists those ready to throw Ukraine under the bus. Many usual suspects (Corbyn, Gerhard Schröder, Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Giuseppe Conte). One really worrying one:Jens Plötner, foreign policy advisor of Scholtz.
Let's stand firmly against them.
Au nom d'un anti-américanisme honteux, toujours prêt à trahir ceux qui se battent pour leur démocratie et leur liberté. Toujours avec l'agresseur, jamais avec la victime. Dans le pays qui nous a donné Vichy, Melanchon sera, toujours un collaborateur dans l'âme.

RT @ben_moll: An important clarification because people often ask: doesn't substitution via imports destroy some production in importing country (🇩🇪)?
Answer: of course it does. But it kills the notorious "cascading effects" = one of main arguments of industry lobby.

El veredicto de @KuperSimon tras vivir un año en España: el país más vivible del mundo, con excelentes infraestructuras y calidad de vida, pero también el país más castigado por el cambio climático, que vacía el interior.

RT @Liz_Cheney: “In our nation’s 246 year history there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our Republic than Donald Trump.” Dick Cheney
RT @PhillipsPOBrien: Why this report really gets it wrong is that Amnesty is basically criticising Ukraine for fighting to try and win the war. The Ukrainian strategy of fighting for their cities has been crucial to their successes so far.
Precioso mapa con los países en tamaño real. Aunque lo sepamos racionalmente, Rusia, Groenlandia y Canadá junto con los tres nórdicos siguen sorprendiendo por su tamaño.

@Fervabi Yo era miembro de Amnistía cuando al Sudáfrica del aperheid. Hacíamos campañas por los presos. Eso es lo que debe diferenciar a Amnistía. Desgraciadamente, no es así.
