AUSTRALIA PASSES LEGISLATION, we're often not far behind.</p><p>Australia's Orwellianly titled <a href="https://hwlebsworth.com.au/mum-can-i-borrow-your-phone-proposed-social-media-ban-for-under-16s/" target="_blank">Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act</a> was passed last year. </p><p><a href="https://johnquigginblog.substack.com/p/australias-social-media-ban-for-under-eae" target="_blank">The Act's aim is to ban under 16-year olds from social media</a>.</p><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The social media ban was rushed through Parliament with no real inquiry into the nature of the problem it was supposed to solve or the likely effects of a ban. Evidence from mental health experts on the question of whether and how social media use is harmful is at best <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352250X21001500">inconclusive</a>, as far as I can determine.<br /> But the advocates of a ban haven’t worried too much about that. They’ve relied on casual correlation and on the testimony of instant experts, with no particular expertise in the mental health of young people. ... most notably Jean Twenge and Jonathan Haidt.</span></i></blockquote>Twenge peddles bullshit based on so-called "generational analysis"— on the assumption that being a "millennial"/"Gen Z"/"Gen Y"/"Gen Jones" is any more effective than astrology. (Indeed, as one <a href="https://insidestory.org.au/can-generational-analysis-be-saved/" target="_blank">review</a> of her latest book concludes, "for serious scholarly work, five-year birth cohorts, categorised by race, gender and class background, are much more useful. For entertainment purposes, astrology is just as good and less divisive.”)<div><br /></div><div>Jonathan Haidt is other alleged expert relied upon. Haidt was good on <a href="https://pc.blogspot.com/2019/08/children-like-many-other-complex.html" target="_blank">teenagers' need for more independence</a> — here he is not only bad at the data, but is arguing against his own earlier conclusion. In <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-coddling-of-the-american-parent/?ref=author" target="_blank">Mike Masnick's summary of the situation</a>:</div><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Six years ago, NYU social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt co-authored 'The Coddling of the American Mind. 'In the book, he and <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/author/greg-lukianoff/">Greg Lukianoff</a> argued that parents are doing a real disservice to their kids by overprotecting (coddling) them, rather than giving them more freedom and allowing them to make mistakes and learn.<br /> This year, he’s back with a new book, 'The Anxious Generation,' arguing the exact opposite in the digital world: that <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/social-media/">social media</a> and smartphones have made kids under-protected, rewiring brains and increasing teenage <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/depression/">depression</a> rates.<br /> Haidt tries to address this obvious contradiction in his book with the standard cop-out of the purveyor of every modern moral panic: “This time it’s different!” He provides little evidence to support that.</span></i></blockquote><div>"Unfortunately for those seeking an easy solution," <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2024/04/22/jonathan-haidts-book-the-anxious-generation-is-coddling-the-american-parent-giving-them-clear-simple-wrong-explanations-for-whats-ailing-teens/" target="_blank">says Masnick</a> "the data doesn’t support Haidt’s conclusions."</div><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">[A]s a quick summary: he’s wrong on the data, which undermines his entire argument. Almost every single expert in the field who does actual research on these issues says so. Candice Odgers ripped apart his misleading use of data <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00902-2">in Nature</a>. Andrew Przybylski, who has done multiple, detailed studies using massive amounts of data going back years, and keeps finding little to no evidence of the things Haidt claims, has talked about the problems in Haidt’s data. Ditto Jeff Hancock, at Stanford, who recently helped put together the National Academies of Sciences report on <a href="https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27396/social-media-and-adolescent-health">social media and adolescent health</a> (which also did not find what Haidt found).<br /> Indeed, one thing that came up in looking over the “strongest” research in the book was that (contrary to some of Haidt’s claims), data outside of the US on suicide rates seem to show they’re often (not always) <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/suicide-rates-among-young-people?country=USA~JPN~ZAF~FRA~IRL~DNK~NZL~ESP~AUS">going down</a>, not up. Even worse, the data on depression in the US showing an increase in depression rates among kids is almost certainly <a href="https://www.nber.org/papers/w31493">due to changes in screening practices</a> for depression and how suicide ideation is recorded.<br /> As my review notes, though, the problems with the data are only the very beginning of the problems with the book. Because, in the first part of the book, Haidt misleadingly throws around all the data, but in the latter part, he focuses on his policy recommendations.</span></i></blockquote><p>It's those very policy recommendations that Australia has just followed! </p><p>It's not just pseudo-psychology based on bad data: "even his former co-author, Greg Lukianoff, pointed out that Haidt’s proposals clearly <a href="https://greglukianoff.substack.com/p/my-first-amendment-concerns-with">violate [the US's] First Amendment</a>."</p><p>So fast and loose on both data and free speech!</p><div>CANDICE ODGERS IS ONE researcher whose data, she says, from "studies on the impact of phones and social media on children, including a 'study of studies,' conclude that social media is <i>good</i> for some kids, helping them find like-minded individuals. It’s mostly neutral for many kids, and problematic for only a very small group (studies suggest less than 10 percent)." In other words, as she <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00902-2">notes in her review of Haidt’s book</a> </div><div><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">the evidence suggests the causality is likely in the other direction.</span></i></blockquote></div><div>Ouch.</div><div><br /></div><div>A <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2024/10/11/jonathan-haidts-claims-on-kids-tech-crumble-under-scrutiny-from-top-expert-candice-odgers/" target="_blank">recent debate</a> pitted Odgers against Haidt, where — as he watched his argument crumble — he had to admit that she knows the data better than he.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="317" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ewxe4pWOH-I" width="381" youtube-src-id="Ewxe4pWOH-I"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>This matters, because this bullshit will be coming here soon. You can count on it.<br /><br />A judge in a Florida court this week summarises how absurd the bullshit is. Masnick <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2025/03/11/judge-uses-dds-failure-to-make-him-worship-satan-to-school-florida-on-social-media-moral-panics/" target="_blank">commentates</a> the brawl:</div><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The transcript reads like a master class in dismantling moral panic arguments. When Florida’s lawyers stood up in court to defend the law, they reached for what they clearly thought was their strongest argument: “Well, Your Honor, it is well known in this country that kids are addicted to these platforms.”<br /><br />But Judge Mark Walker, chief judge of the Northern District of Florida, wasn’t buying what Florida was selling. His response cut straight to the heart of why these kinds of claims deserve skepticism, and some of it was based on his own childhood experience on the other side of a moral panic:<br /></span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">MR. GOLEMBIEWSKI: Well, Your Honor, it is well known in this country that kids are addicted to these platforms. This is a mental health —<br /><br />THE COURT: It was well known when I was growing up that I was going to become a Satanist because I played Dungeons & Dragons. Is that — I don’t know what really that means. You can say that there’s studies, Judge, and you can’t ignore expert reports that say X.</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The D&D reference isn’t just an amusing comeback — it’s a federal judge explaining through personal experience why courts shouldn’t accept “everybody knows” arguments about harm to children. After all, lots of things have been “well known” to harm children over the years. It was “well known” that <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2014/06/20/that-time-when-people-thought-playing-chess-would-make-you-violent/">chess made kids violent</a>. Or that the <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2009/06/12/some-quotes-of-note-politicians-damning-new-technologies-cultural-artifacts/">waltz would be fatal</a> to young women, or that <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2014/10/08/moral-panics-1878-ny-times-warns-people-about-evils-thomas-edisons-aerophone/">the phone</a> would prevent young men from ever speaking to young women again. I could go on with more examples, because there are so many.<br /><br />When Florida’s lawyer tried to argue that social media was somehow different — that this time the moral panic was justified — Judge Walker was ready with historical receipts:<br /></span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">MR. GOLEMBIEWSKI: Kids weren’t reading comics — millions and millions of kids weren’t reading comics eight hours a day. Millions and millions of kids weren’t listening to rap music eight hours a day. There’s something different going on here, and there’s a consensus —<br /><br />THE COURT: The problem, Counsel, that’s a really bad example, the comics, because there is an entire exhibit in Glasgow where they barred comics in the entire country because somebody decided that comics were turning their youth against their parents and were causing them to engage and worship the supernatural and stuff.</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">So, I mean, I guess that was the point the plaintiffs were making is from the beginning of time, we’ve targeted things under some belief that it’s harming our youth, but doesn’t necessarily make it so.<br /><br />But, go ahead.<br /><br />That trailing “but, go ahead” is savage. I think I’d rather curl up in a ball and try to disappear in the middle of a courtroom than “go ahead” after that.</span></i></blockquote> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='facebook-share'> <a name='fb_share' rel='nofollow' share_url='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/lets-not-ban-social-media-for-sub-16.html' type='button'></a><script src='http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share' type='text/javascript'></script> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Peter Cresswell</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/lets-not-ban-social-media-for-sub-16.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/lets-not-ban-social-media-for-sub-16.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-03-14T08:47:00+13:00'>08:47:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/11906042/2001027045738079425' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/11906042/2001027045738079425' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='//img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1688440654'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=11906042&postID=2001027045738079425&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=2001027045738079425&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=2001027045738079425&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=2001027045738079425&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=2001027045738079425&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=2001027045738079425&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'><span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://pc.blogspot.com/search/label/Free%20Speech' rel='tag'>Free Speech</a>, <a href='http://pc.blogspot.com/search/label/Jonathan%20Haidt' rel='tag'>Jonathan Haidt</a>, <a href='http://pc.blogspot.com/search/label/Psychology' rel='tag'>Psychology</a>, <a href='http://pc.blogspot.com/search/label/Science' rel='tag'>Science</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'><span class='reaction-buttons'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Thursday, 13 March 2025</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='11906042' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='8778763283422451382' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='8778763283422451382'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/this-is-best-recession-ever.html'>"This is the best recession ever."</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-8778763283422451382' itemprop='articleBody'> <span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><blockquote><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>"T</b>his is the best recession ever.

[is] citing our own work, propos[ing] 20% as a 'benchmark' for the US optimal tariff. We think this is a very bad idea. ...<br /><br />"The 'optimal tariff argument' builds on the idea that countries have market power, and so can benefit from exercising it. ... <br /><br />"As a matter of academic debate, it is certainly interesting to understand why, in the absence of any international rules and institutions, a country may have incentives to exploit its market power by being protectionist. As a matter of actual policy, however, such considerations provide a misleading picture of what the overall impact of US tariffs would be. The reason is foreign retaliation.<br /><br />"The optimal tariff argument assumes that when foreigners face higher trade barriers in the United States, they sit idle, get poorer, and do not impose their own tariffs on US goods. This won't happen. ...<br /><br />"[T]he new Trump administration ... view[s] tariffs as a game of chicken. ... The game of chicken, however, is the wrong metaphor to think about trade wars.<br /><br />"Trade wars are best viewed as a prisoner's dilemma. Instead of staying silent, prisoners are always tempted to testify against their partner in crime in exchange for a more lenient sentence. By doing so, however, they all end up in prison for longer. Similarly, because each country has some market power to exploit, they have incentives to raise trade barriers, regardless of what the other countries do. The problem is that, when they all do so, none of them succeed in making their imports cheaper and they all end up being poorer. ...<br /><br />"The world trading system that emerged after World War II was designed precisely to keep countries' beggar-thy-neighbour impulses in check and avoid repeating the trade wars from the 1930s. It allowed countries to sustain trade cooperation for decades. ...<br /><br />"Pursuing a policy of raising tariffs would most likely lead to a new global trade war. Its consequences, unfortunately, are not hard to predict. It would mean less trade and, most importantly, less international cooperation on the big issues of the day: war, poverty, and climate change."</span></i><div><blockquote>~ Andrés Rodríguez-Clare and Arnaud Costinot from their post '<a href="https://ls.berkeley.edu/news/very-bad-idea-two-economists-respond-white-house-citing-them-20-tariffs" target="_blank">'A very bad idea': Two economists respond to White House citing them on 20% tariffs</a>'</blockquote></div></blockquote><div><blockquote></blockquote></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='facebook-share'> <a name='fb_share' rel='nofollow' share_url='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-trump-administration-citing-our-own.html' type='button'></a><script src='http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share' type='text/javascript'></script> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Peter Cresswell</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-trump-administration-citing-our-own.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-trump-administration-citing-our-own.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-03-12T09:47:00+13:00'>09:47:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/11906042/3393726264530730749' onclick=''> 1 comment: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/11906042/3393726264530730749' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='//img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1688440654'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=11906042&postID=3393726264530730749&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=3393726264530730749&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=3393726264530730749&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

His economic policies increase state control. His foreign policy rewards dictators. His governance breeds chaos. If America is to remain great, it must reject the strongman tactics Trump embraces.

Trump is not America’s saviour—he is its greatest betrayer."</span></i><br /><blockquote>~ Nicholas Provenzo from his post '<a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-158433282">My Hot Take on Trump’s Address to Congress</a>'</blockquote></blockquote><p>PS: Trump’s speech to Congress exposes "two foundational fallacies that surround his protectionism." Don Boudreaux <a href="https://cafehayek.com/2025/03/trumpian-tariff-fallacies.html" target="_blank">explains</a>:<br /></p><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">One fallacy is that tariffs are used against foreign countries. In fact, tariffs are used against the citizens of the government that imposes the tariffs. Canadian tariffs, for example, are taxes on Canadians’purchases of imports, and U.S. tariffs are taxes on Americans’purchases of imports. And so while foreign exporters do suffer when the U.S. government raises tariffs, the bulk of the suffering is by Americans – by American families who pay higher prices for food, clothing, and other household goods, and by American producers who pay higher prices for raw materials and intermediate products used in production here in the U.S.<br /> Moreover, these higher prices at home are by design: U.S. tariffs will not cause American manufacturing and agricultural outputs to rise unless these tariffs increase the prices that Americans pay for these outputs. When Trump and other protectionists deny that Americans will pay higher prices as a result of tariffs, they are either lying or displaying frightening economic ignorance.<br /> The second fallacy is the frequently heard excuse that Trump’s tariffs are bargaining chips to compel other governments to step up actions to stop the flow into America of illegal drugs. Yet last night, Trump himself identified other countries’ tariffs – which, again, ‘rip off,’ not Americans, but their own citizens – as the principal justification for his tariffs.<br /> In short, Trump insists that, because other countries use tariffs to rip off their citizens, he’s going to use tariffs no less harshly to rip off Americans.</span></i></blockquote><p></p><p>PPS: And a question for you is if you <i>are </i>an advocate for capitalism and also, somehow, still, an apologist for the toddler ...</p><blockquote></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p dir="ltr" lang="en" style="text-align: center;">Trump and Capitalism. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/economics?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#economics</a> <a href="https://t.co/2RsqkOFYgN">pic.twitter.com/2RsqkOFYgN</a></p><div style="text-align: center;">— Michael Liebowitz (@Lieboisout) <a href="https://twitter.com/Lieboisout/status/1897290173433450757?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 5, 2025</a></div></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='facebook-share'> <a name='fb_share' rel='nofollow' share_url='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-toddler-in-chief-speaks.html' type='button'></a><script src='http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share' type='text/javascript'></script> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Peter Cresswell</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-toddler-in-chief-speaks.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-toddler-in-chief-speaks.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-03-07T04:30:00+13:00'>04:30:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/11906042/2183991580233539083' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/11906042/2183991580233539083' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='//img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1688440654'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=11906042&postID=2183991580233539083&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=2183991580233539083&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=2183991580233539083&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

We are told there were no active conduct concerns – although there probably should have been, when deliberately misleading Parliament has happened time and again, and <a href="https://croakingcassandra.com/2025/02/27/why-is-such-rank-dishonesty-tolerated/">just recently</a> – and yet the Governor just disappeared with no notice on the eve of the big research conference, to mark 35 years of inflation targeting that he was talking up only a week or two ago, (I also know that one major media outlet had an in-depth interview with Orr scheduled for Friday – they’d asked for some suggestions for questions). And with not a word of explanation. </span></i><div><i><span style="font-size: large;"> "If you simply think your job is done and it is time to move on, the typical—and responsible – way is to give several months of notice, enabling a smooth search for a replacement. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: large;"> "He could easily have announced something next week, after the conference, and left after the next Monetary Policy Statement in May.<br /><br />"Instead, it is pretty clear that there has been some sort of 'throw your toys out of the cot and storm off' sort of event, which (further) diminishes his standing and that of the Bank (but particularly the Board and its chair). </span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: large;"> "It all must have happened so quickly that we now have this fiction that Orr is on leave for the rest of the month ... After several hours of uncertainty, the Board chair finally decided to hold a press conference, which he didn’t seem to handle particularly well and (I’m told—I only have a transcript—in the end he too stormed off) we still aren’t much the wiser. ...<br /><br />"I guess it is probably true that Orr can’t be forced to explain himself, although since he is still a public employee until 31 March I’m not sure why considerable pressure could not be applied. But even if he won’t talk the answers so far from either Willis or Quigley really aren’t adequate. You don’t just storm off from an $800000 a year job you’ve held for seven years, having made many evident policy mistakes and misjudgments, as well as operating with a style that lacked gravitas or decorum etc, with not a word. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: large;"> "Or: decent and honourable people, fit to hold high public office don’t. <br /><br />"... I had heard a story—apparently well-sourced—that the Bank had actually been bidding for a material increase in its funding, on top of the extraordinary increases of the last five years ... and Orr has long been known more for his empire-building capabilities than for his focus on lean and efficient use of public money, But ... [it] surely it can’t be the whole story.<br /><br />"Comments by Quigley suggests that perhaps Orr was getting to the end of his tether, and some one or more recent things made him snap, reacting perhaps more than a normal person would do faced with the ups and downs of public sector life. It seems highly likely the budget stuff, and the desire to keep pursuing whims, was part of it, but it can hardly have been all. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: large;"> "I don’t suppose he felt any great compunction about misleading Parliament so egregiously again…..but he should.

Three and a bit Dunedin hospitals or several frigates or…..all options lost to us from this recklessness, undertaken to no useful end, and a loss which Orr endlessly tried to play down (suggesting it was all to our benefit after all), and about which not one of his Monetary Policy Committee members—one now temporarily acting as Governor—either dissented or gave straight and honest contrite answers. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: large;"> "It has been 43 years since a Reserve Bank Governor was appointed from within.

Since his first term in office, the president has <a href="https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/supreme-court-grants-trump-broad-immunity-for-official-acts-placing-presidents-above-the-law">gained a considerable degree of legal impunity</a> from the Supreme Court, almost limitless political impunity from his supporters and the cowards in Congress who represent them, absolute administrative impunity from the slavish cronies with whom he’s staffed his government, and electoral impunity from the fact that, one way or another, he’ll never face voters again. ...<br /> And so, six weeks in, Trump’s second term as president already looks like the sum of all fears that [never-Trumpers] felt nine years ago. If there ever were such a thing as irrational 'Trump Derangement Syndrome,' it died in the Oval Office on Friday.</span></i></blockquote><div>You'll remember what happened then? You know, that the Western Alliance was split asunder on national television in a fit of <a href="https://x.com/RobGeorge/status/1896377302151303288">Ukraine-splaining</a>”?</div><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Shaking down Ukraine for mineral interests had a distinct Trump 1.0 feel, not unlike when he demanded that allies with U.S. troops stationed on their territory <a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/11/15/trump-asks-tokyo-quadruple-payments-us-troops-japan/">increase their payments to Washington</a>. Because he perceives no strategic American interest in allying with liberal nations, he needs to believe that it’s in our financial interest to justify continuing that alliance. He’s a famously transactional politician; if you want something from him, you need to hand him some sort of victory, ideally involving cash.<br /> But dressing down Zelensky publicly on Friday had more of a Trump 2.0 feel. It wasn’t about finances. If it had been, Trump wouldn’t have refused to proceed with the minerals deal after things went south in the Oval Office. It was about 'respect.' Zelensky didn’t show enough of it, supposedly, and that was reason enough for the president and vice president to burn down the transatlantic alliance that’s prevailed since World War II on live television.<br /> If I had told you in 2016 that America would switch sides in a major war involving Russia and part of the reason would be that the guy we’re allied with didn’t wear a suit to a meeting, you would have accused me of the most hysterical case of 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' you’d ever seen.

With such a people, you can do whatever you want."</span></i><br /><blockquote>~ attributed (<a href="https://hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/on-fake-hannah-arendt-quotations-2024-08-04">incorrectly</a>) to Hannah Arendt</blockquote></blockquote><p><u>NB:</u> The Hannah Arendt Centre <a href="https://hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/on-fake-hannah-arendt-quotations-2024-08-04" target="_blank">says</a> "the spirit of the quote is very much in line with Arendt’s own thought. But as far as I can tell, Hannah Arendt never said this or wrote this. She did, however, say many similar things. ..."<br /></p><blockquote>The closest in spirit and content, and also the most easily available, is from an interview with Roger Errera in 1974, what turned out to be Hannah Arendt’s last public interview. Arendt spoke about the importance of a free press in an era of mass manipulation of truth and public lying: She said:<span style="font-size: medium;"><i><blockquote>"The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie—a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days—but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please."</blockquote></i></span>The key point in Arendt’s statement is that as lies multiply, the result is not that the lie is believed but that people lose faith in the truth and are increasingly susceptible to believe anything. When cynicism about truth reigns, lies operate not because they replace reality but because they make reality wobble–a phrase Arendt employs in her essay Truth and Politics. In that essay, Arendt argued that mass lying undermines our sense of reality by which we find our bearings in the real world: <br /><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.</span></i></blockquote>The Arendtian point is that constant lying by a propaganda machine does not lead to the lie being believed but leads, instead, to cynicism.</blockquote><p>Which is all that the liars need. </p><p></p><blockquote></blockquote> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='facebook-share'> <a name='fb_share' rel='nofollow' share_url='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/this-constant-lying-is-not-aimed-at.html' type='button'></a><script src='http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share' type='text/javascript'></script> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Peter Cresswell</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/this-constant-lying-is-not-aimed-at.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/this-constant-lying-is-not-aimed-at.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-03-05T09:54:00+13:00'>09:54:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/11906042/9089063963680379421' onclick=''> 1 comment: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/11906042/9089063963680379421' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='//img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1688440654'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=11906042&postID=9089063963680379421&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=9089063963680379421&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=9089063963680379421&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Remember, Zelenskyy is a politician too. And for the better part of an hour he was asked to sit there as Trump painted a false moral equivalence between Russia and Ukraine and was dismissive of Ukraine’s plight and the history that led to this. If you actually want a deal, maybe don’t do that in public? I mean, the Ukrainians are watching too.<br /> "In response to Zelensky’s bait-taking, [commentator Rich] Lowry <a href="https://x.com/RichLowry/status/1895555747087564860">says</a> that Zelensky 'made an excellent point, but he wasn’t there to be right or to win an argument.' Fair enough. But <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/judge-trump-motives-not-just-222700040.html">this is yet another situation</a> where others are to blame for not fully adjusting to the fact that Trump is a thin-skinned, malicious toddler with poor impulse control. It’s always someone else’s fault for not enabling or humouring him sufficiently.<br /> "You know who knows Trump is easily baited into childish outbursts? J.D. Vance. And either out of cynicism or petulant incompetence, he acted on that. ...<br /><br />"This disaster never should have been possible in the first place. [For starters, this was supposed to be a photo op. Lots of arguments happen behind closed doors between world leaders. They were supposed to head into a meeting to hammer out the details on this mineral deal. Instead, Trump took 40 minutes of questions, some from MAGA loyal 'journalists' who asked him stuff like how he mustered so much 'moral courage' and what not. But then,] Trump’s position is that we should make a profit over Ukraine’s misfortune. That’s <a a="" american="" back="" big="" but="" country="" get="" going="" helping="" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c337461n3xlo#:~:text=%22We%20want%20to%20get%20that%20money%20back%2C%22%20he%20said.%20%22We" is="" money="" now="" plus.="" problem...="" re="" taxpayer="" the="" their="" through="" to="" very="">why he insists</a> America should get its money back 'plus.' As in we should get back the '350 billion' we gave to Ukraine (a <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crew8y7pwd5o">wildly inflated and inaccurate number</a>Trump cannot be talked out of using) plus a little extra for our troubles.<br /> "That’s grotesque.<br /> "Even as a rhetorical negotiating ploy, it’s grotesque. In his inaugural address, John F. Kennedy Jr. <a href="https://history.state.gov/milestones/1961-1968/foreword#:~:text=In%20his%20inaugural%20address%2C%20Kennedy,into%20the%20presidency%20determined%20to">said</a>, 'Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.' That might have been overly grandiose, but it was directionally right for the leader of the free world to draw those lines. Trump’s—and most emphatically Vance’s—position is 'We might help you out, we might not. It all depends on our cut'."</span></i><div><blockquote>~ Jonah Goldberg from his op-ed '<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/dishonor-incompetence-oval-office-232556069.html" target="_blank">Dishonor and Incompetence in the Oval Office</a>'</blockquote></div></blockquote><p>PS: From <a href="https://paulwells.substack.com/p/not-a-maga-guy" target="_blank">Paul Wells</a>: </p><p></p><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">"Donald Trump’s empty heart makes him crave a breathtaking amount of sucking up, all the time.<br /> "The big thing that everyone noticed when the sucking up became too insufficient, was that Trump and JD Vance jumped Volodomyr Zelensky in the Oval Office because, Vance said, Zelensky is ungrateful for American support.

Congestion is essentially a tax on time, productivity, and growth. And like most taxes, I’m keen to reduce it."</span></i></b></blockquote><u>Yes</u>, congestion stifles economic growth. Yet little has been to arrest it. And over the last dozen or so years councils and transport ministries and bureaucracies have done <u>everything</u> to promote it, with transit lanes, bottlenecks, speed humps, speed restrictions, cycle lanes, bus lanes, no-right-turns, no-left-turns, pedestrianisation, beautification ... <u>anything</u> but combat traffic congestion.<br /><br />Sit beside almost any major Auckland thoroughfare and you'll see that useable traffic lanes at rush-hours have nearly halved, while traffic has nearly doubled. A few nights back around 10pm a friend and I sat beside Hobson St — a near-motorway that once had six lanes or so allowing motorists to get out of the city on her motorways. Those lanes are now <u>halved</u> (with beautification works, don't you know, as part of John Key's bloody Convention Centre white elephant) and <u>even at 10pm motorists were in a jam.</u><br /><br />Will Bishop improve mobility? <br /><br />Will he hell: he intends instead to make mobility more expensive.<p><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></p><blockquote><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Bishop says: "</span><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The government will be progressing legislation this year to allow the introduction of Time of Use pricing on our roads."</span></i></b></blockquote><p></p>As commenter Bill <a href="https://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2025/03/big_plans_for_auckland.html#comment-3688830">says</a> on Farrar's thread: "OK so another tax. Is there no problem the government thinks can’t be fixed without more taxes?<br /><br />"We the motorists already pay for the roads with petrol tax and registration fees. How much of this money has been spent creating traffic bottlenecks, humps, removing free left turns etc? How is any of that helping with congestion? This latest tax proposal should be vehemently opposed. The money squandered on all the traffic obstruction should instead be spent on facilitating the uninterrupted flow of traffic. It sounds like they want to tax motorists to fix a problem that they themselves created.

And if not her, then as soon as things are "bedded down," your next finance minister will have his or her hand in your pocket to root around in your small change.

Sure, make something more expensive and (depending on one's marginal utility) then less of that thing will get utilised. But if the marginal utility of getting around is high enough (and it probably is) then Bishop's new tax will just make getting around more expensive. And we'll still be congested.

(Productive? That's an odd one to claim.) But with developers and builders having to sit on their hands while Bishop's bureaucrats rewrite the RMA to say what councils will allow developers and builders to do — to relieve the uncertainty since Bishop and his boss canned the MDRS — it seems like we're as far away as ever. And that uncertainty is hardly making developers and builders <u>more</u> productive ...<blockquote><b>Bishop says: <i><span style="font-size: medium;">"My aspiration [for Auckland] is ..."</span></i></b></blockquote><p>You know, frankly, it doesn't matter a shit what Bishop's aspirations for Auckland are! Because given the piss-poor popularity of his boss, and the pathetically slow promise to abolish and replace the RMA (to protect property rights, we're promised, and to finally give some certainty to those developers and builders) then it will be too damn late this term for any changes at all to be made, and next term he'll have lost his chance.</p><p>And this time, three years from now, we'll all be sitting here in exactly the same position.</p><p>Only by then we'll (maybe) have a new train set.</p><p><u>And</u> we will have bloody Bishop's new tax.</p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='facebook-share'> <a name='fb_share' rel='nofollow' share_url='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/another-national-tax-grab.html' type='button'></a><script src='http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share' type='text/javascript'></script> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Peter Cresswell</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/another-national-tax-grab.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/03/another-national-tax-grab.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-03-03T17:10:00+13:00'>17:10:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/11906042/3801694406772749619' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/11906042/3801694406772749619' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='//img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1688440654'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=11906042&postID=3801694406772749619&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=3801694406772749619&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=3801694406772749619&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Indeed, his worldview seems to rest on two assumptions that run directly counter to the way in which, for all the serious differences between them, every president since 1945 has thought about America’s role in the world.<br /> <br />"The first is that Trump has a fundamentally zero-sum view of the world. America’s relationship with allies like Japan or the United Kingdom has been based on the assumption that both sides would benefit from the partnership. In particular, America would provide its allies with a security guarantee; in return, it would enjoy international stability, reap the benefits of free trade, and have huge sway over the rules governing the world order. Even if the United States might be a net contributor in the short run, expending more for its military budget than its partners, these alliances would over the long run serve the country’s 'enlightened self-interest.'<br /><br />"Trump, by contrast, seems to believe that every deal has a winner and a loser; since American allies in Europe or East Asia are not unhappy about the current arrangements, this must mean that it is his nation that’s the sucker. ...<br /><br />"The second assumption shaping Trump’s foreign policy is his belief that spheres of influence are the natural, and perhaps even the morally appropriate, way to organise international relations. ... [and] that maintaining an alliance structure that ignores spheres of influence is naive, needlessly costly, and fundamentally sentimental. ...<br /><br />"Panama and Greenland are in America’s sphere of influence, and so Trump believes that he is entitled to make outrageous demands on them. Conversely, he seems to regard Ukraine as falling into Russia’s natural sphere of influence ...<br /><br />"If Trump gets his way, the world will become much more transactional. America’s erstwhile allies in the western hemisphere will either need to learn to stand on their own feet or to pay financial tribute to their protector. Those which happen to be located in the vicinity of the world’s most powerful authoritarian countries will need to accommodate themselves to the diktat of Beijing or Moscow ..."</i></span></blockquote><p></p><blockquote><blockquote>~ Yascha Mounk from his post '<a href="https://yaschamounk.substack.com/p/help-me-understand-the-new-world" target="_blank">Help Me Understand...

It is worth contemplating for a moment a very simple and commonplace instance of the action of the price system to see what precisely it accomplishes ...<br />"Assume that somewhere in the world a new opportunity for the use of some raw material, say, tin, has arisen, or that one of the sources of supply of tin has been eliminated. </span></i><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> "It does not matter for our purpose—and it is very significant that it does not matter—which of these two causes has made tin more scarce. All that the users of tin need to know is that some of the tin they used to consume is now more profitably employed elsewhere and that, in consequence, they must economise tin. There is no need for the great majority of them even to know where the more urgent need has arisen, or in favour of what other needs they ought to husband the supply. If only some of them know directly of the new demand, and switch resources over to it, and if the people who are aware of the new gap thus created in turn fill it from still other sources, the effect will rapidly spread throughout the whole economic system and influence not only all the uses of tin but also those of its substitutes and the substitutes of these substitutes, the supply of all the things made of tin, and their substitutes, and so on; and all his without the great majority of those instrumental in bringing about these substitutions knowing anything at all about the original cause of these changes. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> "The whole acts as one market, not because any of its members survey the whole field, but because their limited individual fields of vision sufficiently overlap so that through many intermediaries the relevant information is communicated to all. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> "The mere fact that there is one price for any commodity—or rather that local prices are connected in a manner determined by the cost of transport, etc.—brings about the solution which (it is just conceptually possible) might have been arrived at by one single mind possessing all the information which is in fact dispersed among all the people involved in the process. ...<br /><br />"The marvel is that in a case like that of a scarcity of one raw material, without an order being issued, without more than perhaps a handful of people knowing the cause, tens of thousands of people whose identity could not be ascertained by months of investigation, are made to use the material or its products more sparingly; i.e., they move in the right direction. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> "This is enough of a marvel even if, in a constantly changing world, not all will hit it off so perfectly that their profit rates will always be maintained at the same constant or 'normal' level....<br /><br />"I have deliberately used the word 'marvel' to shock the reader out of the complacency with which we often take the working of this mechanism for granted. I am convinced that if it were the result of deliberate human design, and if the people guided by the price changes understood that their decisions have significance far beyond their immediate aim, this mechanism would have been acclaimed as one of the greatest triumphs of the human mind. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> "Its misfortune is the double one that it is not the product of human design and that the people guided by it usually do not know why they are made to do what they do. But those who clamour for 'conscious direction'—and who cannot believe that anything which has evolved without design (and even without our understanding it) should solve problems which we should not be able to solve consciously—should remember this: The problem is precisely how to extend the span of our utilisation of resources beyond the span of the control of any one mind; and therefore, how to dispense with the need of conscious control, and how to provide inducements which will make the individuals do the desirable things without anyone having to tell them what to do."</span></i><br /><blockquote>~ FA Hayek from his famous 1945 article '<a href="https://www.econlib.org/library/Essays/hykKnw.html">On the Use of Knowledge in Society</a>.'

Anything and everything can be solved by tariffs. Prices too low? Tariffs will raise ‘em. Prices too high? Tariffs will lower ‘em. Sprained knee? Just take two tariffs and call me in the morning. ...<br /><br />"Take, for example, the argument that tariffs can be used as negotiation tools. The argument goes that you can threaten another nation with tariffs, impose the costs of the tariffs on them, and force them to bend to your will (whatever that will may be). ...<br /><br />"[Yet] politicians face a different set of incentives. The major issue with many tariff supporters’ models is that they improperly model these incentives. This is a side effect of collectivist thinking; we must always remember that a 'nation' is a useful abstraction, but ultimately is made up of <b>individuals</b> who choose. A 'nation' never, <b>ever</b> chooses. And a government is not synonymous with the nation or the people located therein. ...<br /><br />"Consequently, there is no incentive for the politicians to change their behaviour. It is for this reason we see tariffs consistently fail as a negotiation tool.<br /><br />"Indeed, so-called trade sanctions and tariffs end up having the opposite effect. The American embargo of Cuba entrenched the Castro regime. Tariffs and embargoes on Iran failed to halt their nuclear program or weaken the regime. Putin still wages war in Ukraine despite (or because of?) trade sanctions. Perhaps most damningly, the Chinese government developed DeepSeek as a direct response to Trump’s original 'economic statecraft' against the Communist Party (continued by Biden). <br /><br />"<a href="https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/bios/Smith.html">Adam Smith</a> recognised this problem. In the '<a href="https://www.adamsmithworks.org/documents/book-iv-chapter-2" target="_blank">Wealth of Nations'</a> ... he notes that tariffs could be a potential tool to negotiate lower barriers in other nations. ... Such negotiations <b>could</b> work, he states, but could also lead to war ...."</span></i><div><blockquote>~ Jon Murphy from his post '<a href="https://www.econlib.org/the-political-problem-of-tariffs/" target="_blank">The Political Problem of Tariffs</a>'</blockquote></div></blockquote><div><blockquote></blockquote></div><div><br /></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='facebook-share'> <a name='fb_share' rel='nofollow' share_url='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/02/consequently-there-is-no-incentive-for.html' type='button'></a><script src='http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share' type='text/javascript'></script> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Peter Cresswell</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/02/consequently-there-is-no-incentive-for.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://pc.blogspot.com/2025/02/consequently-there-is-no-incentive-for.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-02-28T09:07:00+13:00'>09:07:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/11906042/8964637472054083055' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/11906042/8964637472054083055' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='//img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1688440654'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=11906042&postID=8964637472054083055&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=8964637472054083055&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=11906042&postID=8964637472054083055&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
