This article does not “utterly destroy” @ZephyrTeachout’s article. @ATabarrok doesn’t know what the controlling law is. FTC v. Morton Salt, 334 U.S. 37 (1948) states that volume discounting *can* violate the law if not cost justified or reasonably obtainable by all purchasers.

Trump is going to the Federal Reserve tomorrow, according to his schedule. Only three presidents have visited the Fed. FDR when its HQ building opened in 1938, Ford when a buddy of his became a governor, and George W. Bush for the swearing in of Ben Bernanke.
Columbia pays $221 million to avoid losing $1.3 billion in research grants Trump continuing to trash our best future interests, what a nightmare

What files?
WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL TOLD REUTERS ON WEDNESDAY THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WAS NOT DENYING THAT TRUMP'S NAME APPEARS IN THE FILES
They want to claim that human agency out of pricing at all, which after the past couple years of boasting on earnings calls and the formation of kajillions of "pricing consultant" companies is completely implausible.
Every pro monopoly econ guy on here giving the same core take of “nobody charging a price the market won’t bear” like 17 year olds in Econ 101
Ah yes, America first (last)

our tax code is going to be so narrow, literally the only people who will pay taxes soon are professional gamblers and w-2 wage earner renters in blue states

This stuff fills me with incredible dread—not least because of how it’s basically a given that there won’t be any political debate over such things. There’s no expectation that we, the people, should have any say in how our resources are squandered and abused.
This A1 story on Meta’s data centers, and others, use of water in an age of AI is incredible. /1
In just one summer, Pablo Torre has shown why turning sports journalism over to AI will be a monumental mistake and how AI will never be able to replicate the curiosity of a sports sicko.
They’re having Tulsi Gabbard release files about the 2016 Obama administration’s handling of Russia/Trump, he couldn’t be more what this tweet is saying
I used to think Trump had probably done some bad shit on Little St. James but that he was otherwise a secondary character in the Epstein thing but the way he is acting makes me think he is literally center frame with his social security card in his hand doing Carcosa shit

JUST IN: The Justice Department's bid to relesae Epstein grand jury info comes with a huge caveat that it will seek to redact not just victim info but other "personal identifying information." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
The GENIUS Act explicitly bars members of Congress and federal officials from profiting off stablecoins but EXEMPTS the president, vice president, and their families. This carve-out allows Trump to leverage his position for personal gain without conflict-of-interest barriers.
The US brain drain will be felt for generations. Germany never recovered from theirs. Neither will we.
Breaking News: The EPA said it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of scientists, after denying that it intended to do so. nyti.ms/4500xIU
So Trump sent a letter to Epstein with a drawing of a naked woman his denial was that he doesn’t draw pictures has published that he used to draw a picture for charity every year
The logical next step for Donald J. Trump is to sue Donald J. Trump for saying he draws lots of pictures, which Donald J. Trump denied yesterday.
