After all the excitement over Bidenomics, the much touted investment plan reads like a throwback. I try to make sense of a hobbled and unfocused climate program. W/t to @70sBachchan newstatesman.com/world/north-am… https://t.co/VPo0i4hr9L

Over last 20 years membership in Angela Merkel’s CDU has plunged. In part due to resignations in part due to “aging out”. SPD even more dramatic. CSU much less so. Linke and FDP stable and Greens doubling over same period. H/t @TiniDo de.statista.com/infografik/246… https://t.co/3t70dx6RQO
Erwartungshorizont – horizon of expectation. A term I had always associated with Koselleck/Gadamer, but apparently derives from his contemporary at Heidelberg in 1950s, the literary theorist and historian Hans Robert Jauss. A man with a past. core.ac.uk/download/pdf/4… https://t.co/pLtx8yCOwn

Isnt cynical view @BrankoMilan that Brazil/India btw them account for <6% of global GDP at exchange rates. So long as AE can convince themselves that rapid vaccination will protect us and that mutations will not be lethal – big ifs obs – the recovery is on course. twitter.com/BrankoMilan/st…

@shuvankr @sritara Yup. All of the above. And medical teams were all over the place. Highly efficient division of labour.
US patent number 10,960,070, aka ’070 patent — developed by NIH scientists relates to how spike protein is stabilised in vaccine = key component of mRNA vaccine jointly developed by Moderna and NIH last year.

@shuvankr @sritara Can’t speak for Uk or but as far as Javits NYC is concerned your account is not correct. We were registered (by admin person). Had swift consult with nurse. After vaccination there is an observation period in a holding area that offered water % soothing spring quartet!
"Investing now in expanding capacity for additional annual 1 bn courses could accelerate widespread immunization by over 4 months, providing additional global benefits of $576 to $989 per course.

Mere fact that US Trade Rep is considering the possibility of a Trips waiver for COVID vaccines (even if it’s just being done in the spirit of being open-minded) overturns Trump admin position and is drawing fire from US pharma. ft.com/content/f230e4… https://t.co/98ECslUTWb

Inflation in Germany might hit 3% this year. Rather than a test of the ECB’s policy framework, it is a test of the character of German politics. A Green Party Finance Minister could be confronted with Weidmann on the war path. @Jmhaas ft.com/content/c587dd… https://t.co/GsBSS3JsIZ

@Jorge_Tamames Thank you. But you are really spot on about Sanders. I am kicking myself. Would have made a great way to land it! 😉
@Jorge_Tamames Hi Jorge I actually think you are right on both these points. In my defense I would say I “proxied” the Sanders point with my aside about MMT. But you are right it deserves further elaboration and would land the piece better. Eurozone is significant but more of a side bar.
