Nations in the Global South are ready and willing to leave their fossil fuels in the ground; right now, they just can’t afford to.

Democrats should be champing at the bit to steal it back; it’s a just cause with worthy enemies. And it’s easy to frame the GOP as the enemy of the Good Life. It has no interest in solving problems and no governing philosophy beyond padding the incomes of the rich and deregulating the world we […]

Bezos said such policies don’t have anything to do with inflation, but he was wrong. Biden’s proposed 39.6 percent marginal rate would tax income above $400,000, which, yes, sets the floor way too high, but would nonetheless capture a good chunk of those free-spending Five Percenters.
