Working on an update where we look at Karl Marx's citation patterns after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 in multiple language groups. Our original paper focused on English. Here are the results, updated with the new 2024 Google Books corpus.

Hint: this would happen automatically and without any regulation if we just got rid of sugar tariffs and corn subsidies.

Have you noticed yet that every single tariff "deal" negotiated by this administration ends up with Americans paying substantially higher tariff rates than the ones that existed before it took office in January 2025?

We live in an Orwellian hell-scape. Facebook is now "fact checking" anyone who questions the White House's word-games about the definition of a recession.

Mansa Musa was also one of the largest mass-enslavers in the history of the world. In 1324 he embarked on a pilgrimage across Egypt to Mecca, bringing 12,000 slaves in tow.

There's actually a very, very strong case for impeaching Howard Lutnick over the usurpation of basic constitutional powers by conducting unauthorized legislative activities as an administrator. Both on this and with tariffs.

I listened to both. The Ontario ad only differs by excerpting key lines of the speech to fit in the 1 minute timeframe. All of those lines are authentic and reflect Reagan's anti-tariff beliefs. They are also public record and do not require your permission. Retract this tweet.

President Trump's economic polices are simple: if you invest in and create jobs in America, you'll be rewarded. We'll lower regulations and reduce taxes. But if you build outside of the United States, you're on your own.
