Sunday assorted links


1. The family keeping watch over a 52-year-old pot of soup (WSJ).  I guessed the country wrong.

2. The rise of grocery tourism.

3. PEPFAR interview.  Much of this is substantive, and interesting.  But some of Mike’s claims are absurd, for instance: “Elon Musk, on his own, if he paid his taxes, could end world hunger.”  Can he really believe that?

4. David Brooks on who benefits from AI (Atlantic).

5. Michael Polanyi’s book The Contempt of Freedom is now reissued.  Amazon link here.

6. Falling fertility on the political left is the key driver of U.S. birth rate decline.  Do note that political views are somewhat heritable.  That said, other demographics are moving America to the left economically.

7. Spanish demographics and net tax contributors.
