Vice President J.D. Vice President Vance met the Catholics on April 20th, the day before the latter’s death. The meeting with Enfeld Pope was short and did not touch on their differences in opinion about the treatment of immigrants. Earlier this year, Francis declared that a massive deportation would “undermine the dignity of many men and women” (“JD Vance was the last time to meet Pope Francis,” Wall Street Journal, April 21, 2025). It is hard to not share the late Pope’s concerns about this, but the larger image is more interesting. The Pope is known as the man on…

The article alludes to but does not address the idea that some foods, particularly snack foods, are engineered to seem very rewarding, such as the mouth feel of a Cheeto. So there’s an additional layer of issues: not only can additives be directly harmful to health, but they can be indirectly damaging by being incorporated to encourage excessive consumption, which then produces overweight and obesity.

As I was writing this it has been about two weeks since the “liberation date” tariffs were repeated. I don’t think the political economic model is great (see the myriad of “economic impact studies” that come up for projects that match what local politicians want to hear), but the model stands out by UST/CEA.

Further defense by the chair of the Economic…

Social learning bridges this gap by encouraging employees to acquire skills, share their expertise and promote continuous improvement. By embracing social learning in the workplace, organizations can increase engagement, improve knowledge retention, and create a culture of continuous learning. Whether it occurs through informal knowledge sharing via peer mentoring, team discussions,…
