Well put. @MADarbyshire of Bloomberg @business on my book: “'The jump from believing yourself worthy of an enormous fortune to believing yourself broadly superior because of it is not a hard one to make.”

Evan Osnos’s Haves and Have-Yachts explores growing wealth disparity and the subtle self-delusion embraced by the ultrarich.

A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Limiting urological, tracheostomy, and ostomy supply options will do more harm than good

Guest-hosted the #NewYorkerRadio Hour this week, but we easily could've done 3 hours, 16 minutes, and 41 seconds.
On the latest episode of #NewYorkerRadio, Wired’s Katie Drummond tells Evan Osnos that if tech moguls learned anything from Elon Musk’s tenure in the White House, “it’s that this is open season.” Listen to the full episode here:

This analysis by @BharatRamamurti is a must-read about what’s coming. In terms of job loss and wealth concentration, the China shock < the AI shock. Now is the time for action—unless of course you think US politics are too sedate and unified.
The biggest economic issue that no one is talking about:. AI is projected to replace 12 million jobs in the next decade. Americans say they're worried about it. But no national politician has a plan for it. A new piece with some ideas, from me, Zoe Jacobs, and Diego Haro. 1/

Don't get numb. ICE secretly deported a Pennsylvania grandfather, 82, after he lost his green card. Then, his family says they were told he had died. But they found him alive in a hospital in Guatemala, a country to which he has no connection.

When the history of this era is written, closing off the shared-information stream contained in local NPR/PBS will be essential to capture -- but, of course, there will be fewer and fewer sources that document it.
"We have a newspaper that's printed once a week, so without the radio station, we're kind of in the blind here, locally.". NPR's Frank Langfitt's richly observed story on Allegheny Mountain Radio - which relies heavily on federal $. (Not an NPR station) .

Grateful to @BryanAppleyard & @Lit_Review for the deep read of my book on economic inequality. "Superb, dogged journalism. Osnos writes well and fact-checks his material obsessively. Furthermore, the issues he raises are profound."

I told NYT so much of the talk of war on Iran is a repeat of the build up to Iraq war. Then “we didn’t know better, and we bought all the happy talk about Iraq. But every single assumption proved wrong.” Trump is about to make the same mistake, this time with far graver.

Many thanks to @NPR’s Book of the Day. Great to talk with veteran foreign correspondent @langfittnpr about a world that is distant to many but also inescapably close to home
