In 1990 there were 2245 murders in New York City.

In 2018 there were 295.

1/So, I read "The War on Normal People", by @AndrewYang.

Here is my review. Image
2/As always, I'm impressed by Yang's unflappable confidence and deep concern for other human beings. My bullshit detector is pretty strong, and I can tell that Yang honestly wants to help other people. That sort of reflexive altruism is actually pretty rare, I think.
3/Yang isn't shy about discussing his experiences with racism.

Yet getting bullied by white people didn't decrease his drive to help all Americans - including white Americans.

I really respect that. Image

IEA forecasts of solar PV installation, by year.

Each year they keep predicting that the trend will suddenly end. And each year it continues. And then the next year they make the same mistake.
And this is their "current policies" scenario, which is supposed to represent "underlying trends".

It doesn't seem to do a very good job of representing underlying trends, does it?
Please direct all inquiries concerning these mysterious forecasts to @IEABirol, the head of the agency! :-)

1/Next up in my "Immigration and Diversity" series is "How Does It Feel to Be Unwanted?: Stories of Resistance and Resilience from Mexicans Living in the United States", by Eileen Truax.

amazon.com/gp/aw/d/080707…
2/This book is a series of vignettes about Mexican undocumented immigrants to the U.S. It deals mostly with the Obama years, with only a brief mention of Trump.
3/One thing I noticed is how many of the people in these vignettes were fleeing discrimination in Mexico. They tend to be gay, disabled, or indigenous, and they come to America seeking a more liberal society that will accept them more than Mexico did.

The confidence of some of the pronouncements that I read on here, certain that Rust Belt cities will never again be able to compete with the rest of urban America, like it's written in the stars. . .
. . .written in the stars like these other doomed places:

Jerusalem, 70
Rome, 476
San Francisco, 1906
Warsaw, 1942
Dresden, 1945
Hiroshima, 1945
Berlin, 1961
Seattle, 1971
Brooklyn, 1977
Will every city recapture its former spark? Of course not.

But people who haven't even been on this earth 5 decades are too quick to assume that 5 decades of national macroeconomic realignment is a death sentence.

Thank you, Geoff (Berman), for that kind introduction, and thank you for your leadership as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. And thank you also to United States Attorney Richard Donoghue from the Eastern District of New York.
It is wonderful to be in New York during the holiday season. I’m told that this is the best time of year to visit—but I must say I am looking forward to Thanksgiving in Des Moines.
