A crisis amplifies the defects of public policy and the fallacies of a world view. Suddenly nobody can find the Stash and the assumptions of a no borders world seem like a delusion.
The math assumes the universe cooperates with his plan and nothing unexpected happens.

Yet no one foresaw the fall of the USSR, least of all Bernie ... or 9/11, 2008, the Arab Spring, Brexit, 2016 or 2020. Step right up folks and bet $50 trillion on a vision.
It's a sure thing.

Will the Olympics be postponed? Back in the day wars were postponed for the Olympics. During the second Greco-Persian war in 480 BC Xerxes invasion could not be met because of the Olympic truce.
Therefore Leonidas and his 300 were sent ahead as a sacrificial delaying force to allow the Spartans to come after the truce.
Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire described how the Greeks returned to the pass and sanctified it with athletic events and ceremonies and left an inscription on a stone, composed by the poet Simonides.

Trouble is some people have to stay at work to supply, power and respond to those people at home.

“Travellers scowl at us, and countrymen give us scornful names. 'Strider' I am to one fat man who lives within a day's march of foes that would freeze his heart, or lay his little town in ruin, if he were not guarded ceaselessly.”
Think about the trash collectors. They can't stop.

One potential weapon against covid-19 is pre-infection prophylaxis. There are some products out there that have shown the potential to defend against viral attack, such as against SARS.
I happen to be aware of PUL-042 because the chairman of the company was a software development client. But there must be other off the shelf products that need to be scientifically examined to ensure no tool against the epidemic is overlooked.

Careful consideration is not as easy as it sounds for the bandwidth round the health authorities is as congested as only a crisis can make it. Policy makers have run out of time and the engagement queue is 'saturated' as they used to say.

Lets talk #New #Tools for #MonetaryPolicy...
The #Global #Financial #Crisis of 2007/08 taught the policy making world that something special beyond #Conventional #MonetaryPolicy was necessary to lift economies out of the economic malaise...tinkering with the key rates was not enough anymore...
To this end, #centralbanks in the developed world (The US, UK, Japan, The EuroArea) adopted what they termed #UnconventionalMonetaryPolicy #UMP which is characterised by #ForwardGuidance #NegativeInterestRatePolicy & #QuantitativeEasing...but, have they helped?

Niskanen Center
@NiskanenCenter
.@JonathanChait provides an excellent overview of what we’re trying to do here at the Niskanen Center: map out a program for maximizing human freedom...one that follows the data and facts over ideology.

nymag.com/intelligencer/…
We’re named after William Niskanen, not to embody our namesake’s every policy position, but to emulate his spirit of open inquiry and his willingness to consider heterodox positions in light of where the evidence is pointing.
.@jonathanchait notes several reasons we have abandoned conservative/libertarian labels...we are concerned about how blind dedication to small government can lead to problematic policy positions..as expanded upon by our recently released policy vision: niskanencenter.org/blog/niskanen-…

Reform-leaning politicians have always had serious opposition from the political elite, who wish to perpetuate the status quo. Today, Kayode Fayemi is the political barometer for governors/public leaders who wish to implement system-wide reform in the system.
#EdReform #Kaduna
Educational reform in Kaduna state in the last few days has generated the usual bickering that permeates the political divide. The conversations that my generation needs to have regarding education are many, but should be beyond the childish politicking that's pervasive so far
The dangers of politicizing our educational system is that 1) children suffer 2) our future is endangered 3) we keep losing our competitiveness as we fail to raise a new generation of thinkers with the skills & resources required to better their lives, add to nation's prosperity
