Thatcherism vs Reaganomics

The fiscally conservative Rishi Sunak is borrowing from Margaret Thatcher while the tax-cutting Liz Truss channels Ronald Reagan.

The US “starve the beast” theory feels relevant in the context of the Tory election: the belief that cutting taxes will automatically lead to lower public spending as revenue is restricted. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star…

I am absolutely devastated about Norm Macdonald. Norm had the most unique comedic voice I have ever encountered and he was so relentlessly and uncompromisingly funny. I will never laugh that hard again. I'm so sad for all of us today.

Devastated. Met Norm in Ottawa when he was in my audience at 17 years old. Been close for decades. We have lost a comedic genius. No other voice in comedy has been as uniquely prolific, brazen, dark, hilarious, and heartfelt. Love you forever, Norm.
