The afternoon's closing of the browser tabs brings a few worthies:
- Vincent Geloso's case for not getting rid of a ceremonial monarch.
- Chris Snowdon on the effect of COP9 on vapers. The coming framework conventions on tobacco control meetings risk making things worse for vaping.
- Pattrick Smellie goes through the proposals around excluding deductibility of mortgage interest as business expense for residential property investors. It's going to be very messy. And I doubt it does anything to improve affordability.
- What Patrick Collison, Tyler Cowen and Patrick Hsu learned doing fast grants. This one's really really good. They got piles of grant money out the door, fast, and helped in research important for the Covid response. And they learned a lot about current messes in granting agencies along the way.
- And how Tech helped us get through Covid.
