Manolo Quezon is #TheExplainer Newsletter — Issue #100 is the End of Revue

Sad news today: Revue is going the way of all things, having been declared a casualty of the new era of Twitter ownership. This will therefore be the last newsletter on this platform. But wait! There’s more! For current subscribers I’ve taken the liberty of signing you on to my…

Manolo Quezon is #TheExplainer Newsletter — Health Lessens Wealth

This week’s column tried to take a holistic look at different stories competing for our attention. But the overall story it seems to me, is the government acknowledging health is a drag on the economy, and that the economy could stand a boost from dropping health precautions: this would also…
