Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Chicago Barn Rock Band The Orchard On Latest Release ‘County Fair’

The four members of Chicago band The Orchard all met in high school. It wasn’t until their college years that they started to play music together. The group practiced and covered songs by artists like Velvet Underground in a barn near a friend’s orchard, hence the name of the band. They are inspired by the sounds of ‘50s country and classic Americana, describing its sound as “barn rock.” You can get a taste of that barn rock in The Orchard’s latest EP ‘County Fair.’ Reset sits down with the band.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: The Joe Biden ‘Now They Tell Us’ Phenomenon

Why is it that reports of former President Joe Biden’s failing mental acuity are just now coming out? Victor Davis Hanson asks this question on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“I don't know if you've noticed, everyone, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, they all knew about Joe Biden's dementia. Suddenly we're given all of these revealing quotes that he was completely physically and mentally unfit to carry out the oath of office. But we all knew that.

“Why all of a sudden are we no longer crazy that Joe Biden was not fit as a fiddle, that the quarantine was a mess, that Brett Kavanaugh was not a rapist or sexual assaulter, that there's more to January 6th than we're told? And I could go on and on about these 11th-hour revelations."

Everything Everywhere Daily - Artificial Turf

In 1965, the world’s first full enclosed sports facility, the Houston Astrodome, was opened to the public. 


The Astrodome itself was a marvel of engineering, but because it was enclosed, the grass that was initially planted soon died. 


It was replaced with artificial grass, which was basically a synthetic carpet that looked like grass but played and behaved totally differently. 


Today, the next generations of that artificial grass can be found in stadiums all over the world.


Learn more about artificial turf, how it was created and improved over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Kimberly Clausing, “Open: The Progressive Case for Free Trade, Immigration, and Global Capital” (Harvard UP, 2019)

Critics on the Left have long attacked open markets and free trade agreements for exploiting the poor and undermining labor, while those on the Right complain that they unjustly penalize workers back home. In Open: The Progressive Case for Free Trade, Immigration, and Global Capital (Harvard University Press, 2019), Kimberly Clausing takes on old and new skeptics in her compelling case that open economies are actually a force for good. Turning to the data to separate substance from spin, she shows how international trade makes countries richer, raises living standards, benefits consumers, and brings nations together. At a time when borders are closing and the safety of global supply chains is being thrown into question, she outlines a clear agenda to manage globalization more effectively, presenting strategies to equip workers for a modern economy and establish a better partnership between labor and the business community.

Kimberly Clausing holds the Eric M. Zolt Chair in Tax Law and Policy at the UCLA School of Law. During the first part of the Biden Administration, Clausing was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Tax Analysis in the US Department of the Treasury, serving as the lead economist in the Office of Tax Policy. Prior to coming to UCLA, Clausing was the Thormund A. Miller and Walter Mintz Professor of Economics at Reed College. Professor Clausing is also a nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. She has worked on economic policy research with the International Monetary Fund, the Hamilton Project, the Brookings Institution, the Tax Policy Center, and the Center for American Progress. She has testified before the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Committee on Finance, the Senate Committee on the Budget, and the Joint Economic Committee. Professor Clausing received her B.A. from Carleton College in 1991 and her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1996, both in economics.

Other New Books Networks interviews on related themes include Yale economist Penny Goldberg, former Chief Economist of the World Bank, on The Unequal Effects of Globalization, Princeton economist Leah Boustan on how immigrants have contributed to and rapidly assimilated into US society, and University of Massachusetts economist Isabella Weber on China's process of integration into the world economy.

The Best One Yet - 💤 “Snooze Pod” — We read Warren Buffett’s Shareholder Letter (to put you to sleep) 😴

Since we all lose an hour of sleep during Daylight Savings tonight, we whipped up a podcast to help you fall asleep: We’re reading Warren Buffett’s Annual Shareholder Letter for Berkshire Hathaway. The world’s most legendary investor, Warren outlines how he makes every financial decision.

So grab your pajamas and get under the spreadsheets, it’s time to enjoy the 2nd annual… Stock Market Snooze Pod: The Sleepiest One Yet.


(And here’s the whole letter if you’d like to read along from bed too): https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - The Constitutional Truth At The Heart Of The DOGE Cases

Elon Musk’s moves at DOGE have been legally dubious from the start. And the more we learn, the more questions we have about this not-an-agency helmed by Musk –– who is apparently both in charge, and also not in charge. That’s why we wanted to talk with Kate Shaw, University of Pennsylvania law professor and co-host of the Strict Scrutiny podcast, about the very real constitutional issues raised by DOGE and Musk and his minions. Shaw spoke with Dahlia Lithwick about what is and isn’t legal about DOGE, and the impossible bind that creates for government lawyers tasked with defending his devastation of the government.
