Tuesday assorted links
1. Quarles skeptical about a CBDC.
2. Ransomware hackers building their own VC system.
3. Why is American infrastructure so expensive?
4. Mas-Colell update (in Spanish), here in English. Judgment rendered, and he (joint with Mas, if I understand correctly) has to put up a bond of over two million euros and later stand trial, possibly to be found liable for that sum.
5. Amazing how cheap this Courbet is (other Old Masters too).
6. I feel I’ve been in advance of this trend. Non-believer intellectuals on the Right who pay heed to religion as a cultural foundation.
7. Nintil on California wildfires, very good post.
