You can always count on me to apply foundational skills--effectively.

(P.S. what are these?)

Looking ahead to 2028 and beyond, it's pretty clear that Republicans will have a hard time getting far with Trump-style racial politics—nor will there be much of an appetite for it from a GOP that is already changing/different—but I think we're pretty far from a world where the two parties are debating the minutiae of gov't redistribution and tax policy.

The message in 2028 will be softer, but I expect at least some resurgence of anti-immigrant politics, and definitely some probing on how far they can get with trans rhetoric.

Look also for a sharpening/clarification of America First, rather than a wholesale reboot.

And now back to energy and wildfire analysis!

One thing I was pretty dumb about (live/work too close to SV, I think) was just how useful of villains Elon, Sam, et al were going to make themselves in the run-up to the election. Curious if/how Dems will continue to bang that drum for the next two years.

There is almost no chance I would be in the career I'm in absent Jim Andreoni's undergraduate behavioral econ class.

Rest in peace.
