Great article from Vox on the new book from MIT economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson exploring whether progress = prosperity through the lens of history.

She's always good but today's is especially pertinent to #diSantis #Florida #bookburnings #historylesson
"To accept DeSantis’s version of our history would be a perversion of our past and our principles."

@BlueDouche> UK paid for it
Allow me to provide a REAL #HistoryLesson : WW2 Lend-Lease was a "gift/loan" just like you might "loan" your neighbor a cup of sugar! Under the agreement, they were only required to pay for equipment RECEIVED AFTER the end of the war, with a 90% discount and 50-YEAR repayment plan.
UK loaned $31B repaid $1.1B
USSR loaned $11B repaid $722M

Next time, before you try to "teach me a little history," YOU should LEARN A LITTLE HISTORY FIRST!
