** What American Voters Just Told Us: How the Electorate Just Shattered Populist Myths on Both Sides ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
by Will Marshall
The 2020 elections have shattered two populist myths: Donald Trump’s invincibility and the left’s ascendancy in U.S. politics.
Trump has spent a lifetime burnishing his legend as an unbeatable wheeler and dealer. Never mind that his business career is littered by failed ventures and six trips to bankruptcy court. Through sheer force of will, Trump always wins in the end.
Or so he wants his supporters to believe as he sulks in the White House and insists, without a shred of proof, that he’s been cheated out of reelection. In a sign of how badly negative partisanship has warped our politics, 70% of ([link removed]) Trump’s supporters say they believe the vote somehow must have been rigged against their hero.
To paraphrase the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not to their own version of reality. In the real world, Joe Biden won about 5.5 million more ([link removed]) votes than Trump and a comfortable Electoral College majority of 306-232.

** The Political Economy of the Beer Excise Tax ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
by Michael Mandel
Why beer? First, brewery employment is one of the great success stories in manufacturing in recent years. The number of jobs in the brewery industry increased a stunning 230% from 2007 to the pre-pandemic peak of 2019, making breweries the fastest growing manufacturing industry.

** How Apple's Latest Move Could Boost the Post-Pandemic Economy ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
by Michael Mandel
Apple announced ([link removed]) this morning that it is reducing its commission on paid apps and in-app purchases from 30% to 15% for qualified small businesses and independent developers. This move obviously has plenty of implications for competition policy and business models.
But from the perspective of macroeconomic recovery, this commission reduction comes at just the right time to simulate post-pandemic job growth.
