The political economy is a big part of the problem. It helps that the New York Times doesn’t need government advertising, that its owners are not susceptible to blackmail or threats... and that A.G. Sulzberger doesn’t doesn’t care whether Trump speaks at the next NYT event.

Given the Indian government's propensity to fudge economic figures, I don't see why this should take 10 years... 10 months ought to be plenty.

Sen. Hawley tells me he’s still undecided on ratifying Finland/Sweden membership in NATO. Rand & Lee already likely to vote no. Hawley wants leadership to split the votes (one for each country - won’t happen). This will get 95+ votes & likely wrap up before August recess.
