'War is diplomacy by other means,' said Carl von Clausewitz in a cliché that launched an infinite number of bad op-ed pieces. 1 I'd like to suggest a possibly fresher corollary: 'Economics is war by other means.' 2

MAHA's Credibility Crisis Is Only Going to Get Worse
This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, a massive, outrageous, pork-filled abomination of Bloomberg Opinion's opinions. Sign up here. And, if you're feeling generous, please take this quick survey to help make this newsletter slightly less abominable. Issuing a correction is standard practice in journalism. Yesterday, for instance, there was a minor error in the 13th paragraph of my newsletter: Swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev received $1 million after 'breaking' the record for the men's 50-meter freestyle, not the 100-meter, a fact that has since been corrected online. I'm not telling you this because I think you stayed up all night practicing for the 100-meter freestyle. I'm telling you because I want you to trust me and the good people working at Bloomberg Opinion.

Will the Class of 2025 Ever Get Over College?
This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, a US asset that generates tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars of economic value for Bloomberg Opinion's opinions. On Sundays, we look at the major themes of the week past and how they will define the week ahead. Sign up for the daily newsletter here. 'Looking back over a decade,' wrote F. Scott Fitzgerald, an indifferent student if there ever was one, 'one sees the ideal of a university become a myth, a vision, a meadow lark among the smoke stacks.' I'm wondering what image the class of 2025 will see in 2035 as they look back on their remarkably tumultuous undergraduate years. Will it be standing in defiance of administrators and politicians and police forces in a peaceful exercise of their First Amendment rights? Or standing in support of terrorists who murdered hundreds of people their age at a trance concert?
