From the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to the debt ceiling, different parts of the U.S. government keep hurting the economy, writes Zachary Karabell
, including those at the Federal Reserve, who have failed to appreciate how much stress those rate increases is causing the banking system. The result has been three of the largest bank failures in U.S. history, which has surprisingly yet to create a contagion because of the overall resilience of the system not because of any great acumen on the part of government officials. The lesson should be to tread very carefully – do no harm – from here on out.
Next are the continual calls for higher taxes, especially in blue states where taxes are already quite high relative to other parts of the country. Yes, New York City is a vast, complicated place, with its own university system, a complex public transport network, not nearly enough affordable housing and billions of dollars in defrayed infrastructure needs. And yet there are other ways to meet public needs without endlessly raising taxes, as states such as Florida and Arizona have demonstrated.

NREM sleep as a novel protective cognitive reserve factor in the face of Alzheimer's disease pathology - BMC MedicineBackground Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology impairs cognitive function. Yet some individuals with high amounts of AD pathology suffer marked memory impairment, while others with the same degree of pathology burden show little impairment. Why is this? One proposed explanation is cognitive reserve i.e., factors that confer resilience against, or compensation for the effects of AD pathology. Deep NREM slow wave sleep (SWS) is recognized to enhance functions of learning and memory in healthy older adults. However, that the quality of NREM SWS (NREM slow wave activity, SWA) represents a novel cognitive reserve factor in older adults with AD pathology, thereby providing compensation against memory dysfunction otherwise caused by high AD pathology burden, remains unknown. Methods Here, we tested this hypothesis in cognitively normal older adults (N=62) by combining 11C-PiB (Pittsburgh compound B) positron emission tomography (PET) scanning for the quantification of β-amyloid (Aβ) with sleep electroencephalography (EEG) recordings to quantify NREM SWA and a hippocampal-dependent face-name learning task. Results We demonstrated that NREM SWA significantly moderates the effect of Aβ status on memory function. Specifically, NREM SWA selectively supported superior memory function in individuals suffering high Aβ burden, i.e., those most in need of cognitive reserve (B=2.694, p=0.019). In contrast, those without significant Aβ pathological burden, and thus without the same need for cognitive reserve, did not similarly benefit from the presence of NREM SWA (B=-0.115, p=0.876). This interaction between NREM SWA and Aβ status predicting memory function was significant after correcting for age, sex, Body Mass Index, gray matter atrophy, and previously identified cognitive reserve factors, such as education and physical activity (p=0.042). Conclusions These findings indicate that NREM SWA is a novel cognitive reserve factor providing resilience against the memory impairment otherwi
