I know they think this is cool and edgy but I actually think it’s bad politics on an issue that they starting to really lose on and poking a bunch of judges who can make their lives pretty miserable who might not otherwise be inclined to do so 🤷‍♀️

Man our failure to do any productive public investment during an entire decade of negative real interest rates is going to look awfully foolish in hindsight.

White House officials appear to be withholding pool reporters' dispatches when the reports include information -- eg that a Netanyahu press conference was canceled, or that AP was barred -- that they don't like. Another holy-shit scoop from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social www.status.news/p/white-hous...

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

The asshole who talked about putting USAID "into the woodchipper," and childishly grinned when prancing around with his chainsaw, is now having hurt feelings because Tim Walz made fun of him. Even Trump is going to recognize pretty soon that this is a "brand-image minus" for him.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free. - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks. - All workers get pensions.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Wow, looking forward to digging into this! In the press release, you describe special benefits of public R&D. I agree with you, but does the paper empirically address this? I imagine readers right now asking, 'Why public?' e.g. Moscona & Sastry QJE show strong market incentives for adaptation.

Fascinating abstract - looking forward to reading this in full. It's such a simple idea (like most good ones are), I'm surprised demographers haven't performed such calculations before?
