I went to get drinks with this guy I kinda knew from college. He asked me about my PhD, I said economics, he said “did you know hard seltzer gets taxed at the rate of beer, which is why it’s cheaper than a vodka soda” and yeah, we’re moving in next month

Não adianta colocar trabalhadores pra morarem LONGE DO TRABALHO. Moradia sem acesso às oportunidades econômicas é dinheiro rasgado.
Parem de construir casas para resolver a falta de moradia. A escassez em moradia não é de casas, mas sim de apartamentos. Segue o fio 🧶

Hoping for speedy clearing up, but mostly reminding folks we can improve train/commuter infrastructure and decrease reliance on i-95.
Hundreds of motorists have been stuck in the snow for more than 15 hours along I-95 in Virginia after a crash brought traffic to a halt. People have been posting increasingly desperate messages on social media about running out of fuel, food and water.

The recommendation is that we do what we are doing: give nber wps the scrutiny we give other wps. I’m more frustrated that this particular paper got sent out on the nber list, whereas better id’d papers may not get the commentary this one’s getting due to lack of nber affiliation

"First they came for immigrants
Then they came for people of color's right to vote
Then they came for women's right to choose
Then they came for the environment"
THEN THEY CAME FOR DOGS AND NO WAY YOU'LL MESS WITH DOGS.
#AbbottHatesDogs
Gov. Greg Abbott rejected SB 474, which would have provided greater protections for dogs, including banning the use of heavy chains to tether them and tax breaks for rescue facilities. Many are outraged after it passed with unwavering support.
