@kevinablue Begs a question, how do admins defend “tough decisions” on other sports by claiming the budget is stretched, times are tough…when somehow finding the funds for a buyout?
@JosephPolitano@lucasmariani89 Not that bank robberies are good….but maybe the boring and routine parts of US banking services have been insulated from some of the “market forces” elsewhere
@JosephPolitano There is this paper by @lucasmariani89 and others showing that innovation/adoption of mobile payment systems is driven partly by bank robberies https://t.co/FtiH3ci4a7
@JosephPolitano@M_C_Klein I am only an amateur econ commentator but am I crazy to think this SC decision could 1. become a campaign issue for Dems 2. nudge inflation a bit more in the direction we're all hoping
@M_C_Klein@JosephPolitano hi Matt and Joey, always enjoy your commentary. Any work/investigation on how the student debt "freeze" may have boosted consumption? Or conversely, how resumption of student debt payments might reduce consumption? thanks for any leads
@conorsen Along these lines, do you think VCs were aware how much anything that relied on gig workers (Uber, Doordash, etc) depended on the slack labor market post GFC ?
