“The baseline for what students consider a reasonable amount of work has dropped so noticeably that he has cut his readings accordingly; a 750-word essay now strikes many students as long” https://t.co/CEzkDq5ZYN
New article in @Theory_Society on the line between appropriate and inappropriate political conduct in research. Who am I to set out such claims? No one special. I want to start a conversation, so if I'm wrong, let's talk about it! https://t.co/hOh82b5rfi
Between stock trading by federal officials, insider trading in prediction markets, fixed sporting events, and suspicious moves in energy, integrity in markets feels lower today than at any point in the modern era.

It's illegal for public sector unions to strike in New York State. Maybe Blakeman should run on recovering New York's ability to enforce that law against the LIRR unions, rather than promising them more money.
@NotADebacle@LIRR Nah the public option I pay for as a taxpayer should pay for my public transportation. But way to miss the point and be crass at the same time.
"This LIRR Strike Should Be the Last" — @PolicyEngineer in @CityJournal on how Kathy Hochul can not only end the strike, but bring the LIRR unions to heel.

Just got back from Tokyo. To NYC. It's hard to avoid the blindingly obvious truth--NY tax dollars are disgustingly wasted. It's shocking, the state of the City considering it's budget. You could "tax the rich" into bankruptcy and it wouldn't fix the MTA, which carries approximately the same ridership as the Tokyo Metro but has a budget 5.5x larger than Tokyo's. I mean the answer isn't dollars, it's actually just a question of efficiency. And NYC's government is corrupt, bloated, and the poster child of inefficiency.
Today's system taxes labor > capital > inheritance whereas changes in the economy increasingly argue for one that taxes inheritance > capital > labor.
The Left hates police unions. The Right hates teacher unions. Everyone hates the longshoremen union.
When will we realize that it's unions that are the problem.
The LIRR unions benefit from public ignorance/naivete on how all this works ... e.g. the vague notion of "oh, unions, that's good, they want better pay and safer conditions, who could argue with that," vs. the fact that this has been a coercive racket for 60 years. The LIRR couldn't survive like this without access to a massively wealthy tax base that isn't generally paying attention.
The LIRR sucks. $400 a month for a monthly train ticket. Conductors are nasty. Service is terrible. Trains are always delayed for “track work” or “equipment issues” or “signal trouble”. Prices keep going up. They run 8 car trains during rush hour. Just a terrible organization. Hope they strike and never ever come back.
