Economist at Utah State University.

The bigger issue is that the average college student does *not* learn economics in an economics class, which is seldom more than an elective for non-majors.

They pick it up from mandatory Gen Eds in the humanities, which teach Marxism and its many close cousins.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

I rarely agree with Bernie but thought his comments on the Kirk murder were fantastic

So @nytimes still hasn’t covered any of the #twitterfiles revelations, but they do have a 2500 word front page of Style section profile piece on a random @twitter employee no one has ever heard of before who was fired.

In 2020, Prof. @BennettCapers published a groundbreaking article advocating a shift away from prosecution as we know it. This month, CLR organized a symposium to build on this proposal & re-imagine what justice can be without prosecutors. https://t.co/HvPATKPTjw.

I spent the weekend playing with ChatGPT, MidJourney, and other AI tools… and by combining all of them, published a children’s book co-written and illustrated by AI!

Here’s how! 🧵

There is no subject on which SCOTUS's fair-weather originalism, lack of rigor, and proclivity for magical thinking has been more evident—or more destructive—than plea bargaining. Try to find one thing in the highlighted passage that isn't palpably false. https://t.co/JJyoF4vqgZ

When people demand a ban on “assault weapons,” they don’t actually want to ban them. They want a concentrated group of government agents with a long and extensively documented track record of committing violence against innocent people to have a monopoly on them. Pass it on.

THREAD. A rare thing is happening today: we are about to get a window into the secret world of how cops shape the news. There's a hearing this afternoon into how San Francisco cops manipulate the media through “strategic communications.” The internal documents are shocking.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

I want to highlight a common practice at the Associated Press, the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC, and many other corporate news outlets: The report what officials *say* their reasons are for a policy as their *actual reason.* Here is an example from NYT:

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

Jefferson Parish Sheriff Office deputy was captured on video repeatedly SLAMMING Shantel Arnold to the ground by her hair! This is absolutely horrifying and UNACCEPTABLE! An investigation has been opened into this officer's actions. He must be held accountable!

[Nathan Taylor @ntaylor963]

I saw the movie Parasite randomly on a plane flight, with few priors. I didn't realize my reaction was unusual until just now reading @ATabarrok

I found it mostly a warning of the vast destructive power of elite wannabes.

Anyway, agree with Tabarrok.
