my humble, simple reading of the election results:
to those who will run for an office: wait for high oil prices for an easy win.

important! next generation is endogenously "less sharp"!

[Surajit Dasgupta @surajitdasgupta]

That Gen Z is the first generation that is dumber than its predecessors is no longer an opinion. It is scientifically established, as is the cause.

@mfariacastro @AirCanada @porterairlines Sorry to hear that, Miguel. Did they also mock sorry offer you on providing “food” vouchers that can only cover 1 banana at the airport? Tbh, I get more frustrated by those offers.

@TMobile has one of the worst customer services. Neither their store representatives nor the customer service people over the phone can solve problems. They just waste my time and not even trying to help.

[Musab Kurnaz @KurnazMusab]

@orgul_ozturk Tebrikler Orgul hocam.

[Musab Kurnaz @KurnazMusab]

@FlyFrontier has no customer care representative that you can talk. there is no solution for your lost luggages. All they email you is "please wait for our email". how hard could it be to find and send a stroller and car seat to final destination? shame on @FlyFrontier

[Musab Kurnaz @KurnazMusab]

@FrontierCare @FlyFrontier who will get in touch with me @FlyFrontier ?

[Musab Kurnaz @KurnazMusab]

@bertanturhan @UVA @IowaStateU such a nice family!

[Musab Kurnaz @KurnazMusab]

@FSMandel Congratulations, Federico!

@akbarpour_ I think the democrats started to pay "attention" to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza after the Michigan primary polls. Uncommited votes almost equal to the difference between Biden and Trump in 2020.

[Musab Kurnaz @KurnazMusab]

@timurkuran I don't think he said it personally. Religious affairs have offices in each city and someone can call and ask questions and get answers from there. Also, the reporter (from Sozcu) has a conflict of interest. In the next sentence, it says: "Beating should not harm women. etc."

@jj_eugene_tan @mariabzhu back to December seems to appear as "a skip song" if the day went well 🙂

[Musab Kurnaz @KurnazMusab]

@J2dubyas oh sorry. I did not notice that. but still, it supports the nurse's idea🙂 (if not, that is indeed a very big gap!)

[Musab Kurnaz @KurnazMusab]

@J2dubyas I would not trust the data. I remember the 2016 elections, a nurse of UPMC was saying "so many doctors of this hospital seem to support Hillary but they will vote for Trump because they fear losing their coolness!" but it wasn't just doctors🙂it can be true for faculties too

[Musab Kurnaz @KurnazMusab]

@and_joy_ sometimes, the social planner's solution should be this much simple compared to solutions attained by mechanism design problems 🙂
