One of the all-time greats.

Among other things, Sterling had perfect attendance for 30 years, he called 5,060 *consecutive* Yankees games from 1989 to 2019.

On a more personal note — when I worked at the Yankees in 2022, the analysts ate in the same cafeteria as the media. John was always exceptionally kind to me (at one point asking me to explain my grad school research)

[New York Yankees @Yankees]

The Yankees mourn the loss of legendary broadcaster John Sterling. Our thoughts are with John’s family, friends and loved ones at this time.

Government debt insures households if repaid through progressive taxation. Rising debt levels alter future taxes, and thus household risks. This shifts demand for risky and safe assets, impacting bond prices.

What do economists agree on?

[Ben Marrow @benmarrow]

@mvbulutay Economists also respond with their confidence in the answer (presumably the experts in the field are more confident). You can construct weighted averages too; in practice they don’t change the point estimates all that much.
