Typically important observations here. The game is far from over. Communities that begin making these investments and market them effectively will succeed.

Remote work is now the largest ‘industry’ in the USA. It will reward those places that spent the past decades improving quality of life; making better schools, reducing crime and fixing infrastructure.

And penalizing those who did not. https://t.co/RYEeTECEGA

@NYTGames I stumped the NYT Wordle Bot today.
It examined my guess and said I only had one possible alternative. I guessed another.

It was a valid word and used all previous info.

In a very passive aggressive reply, the Bot commended my vocabulary and gave me a zero level!

1/ Quick Friday tweet storm on Indiana's evolving labor markets. Three issues I want to hit are a) really poor labor markets in 21st century, b) Big job polarization since COVID, and c) the decline in employment by young people (< 24).

These have policy implications.

@abateofindiana One of Mitch's very favorite constituencies has been the rank and file of ABATE. I was there when he took the RV to the 2004 Boogie. Now, Jim Banks and David McIntosh are attacking him for riding a motorcycle! Unbelievable stupidity. Too much time in D.C., I guess

[Bill Oesterle @billo317]

@HicksCBER You underestimate the impact of your own work. We are indeed unprepared, but far less so because of it.

[Bill Oesterle @billo317]

Indiana is full of these. This is a unique opportunity for us.

Before 2020, post-industrial cities were losing the competition for talent. Going forward, WFH creates new possibilities that cities such as Baltimore can attract such workers if their quality of life is strong relative to local home prices. Competition!

@davebangert Couldn't believe it when I saw it.

[Bill Oesterle @billo317]

@HicksCBER provides an excellent roadmap for this work. The details will require work, but he has built the framework.

[Matthew E. Kahn @mattkahn1966]

Does urban quality of life now have a greater impact on a city's future than urban productivity effects? The competition to attract footloose WFH workers will make America stronger.

Reminds me of the tourist who kicks the bison for a selfie. The tourist gets gored, and the bison goes back to sleep

The hostility of the Club for Growth to Mitch Daniels illustrates the crackup of the American Right. I believe that Dusty Rhodes and other Club for Growthers of yore would be amazed and disgusted.

Oddly, I know Chris (Shooter) a little bit. He is an AWESOME guy.

True Story 🐐

[Bill Oesterle @billo317]

This is fascinating. Women in information economy jobs are driving remote work. High pay, community seeking.

@InnovateEconomy 7 in 10 American voters want more skilled immigration to the U.S.

60% of Republicans,
83% of Democrats,
72% of Independents.

Can't say Americans don't agree on anything anymore.

[Matthew E. Kahn @mattkahn1966]

In a footloose WFH economy, center cities must prioritize improving local quality of life in order to compete with rival suburban locations. Such competition will help cities in the medium run.

One small idea would be to stop shitting on my family when you’re running for office in Arizona.

Now, if she wins, she will help reinforce the despicable stereotype that Hoosiers are xenophobic. @jonschwantes was spouting this crap on Indiana Week in Review this week.@brandonjsmith5

[Bill Oesterle @billo317]

Look, Morales needs to lose, but Wells' "eighth generation Hoosier" dog whistle is disgusting. Believing jingoism will work with Hoosier voters disrespect us all. Even Morales does not justify this shameful ploy.

@TOTOUSA If you need a spokesmodel...

[Bill Oesterle @billo317]

Without ALS I would have never discovered the magical Toto S350e Bidet Seat. I am here to tell the non-ALS world that you don't know what you are missing! Heated seat, pulsating mode, self cleaning, remote... $1000 seems a lot for a toilet seat. It's not. Well done, @TOTOUSA!
