@RickPalaciosJr Can you define “live on their own”? Is that just not living with their parents? I’m wondering how partners or roommates play into it.

Honestly didn’t expect Nashville to beat Austin on this

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The Bay Area has almost 7x as much VC investment as the second biggest US startup hub, NYC.

@emilyfor7 Thank you for doing everything you could. I really appreciate your advocacy for what district 7 wants and doesn’t want.

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

@bencasselman Has the BLS released data on the population adjustments for today’s jobs report yet?

[Chelsea McCready @cdmccready]

@NewsLambert Bank lending standards aren’t my concern. Nonbanks make up the majority of mortgages and seem to be easing standards.

@NashvilleMWS Sudden drop in water pressure in south Inglewood. Tried to call to report it but your mailbox is full.

@TreppWire Would love to take a look at your Q4 bank earnings prediction data, if you’re willing to share

[Chelsea McCready @cdmccready]

These results are not surprising. But it’s still alarming that the GOP gerrymandered Nashville (an overwhelmingly blue city) out of representation in the US House of Representatives.

[Chelsea McCready @cdmccready]

@Ascend_amp That’s not really an update though

[Chelsea McCready @cdmccready]

@MacroAlf Aren’t people more likely to put travel charges on credit cards? With the spending shift from goods to services/travel, I’m not surprised credit card balances are higher. I guess we’ll see what the delinquency numbers look like in a few months.

@emilyfor7 @mendesbob Thank you for confirming!

from the director of Get Out and Us comes his most audacious horror yet...

@mattyglesias Nope, this data wasn’t age-adjusted. When you adjust for age, the quote above is not true. https://t.co/5QvN2TWBo5

[Justin Feldman @jfeldman_epi]

These are covid deaths for 2022 so far, accessed through CDC WONDER. White people have close to the highest crude mortality rate, but an age-adjusted mortality rate lower than that of Black, American Indian, and Pasifika people (only non-Hispanic people shown here)

This is obviously behavioral — food allergies don’t protect you from covid. If you have food allergies, you already learned that you need to take extra precautions to protect yourself. You have a heightened sense of personal responsibility to stay safe/healthy. #covid

[WebMD @WebMD]

People with food allergies have 50% less risk of becoming infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 than people who don’t have food allergies, a National Institutes of Health study found. https://t.co/zc6PCBsKF9

Just listened to this episode and now I’m trying to figure out how to tell everyone I know to buy I Bonds without sounding like nerd grandma.

[The Indicator @theindicator]

Savings bonds are suddenly en vogue, with Series I Bonds now yielding 9.62%. Today, we explain what these bonds are, and why they could be a place worth parking your money while inflation is high.

@CASANashville Is it too late to get Late Party tickets?

[Jason Furman @jasonfurman]

These are some of the general writing tips I gave CEA staff, they're probably broadly applicable to much writing by economists.
