@BetseyStevenson e.g. he wrote “The rich…consume little more than the poor, and in spite of their natural selfishness…They are led by an invisible hand to make nearly the same distribution of the necessaries of life, which would have been made, had the earth been divided into equal portions.”🤔

I'll be a panelist at @sdclimateaction’s NEXUS climate conference. If you want to help us think about what it takes to create an #equitable and #sustainable SD, join on October 21: https://t.co/encbPTATdM

@NateSilver538 I think the best thing we could do to bring elected power more in line with the popular will is to eliminate primaries and let the parties choose their candidates. Primaries break the logic of the median voter theorem. And getting rid of primaries would be far easier.
Hi there @mhugolopez & @Lnoebustamante love your article on preferences for terms Hispanic/Latino/Latinx. Do you have data by region? My colleagues in SoCal tell me the community here prefers Latino over Hispanic. I'd love to see if your data reflects that.https://t.co/AazFB75Eyr

@JohnHolbein1 Ask current grad students if the people in the department—faculty & grad students—get along well. Not worth spending your time with emotionally maladapted misanthropes. (In case anyone thinks I’m throwing shade, UCSD was mostly a great place to be, at least in 2006.)
