*the effect of repealing rent control laws on the supply of apartments in Buenos Aires*

(from "The Impact of the Chainsaw-Liberation on the Rental Housing Market in Buenos Aires", Elfert and Thomsen, IZA DP 18107)

Countries are like insurance pools. Young pay for the old. If there’s adequate fertility, the pool is stable. If fertility falls too much in a country, either insurance levels must fall or there will be will adverse selection & youth will flee the country. This will hasten the collapse of insurance, a death spiral.

[Atul Gupta @gupta_atulk]

[Carnivore Aurelius ©🥩 ☀️🦙 @AlpacaAurelius]

This is nuts.

In 1990 healthcare wasn’t the top employer in any state

In 2024 it’s the top employer in 39 states

We are the united states of healthcare
