@ojblanchard1 Very interesting. However, there has been extensive research on downward nominal wage rigidity in the context of the International Wage Flexibility project (https://t.co/tq0SPhlQzb). The evidence on DNWR is mixed across countries and Portugal seems to be something of an outlier.
@narendramodi Thank you PM Modi. From Google Translate: The conclusion of the India-EU Free Trade Agreement today marks a significant milestone in our relations. I thank all European leaders over the years for their constructive spirit and commitment that made this achievement possible…
I was at my bank today, and there was just an Asian lady ahead of me...
She was trying to exchange yen for dollars.
It was obvious she was a little irritated.
She asked the teller, "Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?"
The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fluctuations."
The Asian lady says, "Fluc you white people too!!"
.. What woe! The tale of how she suffered,
At the hands of angry mothers, and spiteful deeds,
She lost her teaching job, but her words traversed,
And now her legacy forever exceeds.
ChatGPT summary in Shakespeare mode of Irish Times article (https://t.co/Qu1SEcCa8Y): Hark! Behold this news I bring to thee,
Of Simone de Beauvoir, a noble dame,
Whose fame and writings do still inspire,
Yet fate hath played a cruel game …
.. "Grooming" of sex partners, they have said!
Oh, how cruel, untrue and vile,
The jealous tongues that wagged and led,
To crush her spirit and her denial.
.. A brilliant literary mind she was,
Whose Second Sex inspired generations,
And yet her name was removed because,
Of unproven slights and evil insinuations.
@pisaniferry@EUI_FBF_School@ElenaCarletti7 Seems like a great occasion. Pity that in order to register, one has to answer so many questions. The Staasi would have asked for less info!
