@itspawsibl @michcooley @nednedro @LDS_Dems The majority of America agrees with you on tariffs.

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@nednedro @LDS_Dems The Revolution started in part because America hates tariffs.
Hating tariffs is the American position.

@MeganTStevenson Totally irrelevant question, but where did people learn to use "we" in solo authored papers?

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@soumitrashukla9 All that red next to New England schools certainly stands out.

Rabois is somehow wrong every time... Defies the laws of probability.

Generationally bad take about Anthropic’s valuation 💀

New headline: "when you ignore literally everything that the United States and state governments do to help people in poverty, the United States has left people in poverty... by choice."

Has the vibecession come for the job counts too?

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

I wouldn't put much stock on one noisy chart, but...

There may be a divergence brewing between job availability and worker perception of job availability.

Job openings (yellow line) have been rising all year. The QUITS rate is back at post-COVID lows.

The US population doubled from 76 million in 1900 to 151 million in 1950. And yet, housing was abundant and affordable in 1950 in the US. Why?

@jacobo_moses Oil was $55 a barrel in January 2025. No one wanted to drill.
"Job economy issues" is nonsense. Look at literally any time series...

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@JosephPolitano @nominalthoughts Joey how do you have this just queued up?

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@paulnovosad I get it. But 3rd parties often propose or would rjn inappropriate robustness tests.
"Do Callaway and Sant'Anna," they say, on a non-staggered DiD. Or "control for X," when X is a collider.

@PopePiusIXStan @emuse1955 And if so, that also implies complete impassibility, which, as I've said before, creates a philosophical version of "love" or "compassion" entirely at odds with anything we recognize or the scriptures describe. You can say "well, God IS compassion," but that is question begging.

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@PopePiusIXStan @emuse1955 It really depends on what kind of "change" you're talking about.
The OT insists God changed his mind. Is that changing?
Is Moroni talking about changes of nature? Or matters of degrees? An ontological change? Or that literally there is not one hint of change of consciousness?

@WilliamMeservy @TeeplesCY @danmccay Property taxes are one of the most efficient taxes in existence if you want revenue without shifting people's behavior in bad ways (like punishing investment or discouraging hard work). Only reason we're talking about this is that prop taxes are one of the only taxes Boomers pay.

@jacobo_moses Gas is $4 and climbing because of a crisis he created, he's getting bullied by the IRGC, inflation is near 4%, & job growth is anemic.

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@kariwarburton @melonakos You're seemingly on board with all the other unconstitutional stuff or immoral stuff he's done thus far (like a 1/6), so why is a third term suddenly beyond the pale?

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@DrWumbology @jkimballcook @mormons_speak Fairview is a clear suburb of the 4th largest metro area in the country. Not a 'small town.'
Fairview is trying to force out a religious minority asserting their legal & constitutional rights. The Church confirming that Fairview legally can't do that isn't strong arming.

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@GoWithJordan_ @CerebralCereal0 Then why did your version create the very concept of evil?

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@JeffSBennion @SawyerMerritt The chemical explosion in Beirut was also absolutely bonkers.

[Sam Dodini @microsamonomics]

@VoteTrevorLee @mckaycoppins @MittRomney You are in legal trouble, sir. Sit this one out.
