@McFaul No one is spending it. He's invested it - in Tesla and SpaceX. Which give us Tesla and SpaceX.

Why does nobody understand this is not cash under a mattress?

Morris Kleiner is who all scholars should aspire to be. Not only does he put out solid occupational licensing reform papers constantly, but he's the kindest person too.

Two Democratic lawmakers have introduced a bill in Congress that would create a right to sue federal law enforcement officers who stop someone from filming or observing police activity.

@LibsAreCrzy @HicksCBER If you believe in free markets, Ball State has one of the best economics departments in the country.

But schools that emphasize critical thinking aren't going to just toe any party's line.

@atrupar So the answer is "none." There is no evidence. Thanks Mike.

Here's email I received from the journal Contemporary European History in 2021 when I alerted them to Quinn Slobodian's quote manipulations. They insisted he had gone through "rigorous peer review."

I learned shortly thereafter that a referee flagged the same quote manipulations in 2018 and recommended rejection. The editors overruled their own referee.

Slobodian was named co-editor of the same journal in 2020. As I said yesterday, academic rot goes much deeper than a simple crisis of rigor.

Im almost embarrassed to say how many times I listened to this. It actually gave me goosebumps. 😂

Wow! Big news for economic history research. All of the data in the Historical Statistics of the US is now available ungated. Previously you had to pay $6 per table if your library didn't have access

I'd like to announce that drlate, a Stata module for doubly robust estimation of the local average treatment effect (LATE) and the local average treatment effect on the treated (LATT), is now available in SSC.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”

“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”

🚨BREAKING: Russia has attacked NATO-country Romania with a drone. This is a developing situation.

@RareCamellia It’s like I went to sleep, woke up, and the entire country turned into an HOA run by the worst Karen imaginable. Everyone wants to tell others what they can and can’t do with their own property.

@WhiteHouse @mevans5729 Zero investigations, indictments, arrests, or even so much as a parking ticket for Epstein’s coconspirators. As Melania said, Epstein did not act alone.

[Spike Cohen @RealSpikeCohen]

Michael and Tasha Patterson's twin babies have medical conditions that cause fractures. @MyFLFamilies ignored the medical evidence, accused them of abuse, and adopted the twins out to another family.

We're going to get them back. Go to the comments to see how you can help for free and just a minute or two of your time.

@ClemsonTigerNet Very good news.

Why do dentists always have golf hobbies. I would be much happier if my dentist had fine motor skills, craftsmanship, attention to detail hobbies. I'd like to see fly tying, calligraphy, or painting miniatures.

Frustrating to see Indiana ranked so low on # of college graduates. 42. Couldn't we at least be in the top half? https://t.co/4Pq1DW46TB
