Been digging into this new book by @philip_dearing. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make a positive impact and, like my grandma used to say, “leave this joint better than you found it.” #WhyChangeDies

I thought this from @johnarnold was really interesting so I mapped out state HDI vs effective tax rate between meetings today. It's a slight positive correlation, but the tax rate spread for high-HDI states leaves a lot more questions to dig into...

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

Having spent significant time in both high- & low-tax states, I’m continually perplexed on where the added tax revs go. The difference in public services between the two isn't obvious. There’d be less tax aversion if quality of public services was strongly correlated to tax revs.

Happy to share more information, but I'll leave you with the best testimonial I've gotten yet: "This book makes an analytical breakdown of social movements read like a crime thriller."

CEOs with MBAs led to lower wages, higher shareholder profits, and no increase in growth or productivity 🏴‍☠️

[Betsey Stevenson @BetseyStevenson]

Drop everything and read this paper: https://t.co/OV8DD9aAbb

The bottom line: Managers with MBAs are the best at taking money from workers and not much else.

The findings are damning of business schools, business education, & business "optimizing" practices.

Amazing work and so needed!

@Fahrenthold Excited to have you on the NP beat! This is a terrible case of fraud, but a bit more context on the nonprofit starvation cycle & success stories of other food systems would’ve been nice. Without that, you’re at risk of furthering harmful stereotypes about nonprofits in general

[Philip Dearing @philip_dearing]

This raises a lot of questions and I want to learn more! Is it relatively easy to improve the quality of pre-k or is it like k-12 education where moving the needle very far is basically impossible?

[Samuel Hammond 🦉 @hamandcheese]

Devastating new results on the effects of state-funded pre-K programs.

In policy you rarely get stronger study designs than random assignment + multi-year longitudinal follow-up.

Yikes.

@sarahkaplan48 So awesome to hear you on up first this morning!

Why is colluding to constrict supply and increase prices for a vital good "savvy business" and not "dangerous, unethical, and possibly illegal." @nytimes

The idea that you should be paid less for work focused on doing good for other people.

[Show The Salary @ShowTheSalary]

IF THE SALARY IS COMPETITIVE WHY WON'T YOU SHOW IT?
