Researching innovation, competition, and entrepreneurial ecosystems @UTulsa. PhD in Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship. Recovering lawyer.

[Prof. Roary Snider @RESnider]

Overheard in the office today.

Student: I really need a B in this class. Professor: Yeah, I’m not sure that 58% rounds up to 80%.

[U of Tulsa Facts (TU Facts) @UTulsaFacts]

Tulsa is a top market for young college grads (and this was before gas was a billion dollars per gallon).

With a beautiful cityscape, vibrant cultural scene, open-minded culture, central location, and incredible food, the tremendous value is almost a side note.

[Prof. Roary Snider @RESnider]

This is how you actually enact Henry VI, Part II: first, let’s kill all the lawyers. Destroy institutions that ensure high quality standards and prevent blatant ideological corruption — and then wonder why no one is left to stop the tyrants. Dick the Butcher would be proud.

[U.S. Department of Justice @TheJusticeDept]

The ABA’s cartel-like control over law school accreditation drives up costs, limits access, and pushes ridiculous ideological mandates over merit.

Ending the Tennessee Supreme Court’s exclusive reliance will expand opportunity AND lower costs.
Great work @USAO_MDTN, @JusticeATR, and @FTC!

Polymarket prices are highly accurate in predicting future events. The source of that accuracy is less obvious.

In a new working paper, we find it is not the “wisdom of crowds,” but a small minority of informed traders.

Fewer than 3% of accounts appear to drive price discovery; most perform no better than chance.

The majority generates most of the volume but little of the information, effectively funding the informed minority.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

@JohnMorganESQ The best name for a new party is Families First. Makes it clear that corporations and other big interests are not first, as they are now.

Southern was one of the first manufacturers back in the early 60s

[Prof. Roary Snider @RESnider]

My grandfather Ron Snider was an original innovator of the ambulance industry and founded Southern Ambulance Builders. It used to be a vibrant, competitive industry. As you can see, not so much anymore.

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

Today I released an investigative piece on something most people don't think about until they really need it - ambulances. The price of ambulances has skyrocketed since 2012. Why? It's likely... private equity.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

This is called ‘surveillance pricing.’

It should be illegal.

I have a bill to ban it.

[Prof. Roary Snider @RESnider]

@Justalurke @matthewstoller @rockmom Well, Wheeled Coach used to have inventory sitting on the lot available for immediate delivery before the PE firm bought them.

[Prof. Roary Snider @RESnider]

@matthewstoller Scott Barnes is definitely not the founder of Wheeled Coach. That would be Don Collins Sr.

[Alejandro Montenegro @aemonten]

Yeah. Not good.

I’m a savvy, modern researcher. I have dozens of windows and hundreds of tabs open at all times, each containing articles I’ll never read. I yearn for Chrome to crash and deliver me from a nightmare of my own creation.

[Prof. Roary Snider @RESnider]

@ProfRobAnderson It’s pretty hard to beat Palsgraf, though the most memorable opening line of a case is “replevin for a cow” from Sherwood v. Walker.

How all author ordering concerns should be settled.

"The co-first authorship order was determined via the best of three rounds in Super Smash Bros."

@TulsaFootball No one is going to convince me that @owenostroski_ didn’t score that TD!

[Robert Pondiscio @rpondiscio]

The opacity of academic prose arises from the epistemological imperative to operationalize disciplinary jargon, facilitating intra-specialized discourse while obfuscating heterogenous interpretive accessibility and perpetuating a recursive dialectic of erudition and exclusion.

[Connor Ewing @ConnorMEwing]

Me to myself after reading the reviewer reports on my article manuscript

[Prof. Roary Snider @RESnider]

@JudgeDillard As a business professor, I couldn’t agree more. @utulsa has a strong liberal arts core while also offering students the ability to major in engineering, computer science, health sciences, and business (in addition to our great liberal arts programs). This is how it should be.
