Why has US productivity outperformed since COVID?

One big reason is that Americans are doing different jobs than in 2019—the COVID shock and strong labor demand reallocated millions of workers, with employment in high-wage industries rising 8.3% vs 3.4% in low-wage industries

According to my rough guesswork and envelope math, printing the entire English text of Wikipedia onto clay tablets might cost $10-30 million, and occupy 4000 cubic meters when done. I think it's feasible.

@JosephPolitano Seems like more of a move toward "not what we have right now" vs a reaction to particular policies or messages. Seems also true of the 2020 election, tbh

Just insane that America had the best productivity growth of comparable major nations in the years pre-COVID, then went "hold my beer" post-COVID and had ~double the productivity growth of the next-closest country

News about AI may sometimes be misleading, but TechCongress alums B Cavello & Eleanor Tursman @AspenInstitute hope to combat this, starting with media literacy. 🔍

Mini update: The furor at the WaPo is such that its chief tech officer is getting engineers to block Qs about its decision to not make an endorsement pm the Post's own AI site search,

This according to internal WP correspondence I've reviewed

President Biden's formal apology is a historic first step towards justice and healing for Native peoples. The federal government has never apologized for what happened to Native children and acknowledged the impact boarding schools continue to have in our communities.
