@okuchap @UWBusiness @UWMadison We’re super excited to have you, and I have no doubt you will produce many interesting and valuable things!

@jt_kerwin These are very nice! I even go as far as to take the outline off the top. As an audience member, I have only ever used that as a source of anxiety about the presenter's time management!

I import way more data into Stata than I export and I’m sick getting ripped off.

The problem was that the “conversation” was mostly about how much people hated paper straws.

This high salience, low impact policy is the exact opposite of what we should have done.

Instead replace grid generation with renewables. Nobody inconvenienced and huge impact.

Rising health care prices are passed onto employers as higher insurance premiums.

The result? ⬇️ employment ⬇️ wages ⬇️ tax revenue ⬆️ overdoses

@Jabaluck There is an updated version on Steam called "Two Point Hospital" that is functionally the same, with some added content (including the ability to adjust prices!)

[Stuart Craig @stuartcraig]

This is also reminding me ~7th-grade me used to play a Sims/Theme Park style game called "Theme Hospital" in which you build/manage a system of hospitals in the UK https://t.co/ZSPoyro3tA

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

@vini_singh_ that they do it best, but I'm being cheeky because my sense is that you meant "best" from the perspective of consumer benefit

@Jabaluck Also, it seems worthwhile to ask how we know if high prices provide an *efficient* level of innovation/quality. I'm aware of good papers showing that there *is* a gradient. But under cost sharing it's less obvious whether we're over/under-shooting those dynamic incentives

[Stuart Craig @stuartcraig]

@Jabaluck no expectations — just wanted to connect on it :)
