@ben_golub Whenever these schools gain resources, they always expand on the intensive margin.

@itaisher I look forward to discussing this while I share his sandwich...or does he not feel like cooperating with my lunch plans?

@danielluo_pi Why is it a pro not to have Northwestern mentioned?

[Mark Witte @witteecon]

@KiraboJackson @JoshuaPStarr I wish I'd have heard about the freezer trick.

@KiraboJackson @JoshuaPStarr When I was a graduate student, my apartment had a fire. My backups burned. Also my computer died.

@k_sonin Elections can be stolen ex post (by messing with vote totals) or ex ante (by denying people the ability to vote). That second avenue has been the source of a lot of attention in recent election cycles.

[Mark Witte @witteecon]

@k_sonin How do we know that the Electoral System worked in past elections? Do we know that Florida wasn't stolen in 1876, Illinois/Texas in 1960, or Florida in 2000?

@benconomics If we're going to go for increased tax revenue, that will come with costs. I'm guessing the DWL from these revenues is less than from increasing tax rates.

@Timodc That many motorcycle police does seem excessive. I'm sure with just three or four officers they could have prevented The suspect from initiating any further crimes.

@JamesSurowiecki For this reason, a Democrat hasn't appointed the Chief Justice since *1946.*

[Mark Witte @witteecon]

@JamesSurowiecki There is an element of chance to the membership of the Supreme Court, but the bigger problem is that the current system effectively grants ownership of a seat to its current member, who can choose to step down once an acceptable replacement is picked, as with Kennedy to Kavanaugh

@m_battaglini This makes me think of Thomas Schelling's multiplayer prisoner's dilemma model.

@Jeffely If it were target shooting and the person missed every shot.... If the questions were of the form, "3 + 4 = 7" or "4 + 2 = 10"....
