in good news, i’m teaching SRAS in macro principles this week 😇
the cool thing about F1 being only on apple tv now is that i’m just not going to watch it!
so hey, uh, what’s up with the warsh nomination process? we all just kinda moved on from it because of tillis’s blockade and now we’re just all hanging out i guess?
an entire administration only focused on gaining leverage to “win” whatever room they’re in and not thinking at all about the wider impacts lol
im obssessed with the persistence and innovation in coming up with new economic horrors each week, it’s really impressive!
it is so difficult to listen to miran talk
“some” is carrying a lot of weight in that title lol
finally allowed back on bluesky after the outage 😇🫡

im kinda obsessed with with idea of anthropocene being a radial left, woke company. such a funny concept to think about
THIS. we have a relatively small amount of economics majors at our school but a gigantic amount of minors who fill up all our upper level classes. routinely overenrolled.
yet somehow the convo is still about how we need to get more majors…
the snowbanks are so insane that my entire nissan sentra in the driveway is just gone. and it’s not even 9am lol
trying to imagine this taking place in like 2011 or something lol what a broken world we live in

*TRUMP SAYS HE HAS JUST SIGNED GLOBAL 10% TARIFF
This would be under Section 122, which allows tariffs up to 15% for 150 days to deal with balance of payments problems. A US trade deficit is a questionable application. But no way does it get to SCOTUS in 150 days. So this probably stays. 1/5
there’s no way companies are going to lower any prices after this though lol
Jokes aside on this, while this strikes down roughly 70% of the new tariffs, we expect Trump to switch to using different (more annoying for him) authorities for most of these, and we think those have a higher likelihood of surviving in court.
This is just the beginning of a very, very long battle.
they will find other ways to implement these but yay wahoo we celebrate in the meantime!!
i swear to god, i will burn bridges when the profession attempts to rehabilitate this clown after the trump admin. a clown!!!
His criticism is thick with irony given Hassett's May 5th prediction of covid deaths dropping to zero by mid-May 2020
one aspect of the epstein emails i can’t wrap my brain around (because im young and ageless) is everyone maintain long threads of conversation over EMAIL! either text me or call me but im not sending you more than two emails.
Our grasp on reality is slipping. The response rate to the survey behind the unemployment rate (and the rest of the household survey) is now lower than during the pandemic.
The decline in response rates during the first year of the Trump Admin 2.0 was larger than at any time outside the pandemic.
“please vary your answer placement randomly between A-D” okay so let’s say 95% are B, gotcha
genAI loves making B the answer to the multiple choice question
