@Delta @KoreanAir yall have to sort this out. I’m literally trying to pay more.

I had a student just put “Drake Maye is a dawg,” on the extra feedback section in the eval for one of my classes and while I agree with the sentiment I don’t know if it was valuable feedback for the class.

This morning, I am the Monday Morning Economist. Big thanks to Jadrian for humoring me on this piece and partnering on letting everyone know some Video Game Theory

One of the most popular video games of the year is also being called one of the “chillest” PvP shooters, which is not how this genre usually works. I teamed up with @EconTrudeau to explain why ARC Raiders looks like a game of hawks and doves. mondayeconomist.com/p/arc-raiders

Just hanging out in Montgomery, AL and thinking about @sheetz Pretty normal for a Monday.

@Copilot I've got a button for "Explain this in more detail" in Outlook. When I highlight a date and time, it would be so cool if you could say, "Do you want to put this on your calendar?" and you know, do that

Everything is economics.

This one probably isn’t getting a reply.

Auburn hosted a conversation with Matthew Mercer last week . I'm so sad because I am in driving distance and that is the kind of awesome academic thing I would love to attend. How does one stay plugged in to these types of events? cla.auburn.edu/news/articles/…

Occupational licensing boards don’t protect the public; they protect incumbents. Stacked with industry insiders, they block competition, raise prices, and hurt workers. The long term fix, says @sslivinski, is to end licensing laws. The short term fix? End licensing boards. cato.org/briefing-paper…

#newbookday Bought on a whim and am so excited to read more of this because it’s so well written. I think I might can knock this out in a weekend.

@megane_mother In overall improvement I think that has to go to West Virginia, South Dakota, and Puerto Rico who all enacted Universal Licensing Recognition. Texas also passed a number of bills to help with their licensing burden.

It's SOLI Release Day aka the day I get to share what we've been able to achieve on this project over the last year. As always, amazing thanks to the Archbridge Institute for giving this project a home.

All the students did a great job and I got so many varied interviewees from bosses, to parents, to local business owners. Many responses varied from free market to protectionist, but this one hit me differently from the rest.

I asked my online Intl Econ students to interview someone they know about their feelings on tariffs. One of my students interviewed their partner's mother, who was quoted as saying, "I've been here long enough to know that jobs come and go, but those high prices stick around."

@bria_sullivan @hankgreen is there a particular reason why the orange kit-ney beam looks like it only has one brain cell? Because it’s pretty on brand.

Guess what I’m doing in class today, wrong answers only

Thanks to a colleague asking me if I had a website I have done my semi-yearly (?) update of everything there including CV, teaching resources, and added a photo of our new kitten. One day I may even replace my 2018 headshot. noahtrudeau.com
