I’m making a rare Twitter appearance with some PROFESSIONAL NEWS: These are my last minutes until May in the Bloomberg newsroom, because on Monday I start the Knight-Wallace journalism fellowship at the University of Michigan wallacehouse.umich.edu/announcing-the… Luckily… (1/5)

Great to see me cited in @BSteverman's piece for Bloomberg @business on the current state of US wealth inequality! 👉bloomberg.com/news/articles/… If you want to read more about the race between the stock and the housing market see 👉macro-inequality-lab.net/wp-content/upl… #MacroInequalityLab

I’m back at Bloomberg in May 2024, and looking forward to doing many more stories like these. In the meantime, you can reach me in many ways, but I won’t be looking at my work email. xoxo (5/5/END)

And, my 2022 piece on the post-pandemic nightlife was singled out for an award from the NLGJA, the Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists. This is one of the topics I’m eager to explore further on my fellowship. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

fascinating @BSteverman on the two Nassaus, one in Florida, one in NY, and how their housing policies -- and therefore, qualities of life -- are diverging bloomberg.com/news/features/…

In which the SLA says NYC initiated a spate of nightclub raids, and then NYC says, no no, it was SLA... great reporting from @adlankj hellgatenyc.com/who-is-leading…

New from master sleuth @BSteverman and me: Sergey Brin has a new nonprofit around climate change and health, funded by some interestingly timed Tesla share sales 👀

Great sleuthing by ⁦@BSteverman⁩ & ⁦@bizcarson⁩ on the Google cofounder’s new half-billion dollar charity-and-influence fund. It’s wild that it takes this kind of digging to know what the rich and powerful are up to… bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Excellent @BSteverman story that personalizes the faceless "villains" at the IRS who have a way harder job than I ever realized

“It’s down to 84,000 (almost all unarmed) workers, a loss of 10,000 employees since 2010 and about the same as in 1974, when the US had 120 million fewer people and an economy a quarter of its current size.” bloomberg.com/news/features/… @BSteverman @BW

Biden's $80B IRS plan means that doing your taxes could get a lot easier. W/ @BSteverman bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

NEW: Key R donors + political groups keep backing away from Trump to try to make room for a fresh GOP standard bearer ahead of 2024 w/@laurapdavison, @JenniferJJacobs: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

SCOOP: George Santos told some potential donors he was a producer on the Broadway Spider-Man Musical. Turns out, that wasn't the case. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Biden is investing taxpayer billions to take on the world in green tech, semi conductors & other indus of the future. But he won’t get far without people, and the US workforce is shrinking by the day @sdonnan @kearney_melissa @bsteverman bloom.bg/4086CQj

“If I’ll be making $24 an hour but daycare is $25 an hour, why am I going back to work? I feel pushed out of the workforce.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @wealth by @BSteverman

.@BSteverman's story on the 2.6 million missing people from the US labor force is currently dominating the conversation on r/Economics. Impressive considering there's quite a lot of takes on where the economy is going these days! reddit.com/r/Economics/co…
