Hey #EconTwitter. My friend, Eunkyung van den Berghe @Eunkyun76246787 , completed a PhD in economics at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2020. She then took a few years off to have a family and is now looking to work part time. She's great. Reach out and retweet.

@rorynotsorry Taking taxes off very particular forms of compensation (overtime, tips, etc) is an absolutely terrible way to structure wage policies. I will say this regardless of partisan implications and which candidate says it.

@PeterIBanks Really interesting. Thanks for posting.

Midwestern cities are racial integration black holes.

I cried. So powerful.

youtube.com/watch?v=W2V76E…. Take a look at video that my son, Noah, and his friends made. Very fun.

it is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat

💫My first Op-ed!💫 With @mikekofoed, we discuss the significance of @PikaGoldin's Nobel-winning research and her tremendous influence on the profession.

We have a very special guest post from @MattGlassman312 on the Republican speakership crisis! This is the most thoughtful account I've seen anywhere on this issue so I hope you'll give it a read! natesilver.net/p/the-game-the…

Elon Musk is shadowbanning pro-Ukraine accounts. After @michaeldweiss post has proven even by Twitter official disclaimer that "every 3 hours this tweet has it's likes removed" and after in the last 1 month I saw a change in "top searches" tailored for me, where Liverpool FC (my favourite team) was more present than russian's illigal invasion, I am sure that pro-Ukrainian accouts are shadowbanned. There not much we can do. I do not want to leave the plaform to go into another one where is only an echochamber. I am here just to fight with the russian dissinformation, not to rehear my own thoughts in other people's posts. I am here to help, but for that i need your support. And I am here to learn, to educate myself. Leaving for another platform will not fix any of this problems. This is a reminder that when someone like @elonmusk has the gates to the "freedom of speech" and he does absplutely the opposite of what he calls himself, an absolutist, we as a society are in big trouble. My medium reach of posts regarding war, missinformation, analysis and Night Summaries was around 450.000 people. Let's see how far this post will reach. (Picture is for ilustrative purposes only, from when I was in Kharkiv Oblast, last year. It's a AFU tank, don't worry)

@paulgp @instrumenthull I'd like one if any are still available. Thanks.
