One of my students just sent me a note saying that by sitting in my Intro to Econ class they "finally found a topic that involves the introspective nature of the humanities with the logic-based analysis of more math-based fields," and I have never felt more seen.



Talked to easily a few hundred voters this year — many working class — and the precision with which some people could tell me how much a pound of steak, carton of eggs, gallon of milk had gone up (not to mention the price of rent) tells a very different story.


Incredible conversations, feedback, and fall colors at #LACDEV 2024. Thanks to all the participants and especially to the organizers, @susan_godlonton @OwenOzier @PJakiela.
