Map of land value in the US, high resolution. One interesting thing this shows is why LA, Vegas, Phoenix, and SLC will need to densify in order to build new housing - they're nearly completely hemmed in by federal land.
how good is Seattle's pitching? the Mariners hit .175/.232/.358 with a 35% strikeout rate over the last week and went 5-2

Total employment in the child care sector had made back its pandemic-era losses by Feb 2023, and continues to trend upwards despite hitting the "child care cliff" last summer - though it looks like monthly growth might be starting to level off
Big shift underway in America’s economic geography: The most affluent metro areas are no longer creating the majority of new jobs.
"Kids today are having less sex and doing fewer drugs and drinking less underage, and that is a good thing" is one of those opinions that should be a totally normie conservative take but some days I feel like it's just me and @CharlesFLehman

America, we have a problem. According to the government's own data, individual homebuyers have outmuscled investors over the last eight years-- gaining market share and pushing up the homeownership rate to some of the highest levels in history outside of the bubble / GFC years.…
I’m thrilled to see both @washingtonpost and @voxdotcom published stories digging into the Wild West of the fertility industry. Despite many bold promises to women, egg freezing fails many while negligence in IVF is rarely publicly or legally addressed. Women deserve better!

In practice, the key policies are: 1) Build lots of family-sized houses in family-friendly neighborhoods at prices affordable to a 25-year-old's wages 2) Increase a 25-year-old's wages by compressing their training timeline 3) Increase direct financial transfers to families 4)…

These protesters are unbearably pompous, calling their request to be fed in the building where they have been trespassing for several hours a call for “basic humanitarian aid” and asking “do you want students to die of dehydration or starvation?”
Tariffs are taxes on imports. They make those goods more expensive. When normal people complain about inflation, they are complaining about a good they're used to costing X dollars now costing more. Tariffs are inflationary in the way regular people talk about inflation. 1/2
Notable: Trump recommits to a 10% tariff on all goods imported into the US, and suggests it may be higher than that. He argues its not inflationary. But most mainstream economists say tariffs amount to a tax on consumers who end up paying higher prices time.com/6972022/donald…
@DonFSchneider As a former Biden Administration economist, all I can say to tariff advocates who want to argue to consumers that "actually this is not inflationary because strictly speaking this is a price level adjustment" is: Good luck with that!
@LeahLibresco in @tnajournal: "IVF relies on treating the embryos it creates, freezes, and often discards as Schrödinger’s persons: we cannot make a moral pronouncement about what they are until we know whether they’re intended for life or death." thenewatlantis.com/publications/e…
@AP So New Orleans added 1,000 daycare slots, but also mandated significant raises for child care workers and limited class sizes. Meaning they raised prices across-the-board and then subsidized that cost for a small group of lucky families. I bet the day cares wrote the bill.
Excellent conversation with @BernerEd about her important new book on education pluralism. School choice done right, with rigorous curriculum and accountability, needs to become the norm in the United States.
What's the difference between "exposure" and "indoctrination" in the school context? Other democracies fund a wide variety of schools and require common content. It works. @AmerCompass @JHUeducation podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
This is so good, and actually applies to many, many other situations besides questions about church teaching. Leah Libresco Sargeant at firstthings.com/web-exclusives…
@PTBwrites @oren_cass Tariffs will affect relative prices (i.e. prices of imports relative to prices of domestically produced goods). Maybe that will pop up in a few months of price level data, but that won't cause the general price level to increase (at least not very much).
When IVF makes promises to prospective parents, it leans on images of cherub-cheeked babies. But when something goes wrong, the industry quickly retreats to the language of cells and property. IVF treats the embryos it creates, freezes, and often discards as Schrödinger’s persons
@mrozekandrea @PTBwrites i strongly approve of the pun. gallows humor reminds people of the existence of gallows.
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

@PTBwrites @lymanstoneky Canada already "maid" it's choice :(
anyways if you think immigration is the solution canadian euthanasia policy alongside high migration would very much like a word
of course i hope boost birth rates, but i am a realist. i think the massacre of the olds is the most probable outcome.
Literally what are you people talking about? Kids cost a lot of money! In the US it costs $233,610 per child from birth to age 18, and that's just in raw $ terms - doesn't count opportunity cost.
Even more broadly, the "have four kids and never pay income tax" policy was always weird. Few Hungarian families of 6 will 1) earn enough to owe taxes in the first place after normal child tax deductions 2) have the mom earn so much that the payroll tax elimination is valuable
@PTBwrites ChatGPT is just paperwork's way of making more paperwork.
