A short primer on capital taxation, the most progressive type of taxation we have:

There was some talk that Elon Musk becoming a conservative culture warrior might polarize the right into supporting electric cars. So far doesn't seem like that's happening (but he has managed to piss off his lib potential customers)

I've often said we should take the "insurance" in "social insurance" seriously but not literally. Experience rating in UI is an example of taking it way too literally. We should just do normal employer taxes and not have the UI system cosplay as car insurance

Really interesting paper. In this case, union set wages would be much more impactful than minimum wages

In many years time when you look back on your behaviour, a lot of you are gonna feel very proud that you identified the real problem with the current moment (students taking up too much space on campus lawns) and spent your time moralising about that. Good job.

Ok nerds, let’s talk triangle weighting. A lot of people (well, two…) have asked my why March core PCE inflation came in as expected at 0.3%, when that was the expectation *before* the GDP report came out with the higher-than-expected core rate for Q1. After all…
they should exempt low income people from congestion pricing, and as a quick and dirty asset test with low administrative burdens they should determine income by whether or not they have a car
@jdcmedlock this post made me curious how cemented this event is in the public record. the answer is: very 😭
WSJ ed. board on noncompetes: "The FTC says such agreements “restrict the freedom of American workers and suppress wages” and “stifle new businesses and new ideas.” Disregarding reams of evidence to the contrary..." Are the reams of evidence in the room with us right now?
Love the opener to this scam email. Might have to start using it in my professional communications.
This kind of discourse, in this case and more generally, is the enemy of solidarity.
