Another thing we need better language for is “your boss will learn to treat you better in a thousand little ways when the labor market is tight and the reverse is true when the labor market is loose.”
For the trolls: You are witnessing several counts of battery and or assault. Those are crimes. Don’t do crimes. “ I was severely or grossly inconvenienced” is not a defense to battery or assault.

2K Followers 884 Following Policy Analyst @ppi’s Center for Funding America’s Future - @CNLiberalism Steering Committee - bed nets & markets are good, & we need more housing - Views mineAlso not to be crude but I weirdly feel like “tight” and “loose” are implicitly sexual in a way that make them awkward words for Official Economics Discourse BUT that would make them very effective for Daily Show style popular political communication.
Another thing we need better language for is “your boss will learn to treat you better in a thousand little ways when the labor market is tight and the reverse is true when the labor market is loose.”
In particular, if we could have a catchy, one-word term or even acronym that means “wage growth as a percentage of productivity growth” I think that would do much good for American economic discourse and someone on this here website probably has invented or will invent it.
How do we fix this? Vibes. Or more specifically, we need a set of tools for elite communication (news, podcasts, teacher training) around wage growth, productivity growth, labor market conditions, and inequality that is as meme-able as inflation.
Particularly bc as he points out in his piece, it is *imperative* that voters not punish pols for inflation more than they reward pols for wage growth. Otherwise, pols will continue to understimulate the economy, which benefits no one and if anything tends to increase inequality.

So close! This is actually an upperclass elective for math majors!
What's happening here is the same as with California and "data science". Educators assume some kids are naturally incapable of learning actual math, so they create an alternative class for those kids to satisfy the math requirement. It's IQism, masquerading as wokeness.

Going down a rabbithole on quipus, which I'd learned were an Incan way of keeping numerical records w/ knots. Apparently this is an oversimplification & they also used colors to signify data relationships w/in and between quipus and could also encode labels, not just quantities.

The First Amendment only constrains state actors, Andrew. You know who’s not a state actor? Bank of America. You know who is? The Missouri Attorney General.
Proud to be one of 15 AGs demanding answers from Bank of America for reportedly debanking Missourians. If any company is punishing consumers because of their political beliefs, that may constitute a serious violation of the First Amendment. We will get to the bottom of it.
