I'm starting to think that the stock market is not a big fan of these tariffs.

FSA is having a free virtual conference December 3-6 to discuss federal student aid. It looks like there will be discussions about policy, accountability, and cyber security among many others. If you are interested, check it out here: fsapartners.ed.gov/training/fed...

1/ I recently post that the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is hiring economists. If you are like me in grad school, you might not know who GAO is, what kind of topics we work on, or what an economist at GAO does. This thread answers these questions and provides examples of my work.

I had an optional meeting today that I was interested in attending, but when I saw that the agenda started off with everyone sharing what they are thankful for, I was suddenly too busy to attend. #Introvert

Wore my #AvengersEndgame Quantum Suit to see Ant-Man in #AvengersCampus last year. It was such a simpler time. 🐜🐜🐜

#captainhook #disneybound Never smile at a crocodile … 🐊⏰🏴‍☠️🥴

Patti is wearing tall black boots, pale red shorts, a belt with a round buckle, a white shirt with several cascading ruffles, a red fedora with a white feather, and a vibrant red leather coat that tapers from short in the back to longer in the front. She has tossed the long fabric behind her, making the long red fabric stream and float like ribbons in the still image. Her brown curly hair is shoulder length and she is wearing red lipstick and black winged eyeliner. She is standing in front of a brick wall onto which a map of Neverland has been digitally added. Her Disneybound outfit is reminiscent of the villain Captain Hook from the Disney animated classic Peter Pan.

My house is giving out full-sized candy bars, Pokémon cards, and basketball cards for Halloween. So far we have had one group of 2 people show up. Still kind of early.
