Home heating subsidies are the subject of a case in my policy analysis and planning book.😉 Importantly, you fill up your oil tank all at once. Ballpark that at a $1500 cost in mid-Oct. And you hope you get to Feb. on that (but you don't). Vivid memories of this as a homeowner in Upstate NY. 😔

Editors of journals published by Taylor & Francis - hi! - may be alarmed to learn there is an emerging view T&F will get bought by private equity after Informa announced it's dropping it. And we know what private equity does to its acquisitions. Guts them. As if academic publishing wasn't bad enough

Thank you for writing this. As a Cornell alum I received the university’s email tonight. This is world class administrative incompetence. And in the current context that is saying something.

Indeed. This has become so very tedious. Looking forward to a world where NYT gives researchers credit for their work but I expect I will continue to be disappointed. 😔 And of course the LLMs they use delink knowledge from the author 1/2 the time so this will get even worse.

Question 2: What does the NYT think a dockworker is? A dockworker usually = longshoreman. Do they mean loading dock? Like a fork lift operator? A very different occupation, very different payscale and benefits portfolio. I mean, we are talking about public subsidies to families, right? 🤷‍♀️ 3/4

Thank you for this. My mother also survived polio but not without complications that followed throughout her life. Survivors guilt was just one of the shadows. She would be horrified to see today’s vaccine deniers blithely condemning children to disease and disability and preventable death.

I don’t want to tell people how to do their jobs but if you work at a university and don’t know why faculty join professional academic associations you may be missing some basics. Are they really asking every faculty member to ✍️ a justification for every membership fee? 🤦‍♀️
