turbolib @megalib.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Unions, like single-member geographic districts, are 19th century social technology.

Reposted by turbolibAustin Clemens @austinclemens2.bsky.social · 14/04/2026This is the fundamental problem with what @gelliottmorris.com is doing, imo. There was very high inflation in the 80s and people did not react as they did post Covid. Look at the replication below that trains on 1979 forward, predicts on 2020 forward. Excess PCE is no longer a good predictor! 3476
