Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

Just like the 10-repeals-for-every-new-regulation EO, this 4-exits-for-every-new-hire EO does NOT guarantee improvements in efficiency. Like the buy-1-firework-get-15-free signs, dig just a little deeper & you’ll see it’s not the great deal the simple tag line would have you believe.

Holy forking shirt balls "Denial of a wanted abortion has both immediate and lasting effects. It increases a woman’s risk of death by 2.5 p.p within nine months, mainly due to unsafe abortion procedures, and raises the likelihood of carrying the pregnancy to term by 31 p.p. "

Fun to hear my colleague Michael Webber on On Point today doing his thing talking about energy and TX. He claims to be an engineer & policy guy but I think there might be an economist in there too. #econsky @npr.org www.npr.org/podcasts/510...

On Point

Let's make sense of the world – together. From the economy and health care to politics and the environment – and so much more – On Point host Meghna Chakrabarti speaks with newsmakers and real people ...

After so many examples I shouldn’t be surprised but still am when lobbyists convince politicians to make such foolish, not to mention costly, policy choices.

I was supposed to be back in LA today for the bar mitzvah of my son’s friend. Temple was in the evacuation zone until about 60 hours ago. Bar mitzvah took place today. Attended on Zoom (& cried through much of it in spite of not understanding Hebrew). The magic of LA has always been in community.

Feeling that post-conference high from connecting with colleagues, listening to innovative research, plotting new projects. Never gets old. #econsky #ASSA2025

Advice for 2025 (which I may regret offering)...If you mostly said no when invited to review a paper in 2024, then say yes more in 2025. If you mostly said yes when invited to review a paper in 2024, then say no more in 2025. Yes, even if I invite you! #econsky

Feel like this can't be true but tried to buy some canned NA cocktails this morning at Central Market. Check out associate said she couldn't sell them because it was before noon on a Sunday. TX blue laws can't possibly apply to NA drinks, can they? @texastribune.org @austinchronicle.bsky.social
