🚨NEW RESULTS (w/ Slattery & Nober)
- When gov't engineers retire, highway projects cost more: the engineers pay for themselves 6 times over
- Improving gov’t engineer quality from the 25th to 75th percentile reduces costs by 14%, equal to 3x avg. engineer pay

Inflation rose by 22.6% from 2019-2024.
In that same period, the 100 lowest-paying corporations paid their CEOs 34.7% more.
Worker pay didn't even keep up with the rate of inflation.
Those corporate tax breaks will never, ever, ever trickle down.
WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.
