Economists think I’m a philosopher, while philosophers think I’m an economist. I’ve just been enjoying the schizophrenia.

This is a great case for work that @nyayacarya.bsky.social and Anmol Somanchi are doing on hoodwinking the public and administrative data
Both Texas and Georgia are destroying evidence of all maternal mortality, blocking proof that women are dying from abortion bans.

This story has a lot more going on than you think. Especially since Republicans are lying about the public cases.

Republicans don't care if women die from abortion bans — but they don't want you to know about it
Women will keep dying, but the GOP is working hard to destroy the evidence
