And for public services, you need public employees. After the financial crisis of 2010, most countries cut back on employee compensation. Most countries also reinvested in the years after. But not Italy and Greece. 🇮🇹 🇬🇷

I'm excited to release the 𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 for #RStats ! Convert R dataframes to beautiful tables in HTML, LaTeX, PDF, Quarto, Markdown, etc. Easy to learn; minimalist interface; concise syntax; ultra-customizable tables; and zero dependency. vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/
We developed an #Rstats API interface for the databases of the Flemish parliament. A fantastic resource for textual analysis research.
