Unless they think moving to a oligarchic type system (or something similar) favors incumbents that can use current resources to maintain advantages and extract more rent. Never works out long term when the fascist state eats all, but

I made fun of his style, in case that's any better.

In your original example you used Vermont as the "bluest, yet still purple" state. I just pointed out in the image Hawaii was more blue. As an aside, the color used in that image is #5E35FE which seems a bit blue, whatever that means. Closest named color is "MediumSlate Blue"

In the example you chose to show, quite blue. I'm just pointing to that slight irony in your first image.

I added to the OLS/TWFE_play_around shiny app the option to include heterogeneous dynamic treatment effects by cohort, and you can click a button to include the BJS estimator. cannoncloud.shinyapps.io/TWFE_OLS_Pla... Share your ugly TWFE plots

I created a shiny web tool to play around with OL/TWFE so you can teach how this stuff can get so screwy. You can mess with temporal and cohort heterogeneity, treatment timing, whether you have any controls, etc. Share your worst plots! #econsky cannoncloud.shinyapps.io/TWFE_OLS_Pla...

I made a helpful meme for all the economist running into various strains of econ-mumbo jumbo out there at the moment.

I was disappointed to hear Georgetown's yellow-bellied response to one if it's students, Badar Khan Suri, and employees illegal detention so I wrote a letter to interim President Groves demanding some backbone. I'm hoping fellow alumnus will as well. I'm happy to share a draft of what I sent.

Subjective, but -0.5 lets you fill in the 0 and 1 with multiple estimates from different models.

I used McCloskey a lot in a paper where I reviewed a bunch of big picture books, though I wasn't so convinced by her shtick either. Mainly I came away from that paper thinking the whole theory-of-all-growth books was not such a valuable exercise (besides for the authors).

So I looked at the data from 2000 to 2013 in the UN data, and I also see that decrease in resources, but the trend has completely reversed since then.
