Look at what happened to divorce rates in Mexico when some areas extended the school day by 3.5 hours!

Why did divorce rates go up as a result of the change?

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing

As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements

This is a big deal
August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

How do you power an advanced civilization that spans a solar system or beyond? One idea: Build around your star itself.

The Dyson sphere is a concept for a megastructure designed to surround a star and capture a significant portion of its energy output. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)
A glowing star surrounded by a spherical, grid-like structure, representing a Dyson sphere concept, against a starry backdrop. Text says: What could a society achieve if it was powered by the stars themselves? A Dyson sphere refers to the hypothetical idea that spacefaring civilizations may create large energy harvesting structures around their stars.
