It looks like there’s been some downward revision. Googling now I also see 5.2. It was the strongest one I’ve felt before!

These seeds are meant to be planted before the annual rain season. But it’s been the driest winter in 150 years — since they started recording. So I still planted them now. Hopefully it will rain on Sunday 🌧️🌷🌻 and help put out some of the fires

lol Rahm Emmanuel went on about it on the Ezra Klein show again recently and I was like…. Dude. Not a winning strategy. Out of all the social media platforms I use, I see the *least* amount on TikTok. Like I made this yesterday with a TikTok recipe

idk, this is from the AEA and I doubt it'd be much different for other other journals, other than that the share of R, Julia, and Python has likely been growing over time 10.1257/pandp.110.764

I wonder if these kinds of tax breakdowns affect attitudes toward taxation, voting behavior and/or migration decisions by making regional taxes more salient.
