Shoutout to everyone who's going to get to spend Thanksgiving fixing their code so it doesn't break when it hits an NA for October.
BREAKING: BLS says it will not publish an October CPI. November CPI will be delayed to Dec. 18, meaning too late for the FOMC meeting the previous week. #NumbersDay #EconSky

This is propaganda and the fact it is associated with the economics profession is abhorrent. BLS is staffed by dedicated public servants who only report the data, whoever is running the DOL Twitter account is something else entirely.
I take it there are no economists working at the Department of Labor...

“Nvidia Gives Strong Forecast, Countering Fears of AI Bubble”
I very much disagree with this framing. People buying lots of Nvidia GPUs tells us nothing about the eventual ROI on those GPUs.
In fact, a bubble effectively <requires> “too many” of these to be bought.

In the last decades, the world has made fantastic progress against extreme poverty. In 1990, 2.3 billion people lived in extreme poverty. Since then, the number of extremely poor people has declined by 1.5 *billion* people. 🧵

People have been saying "past immigration was good, but immigrants today aren't the same" for a very long time. For example, this is from Grover Cleveland's veto of a 1897 bill that would have imposed a literacy test on new immigrants:

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

KFF's estimate that out-of-pocket ACA premiums will increase if enhanced tax credits expire by an average of 114% has been widely reported. But, it varies a lot, especially by income. Here's what increases look like in dollar terms -- from $378 at $18,000 to $1,836 at $45,000.

Same goes for bureaucrats in senior roles. CEO of the MTA (which moves more people every day than every domestic airline combined) makes only $365K
meanwhile, the united airlines CEO made $33 MILLION last year. makes it extremely difficult for the govt to get top talent other than noblesse oblige

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.
