1.) Firms really *do* have control over safety hazards in the workplace. They can mandate helmets, install emergency stop buttons, etc. Firms that are randomized into receiving OSHA inspections see a decline in injuries over the next 5 years. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…
People may differ on optimal protest tactics, but I think a good rule of thumb is you should behave in a manner that is clearly distinguishable from the way that paid plants from your adversaries would act in an effort to discredit you
Not letting negative polarization cloud your judgement is probably one of the more important skills you can have online these days
Lot of takes floating around about what is motivating student protestors (loneliness, peer pressure, trying to be trendy?) My take: protestors are primarily motivated by concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza

The blog post concedes that industrial policy is appropriate in a sector like semiconductors but the prescription - R&D first - is failed economic orthodoxy. @vebaccount and I laid out why that was the case for semiconductors already: employamerica.org/researchreport…

@jdcmedlock Negative polarization is unironically increasing my sympathy for the cringe protestors
@jdcmedlock Sabotage works best when it looks like incompetence.
Thanks, @JTomMueller. ☺️ I confess that I'm really proud of the work in this book, its advancement of a monthly poverty measure, the use of atypical data to make sense of 2020-22, the care given to policy takeaways, and more. I hope you and others who read it will find it useful.
I am late to the party, but excited to read @ZParolin’s recent book!
Legit question for festival organizers - How do I get rid of the 30-50 hotdog vendors that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?

Experience rating in unemployment insurance was directly modeled after the workers' compensation program. I'd argue inappropriately.
Hey folks, I have a new big paper up at @NiskanenCenter. It's about the weird way that the USA finances our unemployment insurance system and how it is RUINING THE LABOR MARKET.
1.) Firms really *do* have control over safety hazards in the workplace. They can mandate helmets, install emergency stop buttons, etc. Firms that are randomized into receiving OSHA inspections see a decline in injuries over the next 5 years. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…
"The prevention theory assumes unemployment to be an individual responsibility. Its primary source is traced to faulty management." "The relief theory, on the other hand...traces the source of unemployment to faulty economic institutions."

Agree with the WSJ editorial board that a coordinated minimum tax on the super-rich may well happen As for the rest…. 💕
Oh, and the best part: Amazon's preferred station would have a lot less riders, be further from offices and homes and shops, and would just overall undermine the effectiveness of the system. All because they're cranky about a few years of construction impacts to drivers.
Amazon and the local chamber of commerce want to spend $500M of public money and further delay passenger rail by another year just to get their way in the location of an SLU station. They really do believe they can just dictate public policy whenever they like.
Options being pushed by biz groups that would shift the location of South Lake Union's two light rail stations to avoid traffic disruption would cost at least $500M in lost time, delay light rail delivery, and cost riders. Will the board blink? Story: theurbanist.org/2024/04/29/stu…
@jdcmedlock @Gramgra96155053 Heartily agreed! But I think meaningful police reform in America is completely DOA unless we bust the current unions and keep 'em busted for quite a while
@BGM_22 @jdcmedlock There is no group of employees who don’t deserve the benefit of collective bargaining. Not all public sector unions are police unions - and even then police officers and department staff deserve the right to organize and protect their employment rights.
@Gramgra96155053 @jdcmedlock I don't actually disagree, I just think "do they deserve the right?" is the wrong framework. Yes they deserve that right. But is it good for society if police organize to collectively bargain and protect their employment rights? Based on the available evidence, I'd say no.
@jdcmedlock Literally just wanting to kill union members en mass and thinks getting paid is a 'privilege'.
@jdcmedlock also there’s usually a handful of respected calm-headed yet brave people within a protest group that most in the group would agree to being monitors who will confront the window-smashers. but they need support too, they can’t do it alone.
