How soon before folks are going on Apple vacations? A trip to Europe. Pick up iPhones, iPads, watches, MacBooks.

This tweet here is wrong. The elasticity in question measures the response of *import prices* to a tariff, not import quantities. The Trump admin cited a paper and used the wrong elasticity. That is what my colleagues pointed out and corrected. x.com/carney/status/…

Small pet peeve, @jim_newell. Carpetbaggers were Norther reformers who travelled south during Reconstruction to help newly freed, formerly enslaved people. To use carpetbagger as a slur, even to reflect other people's sentiment, is to miss how using it as a slur is kinda racist.

Lowering speed limits is great, but if your 85th percentile speed is higher than your speed limit, you’ve got some design debt to pay off, too.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath fastcompany.com/3062989/50-rea…

The way the Globe has covered the tax debate has been so deeply reactionary. MA does not suffer form a problem of taxes. We suffer from a problem of low investment in public goods. And it's doing the bidding of the rich to pretend otherwise. #mapoli bostonglobe.com/2023/09/22/met…

Engine 6 enthusiastically endorses Dan Gaynor (Ward 2) and Martha Bixby (Ward6) in tomorrow's Newton preliminary elections. Gaynor and Bixby understand that for Newton to be a truly welcoming and diverse community, we need more housing, both market-rate and aﬀordable.

Curious that outlets reporting the boat crash in Dennis that killed Sadie Mauro is now a criminal investigation are not reporting who owns the boat, though nearly every report notes that it had two 250-hp engines and was registered in Alabama.
