Well it's labor day, which mean's NFL pre season is about to end and the regular season is about to start. Excited time. Also a good time to recognize the related research of two great students on the market this year from University of Oregon. Emily Arnesen and Kyu Matsuzawa.

Gino's case against us has been dismissed. Scientists cannot effectively sue other scientists for exposing fraud/errors in their work. Those who work to correct the scientific record can sleep better tonight. Those who don’t want it corrected, well, I don’t care how they sleep.

Our epic study is finally out! Low-income families received food ingredients and recipes to prepare healthy meals for a period of 3 months. This resulted in a long-term decrease in children’s body mass index (but no change for parents!). journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10.10…

Apropos of nothing, here is a problem set question from one of my undergrad econometrics courses

I learned long ago that every successful business person who claimed they could run the government better didn’t understand that the goal of their firm was profit maximization but the goal of government is welfare maximization. It’s apples to oranges.

Nate Silver We may be deporting legal residents to Salvadorean torture camps for having 'I Love Mom' tattoos, and the president may be considering invading our neighbors, and he might violate the constitution to run for office a third time. But hey! At least the economy is also tanking!

This isn't a recipe for a white ethnostate. It's a recipe for a complete Democratic victory. 😂

Undergraduates: we want low stakes assignments, to retake our exams, and to pick which assignments we want to do Also undergraduates: we are ready for jobs, please talk to us about how to prepare We have got to move on from pandemic attitudes about learning.
