Manchin is already using inflation as an excuse to delay BBB, which is stupid because BBB's spending is stretched out over a decade.

It's also stupid because spending on this level doesn't have much impact on inflation, the only option is for the Fed to signal rate raises.

Glad at least some parking in MV will no longer be 100% subsidized

Hey! That's me!

Powerful scene in Succession S03E03 depicting the coordination of law enforcement agencies, represented by the Arial FBI, the Franklin Gothic FBI, the Univers FBI, the Impact FBI, and even the Aachen FBI.

One of them isn't even Sans Serif!

There is a pretty astonishing divergence in the recovery in prime aged (25-54) labor force participation in the US & Canada. Both men and women in Canada are participating at record high rates. What is the best explanation of this?

I mean, it's only a 6 point difference, but how strange, right? I wonder what's causing that long-term divergence.

It's extremely depressing, though not all that surprising, that people will join an antiracist book club, read Rothstein's book about how we should reform land use regulations, and come away from it claiming they don't know what they're supposed to do.

(Psst, join YIMBY, reform land use regulations)

The Engish word "black" sounds like the French/Spanish/Italian words for "white" (blanc/blanco/bianco) because they both derive from the same proto-indo-european word "*bhel-" which was about burning β white for the light of the flame, black for the char left behind.
Whaaaa

Does college impact political beliefs? It is hard to tell, as family influences both college choice & politics.
To disentangle, this paper studies siblings where not all went to college & found "no statistically significant effects on overall political orientation" from college.

Once again, interesting experimental design!

Great job getting this done! I would say though that Iβve never met a parking payment experience I didnβt utterly hate. I wish Fastrak would offer an integration for local parking garages: scan on entry, scan on exit, charge the rate for the time in between, dispute resolution with cameras scanning license plates. I donβt want another app, ticket when you enter, pay when you exit, machines with no tap to pay, etc. Or even partner with the heinously bad Clipper system, at least youβd get a proliferation of cardholders more likely to use public transit.
Also on the point of the shuttle, I never used it because it always headed in the opposite direction from where I was to where I was going. Here an app based service would be essential: say βIβll like to be in downtown in the next half hour or by 2pm,β and the shuttle creates an on demand route that works like an Uber Pool, asking you to walk a few blocks to align with faster streets for pickup.
