Yay! Paul has done great work, but I'm especially pleased to see Bill get this hugely deserved honor -- because he was my original economics mentor 1/ nytimes.com/2018/10/08/bus…

This is a mostly good summary of interesting papers presented at the ASSA meetings -- but tellingly misrepresents what the paper by @ojblanchard1 actually said 1/ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Here's how the authors put it: 2/
But if you read the actual paper, it doesn't say anything like "debt is bad but not catastrophic". It notes that in simple models a situation like the one we're in, in which interest rates are below growth rates, is one in which debt is actually good 3/ aeaweb.org/aea/2019confer…

I was sort of startled by how much reaction this piece on top tax rates got; most of it positive, but the negative reactions were revealing 1/ nytimes.com/2019/01/05/opi…
Not surprisingly, most of the pushback came from the right, where I got a fair number of complaints that the government has no right to tax away income that people have earned. Worth thinking about that: isn't it an argument against any taxation at all? 2/
Or if you admit that we need a government, maybe it's an argument against any kind of progressive taxation (and also against any social safety net). And that's a coherent point of view -- but one the public overwhelmingly rejects 3/ pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017…

NE02, final. Bacon 51, Eastman 42
A good result for Republicans, though not a huge surprise in a lean Rep. district. Still, this could have been a top race and it doesn't look like one.
nytimes.com/interactive/20…
As an aside, I believe this is the first race where Republicans have beaten @Redistrict expectations in 12 days, and they only did it by a net-2 points
Washington 8, final. Schrier (D) 46, Rossi (R) 45
America's greatest district posts our second closest result yet, trailing only Kentucky 6

🔞 Minjoon thread fic: sugar daddy/mafia au where Jimin has given Namjoon all he wants but has never laid a finger on him....tonight that's ALL Namjoon wants 🔞
It has become a normal routine for him now. He packs his things after his study session and leaves his dorm for the weekend. It’s the usual black car that picks him up, one that parks away from the streetlight and is hidden to eyes other than his own.
There’s a chill in the air and he thinks maybe he should have worn a heavier coat rather than the old scarf he’s had since he was in high school. He already knows that Jimin is going to scold him, ask him why he wasn’t wearing one of the furry expensive coats he bought him, or

Hello @ynagNG

Thanks for having me today.

I apologize for having to postpone this session for two hours.

It was due to circumstances beyond my control.

Let’s start with Youth Inclusion and it’s definition

#YnagOsogbo
There has been a wave of demands and activism in demanding that there is more inclusiveness for Minority groups in the politics of our continent especially in Nigeria

I think it’s important to define what we mean when we say we want inclusiveness

#YnagOsogbo
This is because a lot of people (including young people) have misunderstood (for various reasons) what we say we want and misconstrued it for #YouthTakeOver

They are two different things.
