"I am 19 years old and I am from Bangladesh. I have been here in Maldives for 5 years now. I was first brought here to work in a shop in Male'.

My boss promised to give me $230 but he only gave me $130 and I was not treated well during that time.
I struggled for many years under him and since he had my passport my freedom was literally in his hands.

My mother back home still waits for me every day and I keep telling her that I’ll come back soon. I have to lie to her because I don’t want her to worry about me.
My boss at the gaadiya takes care of me very well. She said that she will try to help me get my freedom even until her last breath."

1. (Thread): Here is a tweet summary of our paper on wealth taxation: “Use It or Lose it: Efficiency Gains from Wealth Taxation”: bit.ly/2k46stT
Along the way, I discuss some qualifications, and clarify a few things.
2. Our bottom line result is that wealth taxation is preferable to capital income taxation for several reasons. It improves aggregate productivity, reduces some key types of inequality, and raises welfare for a large majority of households.
3. Key feature of wealth taxes that delivers these results is “use-it-or-lose-it” effect (hence the title), which is a powerful mechanism that reallocates wealth to improve aggregate efficiency/productivity. It emerges from a combination of two features/assumptions:

ok it's apparently a twitterfic time y'all.
"How is he today?" Thanisson asks Mitaka as he approaches the bridge.
Mitaka shudders. "I don't get paid enough for this shit."
Thanisson winces.
"That bad?"
"Klaud's gone."
"No."
"Yes."
"Oh god."

What girl?
The question had haunted him for years now, from the first moment he'd destroyed the room around Mitaka with his lightsaber--he probably still owes Mitaka an apology bouquet for that. But also it might be tacky if he were to send it this late.

I’m not sure what magic caused this to appear in my timeline but it gave me a nudge at a point where I really needed a nudge (or maybe a good hard shove). It also spoke to a core fear: that I’d get there and nobody would believe me. How can this be a problem now at 48?
But of course it wasn’t just now - it’s been at least since university DVD probably before. It was just never noticed because I could gut through things and was basically quiet. The more I read about ADHD, the more things made sense.
So anyway, I went in yesterday. I had bad allergies as a cover story in case I lost my nerve. But they listened to me and now I’m going back next week to see where it goes.

Good morning. Big day for folks who follow education politics and policy. We have DeVos testifying before the House Ed Labor Cmte regarding the administration's ed priorities, which is sure to be a bit contentious. AND Sens. Alexander and Murray will hold another #HEA hearing.
You can watch DeVos here:

I recently just realized that the concluding part of Ayinde Barrister’s Agbara Iku medley is a song about the 1851 British bombardment of Lagos. An unforgettable event that shaped colonial engagement in Nigeria.
How did fun loving Lagosians become embroiled in a staggering battle with the British Navy?
Here's the short version history of Lagos: migrant fishing peoples first settled there, followed by a number of Awori from Isheri. A group of them settled at what is now Ebute Metta. There they established two settlements, Oto and Iddo, and soon attracted fresh migration

In honor of baby Jesus & his family of refugees/immigrants, here are a 20 quick points to remember the next time a loved one at the holiday party tries to make you fear the "illegals."

1. If US politiicians really wanted undocumented immigration to end, they'd start locking up the Americans who hire them. The demand for undocumented labor would swiftly end. They never talk about that. There's a giant "Help Wanted" sign at our border and it's not coming down.
2. The majority of undocumented immigrants are people who overstay their visas, not illegal border crossings. Politicians don't talk about this.
