Projecting Confidence: How the Probabilistic Horse Race Confuses and Demobilizes the Public | The Journal of Politics: Vol 82, No 4 journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…
I discussed the pathological potential of horse race election predictions a little ways back
Included in the shortfall was $25m for a "COVID-ready campus"
To mitigate shortfall we had salary reductions of $14m
So CUB staff paid for the "Covid-ready campus" out of our salaries
Not that it failed, do we get our money back?
Had CUB simply started off online on Aug 24 rather than going online Sept 21 no campus employee would have needed to take a salary cut & campus would still have had an extra $11m as a buffer against enrollment declines

I addressed the policy implications of the asymmetry in timing of climate policy costs and benefits in a 2007 paper: "THE CASE FOR A SUSTAINABLE CLIMATE POLICY: WHY COSTS AND BENEFITS MUST BE TEMPORALLY BALANCED" sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/admin/publicat…
In their new paper @KenCaldeira et al rightly observe: "One way to potentially overcome some of the above barriers would be to emphasize the air-quality co-benefits of climate change mitigation"
