Econ teachers check out this new game by @MarketPowerYT at mapgdp.com/ I'm going to try it out on the projector for my next class. Students can guess GDP per capita based on pictures pulled from Google maps.

So many people following the invocation to "love thy neighbour as thyself", and who have absorbed the spirit of "You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person.

In 2012 B.C.’s regulator blocked Uber, labeling it a “$75‑minimum limo.” For 7 years Vancouver was a big North‑American city with no ride‑hailing—an economist’s natural experiment. 2/12
