Yes, we considered interviewing President Levine, but were focusing on public universities. I was a freshman there your senior year.
.@paulsolman I just watched your @NewsHour segment on attending college, its costs, availability of work, etc. Have you checked in with Brandeis University & its new curriculum approach relating to these issues? If not, you should. I admit I’m an alumnus from ancient times, 1963.
For teachers who may be reading this exchange, I am still available to visit classrooms, especially high school classrooms in economics, by Zoom. A journalism classrooms as well.
Hi @paulsolman it's been some years, but I still think fondly of your visits to my classroom (virtually) in Warsaw and Beijing. I'm glad to see you're still at it
I was watching your segment recently and was wondering about your tie. Is it a brown trout? Looks a little fishy
Those were fun, Kevin.
The tie: a collaboration of sorts with Paul Klee, moving a tie-shaped template over a Klee image. Have ordered a few different ones via Zazzle.

Ah, voice recognition again hard of hearing: Renewed push to sign on high schools and hs teachers or principles for what's been called "America's best kept secret" and the best antidote to polarization in the country: the American Exchange Project. americanexchangeproject.org/

Thanks, Paul. While your story is about USA, there are lessons to apply in Canada as well. A few years ago, I dealt with bailiff here who plays dirty, knowingly putting my house up for sale without serving my bank, nor did realtor he works with follow law on listing my property.
Then you might be interested in our story last night on zombie mortgages, if you haven't seen it already: youtu.be/3drD5g6nL_8

I'm engineer w 35+ yrs experience and think I can discern good science: even econ + poli sci. I look for clear logic, quality evidence, and willingness to answer questions. Also:

• @andrew_leach
• @trevortombe

• @paulsolman (correspondent)
And more than $10 billion in silver.

@paulsolman Here's some fun math for the
@PBS @NewsHour person using the official BLS inflation calculator for the Greenland tidbit numbers. Yes, $100 million in 1946 is $1.8 billion inflation adjusted dollars, but adjusted for the offer's price in gold, it's $13.3 billion!
Meant material gains, but perhaps should have added the adjective.
Replying to @NewsHour @paulsolman
Please explain why you frame mothers leaving the workforce to stay home & raise their young children as "erasing gains."
The more I think about it, the more I tend to disagree with you about this. I don't think there's any judgment implied when most people use this term, even though I don't use it. It could just be every day people as opposed to those who think they're high and mighty, no?
Replying to @paulsolman @NewsHour
Well a lot of people use it; I don't think they understand what they are revealing about their worldviews.
This has nothing to do with DEI, Pete (is it?). We're lowercase D:diversity of every kind. If you watch the videos linked on our website, from places including FOX&friends, you'll see that there's no agenda besides getting kids to learn about the America outside their oen bubble.
I did stories about both a few years ago but you're right, we should've mentioned what's happened to their price in comparison. So I just looked it up and it seems both of them have risen in price by noticeable amounts but not nearly as much as beef. In the past 12 months.

Tweets like this raise doubt the Tweeter has watched the story, in which Beth Akers of the conservative AEI argued forcefully for repayment, & even one of the debtors agreed. Or just reflex anger that undermines civil discourse? Reminds me to reread Carol Tavris' book Anger.
Apologies for almost never posting, but reading Mary Renault's The Last of the Wine about Athens in the time of Socrates, how about this sentence: "half the world's troubles come from men not being trained to resent a fallacy as much as an insult."
Yup, with a slight arithmetic tweak. Paul Samuelson:
“The stock market has predicted nine of the last five recessions.”
This line appeared in his Newsweek column on September 19, 1966.
From close personal friend and housemate ChatGPT:
Adjusting for inflation:
• The 1989 peak of 38,915 would be about 46,000–48,000 yen in 2025 yen.
• The current level (around 41,000) is therefore still below that inflation-adjusted high.

At least the Nikkei 🇯🇵has recovered from its 1989 high - it only took around 35 yrs😐
Oh sure, Vincent -- countless ex-ante bubble analyses over the centuries. Only problem is, many of them have been wrong or misleadingly premature.
Replying to @paulsolman
Paul, have you ever heard a compelling definition of a bubble that didn’t rely on retrospective analysis (or flat-out handwaving)?
