This is actually pretty devastating to the anti immigrationists arguments about "assimilation." Immigrants hold statistically identical views about immigration as the native population lol. Sweeping claims about "assimilation" are bunk teapaw.org/Harry__Faulkner/status…

A new poll on immigration from the Environics Institute finds that first-generation Canadians and non-white Canadians have stronger opinions against immigration than white Canadians and third-generation+ Canadians. 63% of first-generation Canadians and 60% of non-white Canadians think too many immigrants are not adopting Canadian values. 57% of first-generation Canadians and 54% of non-white Canadians think that many refugee claimants are fake.

Going to a formal event next week and I know my dad would be pissed if I just showed up in shorts and a t-shirt (I don't like him) but I'm important enough that I wouldn't be kicked out.🫣

Hot take but I think at this point you should be running a lot of your thoughts and beliefs through LLMs. At the very least it gets you thinking and challenges your thoughts!

A lot of good in "econ 101" (think establishing the rules of arithmetic), but they can be heavily heavily abused (and they are).

My most elitist opinion is finding non-economists parroting “econ 101” talking points annoying, even if they ultimately land on the correct side of a policy issue

The cross border US-Canada populations from 1850 to 2025 (Canada census for 2026 will be soon). ACS for 2025 got released but not the public use microdata. Result of old manual work I did on this, and then building on it with the help of ChatGPT (lots and lots of prompting).
