Slower life expectancy gains at the U.S. county level since 2000 are linked to increasing levels of poverty, unemployment, and single-parent families, plus declines in manufacturing jobs--especially in rural areas.

Why do we need 51 senators rather than 50? Because right now at 50/50 every committee has a tie. Moving anything out of committee requires a superhuman effort. If Dems win a 51st seat, they'll have committee majorities.

The Georgia runoff MATTERS.

Re-electing Warnock MATTERS.

In Q1 of this year, @Apple was Twitter's top advertiser — around $50M in revenue. Half of the platform's top 100 advertisers, including Chevrolet, Ford and Kellogg's, have already quietly left.
They don't hate free speech, they hate that you freed hate speech.

So far I feel as though Mastodon is giving me 70% or 80% of what I liked about Twitter and pretty close to 0% of what I didn’t like.

Apparently Twitter has throttled crossposting to and from Mastodon. So, if you want to see everything I post, you'll need to follow me at http://mstdn.social/@johnquiggin

I was using Crossposter to publish here and on the other site, but now Musk has throttled the flow. So I will mostly post here, and copy some stuff there.

Fascinating thread by Connor Redpath on the effects of #SameSexMarriage legislation

Plus, it was developed by ukrainians 🇺🇦💪

In my research, teaching, and policy work I move back and forth between economics and education

Note the relative positions of econ and education on this graph - both outliers

I’ve grown accustomed to the differences but it felt like whiplash at the start

Every year, Nova Scotia provides Boston with its official yuletide tree as a thank you for the city's response to the 1917 #HalifaxExplosion

An estimated 2,000 people died and 9,000 more were injured.

Aid from #Boston was the 1st to arrive, and the response has not been forgotten.

The #TreeForBoston will leave Halifax on Nov. 21st for its 1,100-kilometre journey to Massachusetts. A tree-lighting ceremony will take place at the Boston Common on Dec. 1st.

Finishing up my #CEU presentation for next week.

What is it about? Hourly exposure to traffic-related emissions estimated at the street level for the city of #Vienna.

What does this imply? Will discuss at the talk 🙂

P.S. It took us four years to produce this animation.

A note/reminder to health economists on Mastodon - if you tag @healthecon in your post, the @healthecon group account will automatically boost it to its followers (currently 66 of us; hopefully more - so, please follow the group account)!

For other folks here on econtwitter.net, not there are group accounts for most #economics specialties - see the curated list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DVDfc3V7zTpghG0zbIYhHGQFU0rvy4BtpVQiNFn3DC4/edit#gid=0
