GA “state laws make it easy for corporate landlords to maximize profits, shirk maintenance responsibilities and evict tenants” Classic bargaining “holdup problem” writ large. Sounds like large PE firms are also doing regulatory arb, picking states with weak oversight.

“They go after every listing under $500,000 … it’s like clockwork.” Metro Atlanta is ground zero for an investor takeover of the American Dream. Buyers can’t compete with the flood of cash. Renters are exploited for profit. Read Part 1 of our series: ajc.com/american-dream

GOP: “The state of our union is strong because our people are strong. We can overcome any obstacle. Our best days lie ahead." Also GOP: “…the America we love is in danger”

This is great advice. But most economics I see these days follows: 1, find a “unique data set” (ie monopoly power). 2, search for something that resembles exogenous variation. 3, Ask a question which that exogenous variation can answer (doesn’t need to be interesting).

.@UHHilo really nurtured us well (especially math faculty like Efren Ruiz, Brian Wissman, & Reni Ivanova). All 5 of us went on to grad school & earned masters in math. 4 of the 5 us obtained PhDs in math. Ashlee & I are now the first 2 Native Hawaiian women to hold PhDs in math.
A facebook memory from 10 years ago today of a picture of me with four other University of Hawaii at Hilo math undergrads. I'm standing in the middle. On the right are Ashlee Kalauli and Julian Hachmeister. On the left are my sister Alyssa and Tynan Lazarus. The caption reads, "We do MATH! (and wow is this an awkward picture of me)"

Dunbar number in East LA sheriff department cop “gangs”! “There’s word from East L.A. specifically that there’s a rule that once a group reaches 100 members, a new group has to form,” Peterson said. “But I’m not sure how rigid they are about that.”

Just imagine. You’re a pro-Trump Rep. with a new fancy-pants title, and you think you’ve hit paydirt on the FBI and Biden campaign leaning on Twitter in 2020. Then you find out the Trump White House pressured Twitter to take down a mean tweet from the co-host of Lip Sync Battle.

“Babakinejad’s lawsuit states that “during office/lab visits, employees were directed ... to obtain plants from campus grounds or nearby markets, and to place them inside of Food Computers prior to visits by prospective sponsors.” Theranos-like accusations of fraud at MIT

It's sort of what people mean by how you can't buy happiness. A neurotic person will still be neurotic no matter how much money they have. They'll always find a way to waste that money, to waste their own time and energy, on pointless ladder-climbing and Sisyphean tasks

People who say Dems need “better messaging” consistently ignore the fact the media isn’t interested in Dem messaging. Legacy media and their associated web/social media presences are by far the largest components of the messaging apparatus for both parties.

As I said on Friday, as a former Cavalryman I learned that unless there is an immediate threat, a smart person spends time observing, reporting, and analyzing. While the immediate reaction may be "shoot it down," experts may provide a more prudent approach. That happened. 2/

Many of these “historic first” awards are seen as accomplishments for the winners rather than a reflection of historic failure on the part of the awarding body. Calling someone the “first Black winner” sounds a lot nicer than saying “traditionally we don’t award Black people.”
