    I've had several pet rabbits and dogs too. They get on well when raised together from a young age, and can engage in friendly play. Rabbits also smell nice when clean.

    Advantages of pet rabbits: 1. Easy to litter train 2. You don't need to walk them 3. Pretty cheap 4. Litter doesn't stink 5. Friendly, enjoy petting 6. Very long ears

    Disadvantages: 1. Chews unprotected power cords 2. Only live for ~10 years 3. No automatic hay feeders exist yet, so can't leave bunnies alone for multiple days

    What if Fox & Friends just puts up a picture of this, and then we can all congratulate him on a wall well built. Save a couple billion. Everyone is happy.

    This is, of course, correct. Even if the wall were built, its main effect would probably just be to slow the return of unauthorized immigrants to Mexico.

    People are reporting on this wall like it’s a real goddamn thing. It’s not. It’s virtue signaling for white supremacists.

    This is fascinating, and seems to push back against the stereotype that economists ignore research in other disciplines.

    Journal of Labor Economics? A highly selective top field journal? Also ignored by virtually every journal outside economics. There are some black whiskers over by sociology, but again that's labor economists citing soc articles. Sociologists aren't returning our calls.

    Illegal immigration now seems to me to be nothing more than a symbolic flashpoint in the much larger battle over race and belonging in America - over who gets to be a "real American". That is a very important battle. But it's not really about illegal immigration. (end)

    Looking at the data and the history, I cannot reasonably conclude that illegal immigration should be an important issue in the United States today. It seems to me to be a nothingburger. A vehicle for posturing, rhetoric, and status politics, not a real policy challenge.

    Illegal immigration continues to go in reverse. The number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. fell in 2016, by about 300,000.

    A great thread about a great - and mostly forgotten - economist.

    1/There’s this economist few remember, who wrote the 1st 2-sectors growth model, brought Pontryagin to econ, played rugby w/ Inada, argue over Marxism & Keynes w/ Solow & Kahn, rediscovered Veblen & ended up contributing to a papal encyclical. His name is Hiro Uzawa (宇沢弘文)
