@ProfEmilyOster I am feeling the same this week. We lost the chance to get kids back in school because we chose industries that produce tax revenue because there was no relief for states from the federal government. And, in a lot of important ways, we don't have a federal government right now.

With CDC FINALLY recommending better masks, we're kicking off #HowDoYouN95 . Snap a selfie with your fave. My go-tos: pic 1 is a KF94. Comfy as a surgical mask, better fit. I twist straps for tightness. Pic 2 is a 3M Aura--cushy nose-bridge, doesn't smudge your lipstick! (1/2)

Compelling event study evidence that removing mask mandates in Massachusetts led to dramatically increased covid cases compared to districts that kept mandates. More cases means more kids and teachers out of school. We keep school "normal" by keeping kids safe.

"What did we find?" School districts which removed mask policies had an immediate increase in COVID cases in both students and staff. This increase in cases got bigger over the next 10 weeks.

You have to be doing really bad things to get a private company to run a t-test to show you're full of it. (Insurance company that Dan Ariely heavily implied may have faked the data before he ever saw it says that no, in fact, they weren't the ones manipulating data for pubs.)

A lot of discussions over the weekend on how to improve economics generally and on people's positive experiences. Can I say gently that both are highjacking a discussion about racism? Fixing elitism is great. Good mentors are great. But we were talking about racism in economics.

And PEOPLE, especially kids, who want to mask but are sensitive to the social norm. This idea that "anyone who wants to mask can" just completely ignores everything we know about human behavior from economics, sociology, psychology, you name it!!

@femonomics Mandates (or even a recommendation for universal masking from the CDC) also gives cover to businesses who want to keep customers and employees safe, but lack the courage to do it on their own. Lots of local performance venues stopped requiring masks thx to the Green Sharpie map.

Whether or not the Koch brothers called ICE on their own workers in retaliation, the core fact remains that immigration enforcement is used to keep immigrant workers scared, compliant, un-unionized, and cheap. Notice the companies aren't getting in any trouble in these raids...

So, these 11% are clearly not "regretting surgery"--most had none. Instead, they are going back and forth between living according to their gender identity and their assigned gender. Why might someone do that? You don't have to wonder, the survey tells you, and it's transphobia.

What's the truth? I googled "rate of people who regret trans surgery." The incorrect 11% number is the first result. The second result is this WPATH provider survey, that shows the true rate is 0.3%--62 patients out of 22,725. End🧵

Universities, like Columbia, must ask themselves, “under what conditions would they permit the police to kill one of its students or one of its faculty members. Is Columbia willing to have police kill one of its students today? That is the gamble they’re taking.

It will never stop being outrageous to me that we are allowed to have "legacy" admissions, the equivalent of the voting grandfather policy, that date back to alumni admitted before women, people of color, and Jews many places, but NOT programs for disadvantaged groups. What???

Duke admits 11% of the general applicants but 23% of legacy applicants—whose parents and grandparents parents were accepted during Jim Crow. Duke didn’t even accept Black students until 1963. Now Black scholarships are banned but racist Jim Crow Legacy thrives. This is America.

The White House could develop clear standards that identify whether a school is sufficiently safe, inform community members whether their schools meet these standards, and take responsibility for ensuring every kid attends a safe school. But safety is not the real priority.
