Did you footnote Orley Ashenfelter? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1468-0297.2008.02148.x?msockid=0bec71d00bb96bbb0c3760ba0a366aab

I'm preparing for my new career as a sommelier. It will be a while before AI can taste wine. Of course it can already do a pretty job writing fake tasting notes.

He's gonna fold like a cheap suit. And it will be a smart move.

yeah yeah...net tax payers...i get it

My argument is simple People in blue states and blue districts live longer with a growing gap, they make more dough with a growing gap, and they attain a higher level of education with a growing gap. Moreover, the best research indicate that these outcomes are driven in large part by policy...

yeah...Grok put it in parentheses nice try....better luck next time

sure...the word net with a definition provided by you suddenly made an appearance as i keep saying y'all just are having a hard time grasping that y'all not quite the ballers y'all make yourselves out to be blue states and blue districts make a lot more money than red states and districts...

It's never a good sign for your argument when you have to move the goalposts. As a reminder this is the graphic you shared that prompted the discussion.

They should be. Because the Willie Horton strategy is a tried and proven one.

I don't know but I will point out something I said earlier. Democratic districts have much higher median income than Republican districts. Republican districts are at Mexican levels of GDP per capita. The differences in per capita income between states are not as pronounced as they are at the...

It is like any other tool. Can be used for good or bad. For things it does well and things it does badly. The thang that stands out at the moment is the rate of improvement and the promise for what it will allow us to accomplish. It is a meta invention on par with the combined power of the...

They would if you accounted for all the fact that Republicans who don't pay taxes vote at a much higher rate than Democratic voters that don't. I'd be willing to take that tradeoff any time.

It is not really a question of race or ethnicity. We are talking about changes in health outcomes over time. Race/ethnicity can account for the range of outcomes in a given period of time, but not changes over time.

Believe it or not resources spent on rehabilitation and giving people a second and third chance often pays off!! I know it's hard to lay off the crack pipe that is your twitter feed. Enjoy it!!

There are lots of benefits to weakening the theocracy. We should book em and declare victory.

I would like that theocracy to be gone as much as anyone. I just wonder about the approach being taken. I'm afraid the global economy is going to go into the tank and the theocracy will still be there when we decide to declare victory.

Blue states btw also have lower recidivism rates. Virginia and Minnesota being standouts!!

The part you seem capable of contemplating is people who are given more information will make better choices. And state health programs play a vital role in providing this information. On thangs like smoking, pre-natal care, vaccines, etc, etc. If we care about life we should be in favor of...

Even more important for the time period we study, the implementation of Medicaid and its later expansions to pregnant low-income women have been linked to lower morbidity and mortality in the long run (Goodman-Bacon 2021; Miller and Wherry 2019). Again, using state variation in eligibility for...

Money quote from the paper: The data suggest that residents of high-income states have enacted policies and adopted behaviors with long-run payoffs to midlife mortality that are becoming increasingly apparent over time.
