"This creates a “bit” of challenge. We can observe that the military implements systematically and produces superior results, but we cannot cleanly separate method effects from selection effects without experiments that will never happen."

The article keeps bring up selection effects

I don't think Dave associates himself with the abundance movement

The writer of this article (Dave) publicly dislikes Derek Thompson and keeps criticizing Matt Ygelasis for his austerity fetish, along with praising Mamdani

It doesn't, unless there is cheap capital floating around

It uses Oil & Gas shocks, rather than a sectoral analysis among o&g. I think it is because big firms are in big cities, who seem to be able to handle shocks better than other companies in other cities

A big reason that people say intrest rate hikes or cost cutting is good because it makes people "work smarter with less" or some other BS or have the economy focus on what matters

I think the bulk of the people gotten it

Did he reply back with the book?

Have you tried reaching out to the guy for a copy?

I think this is sort of cool to find out that a town in Korea take advantage of being on the DMZ to actually get more support for families

> Yanggu County, one of South Korea's smallest regions (population: 21,000), leverages its DMZ-adjacent military population (80% of residents) and healthcare innovation to achieve a 1.52 fertility rate.

> The implications of these differences become clear in times of crisis. When COVID-19 struck, agencies struggled to adapt their operations quickly and effectively—precisely the kind of capability that systematic process understanding and improvement would have facilitated. The same patterns emerged during the 2008 financial crisis and Hurricane Katrina response.

Inflation and immigration would both qualify as crisises that admins fail to handle

It's refreshing that someone acknowledges that there is something some cities have done right in this environment

So its the 2000s all over again

Do CEOs ever learn their lessons?

Labor Shortages are great news!

What is this person talking about?

How else are we supposed to make real wage gains?

I mean we kinda expect community colleges to pick up those who are left behind and willing to learn

> Brainard and Carmel aren't the only ones: Despite post-bankruptcy fiscal constraints and a hostile state government (at least until Governor Whitmier), Detriot has seen infrastructure and amenity improvements under Mayor Mike Duggan, but it still has a long way to go.

They also referred to Detriot's own investments during a tight time

Didn't the guy also refers to Mike Dugger's work in Detroit

r 17 new affordable (multifamily and multiunit) housing proposals vs 16 housing units

I think they are making the point that houston doesn't just build more market rate housing, but all forms of housing

"Matthews claims that it’s Tesla who is trying to steal its technology.

Over the years, Tesla has sued quite a few companies and former employees for allegedly stealing trade secrets, including regarding battery production, Dojo, and more."

Sorta belive Matthews on this

Because it's awesome

You would be right in other cases, but the site also reports and summerizes on research about the topic

oh noooooooeeeeeeeeesssssss

don't do that

Japanese have a national insurance scheme, but you still have to pay copays

"successfully reversed declining fertility rates by consistently improving and working on family policy" not "successfully reversing fertility declines"

It's kinda sus that you leave the whole "rates" part out

- Japan (1.2) and Tokyo (.99) vs Nagareyama (1.5 considering it's in Chiba and Tokyo) & Nagi (2.95)

- Considering the Italian Birth Rate is in freefall whole South Tyrol is holding steady and above not just Italy's but also the UK.

- Czecha had a 1.8 until a drop to 1.6 during 2021 to 2022 according towards your dataset with Belgium, Lit. and the UK are now below

Considinder Czecha had a 1.1 in 2000, its only just makes it more impressive
