The point is that there's enormously different implications. If comp stagnates less than productivity then you have a huge bargaining problem. If comp keeps pace with productivity but is all eaten up by healthcare costs, either somethi

The +2.6% is hourly pay, not extra hours; it’s the difference between flat wages and one more year of raises. Every credible quasi-experiment, from Denmark’s refugee lottery to U.S. enforcement crackdowns, confirms that more immigrants leav

I'm going to take this in three parts: - Immigrants are good, especially if you let them assimilate - Immigrants will assimilate if given the tools - Current NGOs can provide the tools effectively for low cost I'm going to crib fr

I don't know why you think you're entitled to any particular job due to government policy, that seems like a really poor and inefficient way to run an economy. Feels like "DOGE for thee, but not for me"

The free market will determine the best place for these people without arbitrary categories that you've given, we should let in basically anyone who wants to come. NGOs are good. They should stay, it helps with integration and placemen

At this point I mostly agree with you, but I kinda want to keep going on the sovereignty thing. Prosecutorial discretion and state incapacity to prosecute every crime has existed... literally forever. Sovereignty only means "supreme po

man idk, maybe it was the long conservative rule after the crash? Maybe it was the long austerity? Maybe it was the huge mass of natives that voted to crash out of an agreement with a bloc that handles over 80% of their trade? More seriousl

You're fundamentally misunderstanding both the economic research and my argument. No one is claiming wages are "the only thing in economics where positive supply shocks don't matter." The research shows that labor market

Your "more supply equals lower wages" argument is demolished by top economic research. A recent NBER study calculated that "immigration, thanks to native-immigrant complementarity and college skill content of immigrants, had

"How come every time I see a headline like this it's totally wrong?" This isn't wrong. It's documented fact. Three U.S. citizen children (ages 2, 4, and 7) were deported by ICE through the New Orleans field office.

I mostly agree, although I really disagree with 'speaking truth to power' — I feel like the outsized reverence for this is exactly what got us into this mess. For YEARS, there's been a culture of celebrating opposition for op

my point is that's the exact same if its a random microcap, just massively magnified. The president can easily cause triple digit swings. Doing a broad market movement is inefficient from this point of view.
