Hell on my way out I went to pick up some deodorant and a new pair of nailclippers and the nail clippers were all locked up. Do the Stancil's ever interact with the world outside Twitter?

sitting here thinking about how an actual argument ive seen floating across certain threads is "why do these guys pretend to care about the gaza situation NOW when theyve never had such views in the past?" .... the more I think about it just gets me increasingly angrier and id Perma/3-Week them if I could.

i know matty's whole thing is being disingenuous for clicks but that paper is not really what he's saying it is. the authors make it really clear this is a field with very few empirical studies and in the introduction they emphasize that their work is really about comparing neoclassical models of economic development to alternative models. They also have these passages in the introduction:quote:One limitation is that while this econometric strategy provides estimates of differences across districts, the approach is unable to capture aggregate nation-wide effects of the war on Vietnamese development. The counterfactual – Vietnamese economic performance in the absence of the “American War” – cannot be observed or estimated. This is potentially important to the extent that the war led to major institutional and social changes, or if the cross-region spillovers of the war within Vietnam were large. Still the rapid rate of economic growth in Vietnam since the early 1990s – at 6% on average between 1993 and 2003 (World Bank, 2004) – indicates that any nation-wide war impacts on economic growth rates were not persistently negative, and did not generate a national-level poverty trap. So the principal finding of the paper is subtly, but critically, different from what Matt is implying. It is not saying that we bombed Vietnam and nothing happened to their economy. It is saying that heavily bombed areas did not experience regional poverty traps--a phenomenon where local economies from heavily bombed regions did not recover as easily as it did elsewhere where the bombing was lighter. I have not read past the introduction but one question I have is that, since the authors noted that careful redistribution of capital can help avoid poverty traps, and that North Vietnam was communist, was there any such movement of capital to help alleviate localized effects of bombing?

Some Guy TT posted:Did the Biden administration have unfettered access for a large portion of 2021 to Donald Trump's transition documents and papers that were later shipped from storage near Washington, D.C., to Mar-a-Lago in Florida? No, that's not true: The General Services Administration, which provides transition support for outgoing presidents, told Lead Stories that the documents were "accessible only to the former president's Outgoing Transition Staff and those who they permitted." There was never unsupervised access to those documents, a spokesperson for the federal agency said. interesting. thank you!

Danann posted:Thinking about the several billions reserved specifically for EV charger stations that resulted in only 7 charger stations built. When media outlets like this one (and dozens of others) print nothing but misinformation campaigns, hit-pieces, and dystopian warnings against tech innovators - it's not hard to understand why the public is skeptical and even hostile towards companies trying to innovate.

I mean if anything LastName is probably in there because hes supposed to give him one off the cuff like Riley Murphy the most irish theologian that ever lived. But Biden's brain is the consistency of paté so he just read Last Name. Or maybe the reverse Riley is the last name and he was suppsoed ro bullshit a first name
