    I want to make you aware: the anti-harassment training at my university includes a scenario where an overheard discussion of whether “DEI has gone too far” is the first sign of prejudice and on-the-job discrimination.

    Fauci in NYT deflecting blame: "I'm not an economist... we looked at it from a purely public-health standpoint." So where were the economists in 2020? Most were agreeing with lockdowns. This is a spectacular failure. igmchicago.org/surveys/policy…

    Add me to the list. When I was an MIT doctoral student, I was delighted to teach an evening class on Money and Financial Institutions at Harvard Summer School for a couple summers (2002-3), and many of my students were from the Extension School. @christopherrufo

    I taught at the Extension School for five years, when I was an Assistant/Associate Prof at Harvard, and it was a privilege to do so. The students there, mostly adult, years or even decades older than the regular Harvard undergrad were exceptionally committed, diligent and

    I agree with @EricBoehm87 @reason, Fauci can't exonerate himself so easily. He pushed hard for lockdowns, denounced Great Barrington, and said "I represent science." But many people were complicit in supporting and implementing these destructive policies.
    Anthony Fauci says don't blame him for COVID lockdowns and school closures?

    At least there, it just comes right out and says that request goes against its programming. Ask it factual questions like what % of people in US polls want less reliance on natural gas in domestic energy (answer: 19%) and it subtly redirects you.

    1/8 It's official. The US gvt in analysis of the costs and benefits of any new regulation will now use long-run discount rates as low as 1.1%. All proposed regulation the Administration says has high costs today but high benefits in the future just got a BIG, unjusified boost.

    85% of this 2020-21 Faculty Senate of Stanford voted to condemn Dr. Atlas: facultysenate.stanford.edu/past-senates/5…. It is one of the most shameful and outrageous episodes in the history of Stanford University. @ScottAtlas_IT

    Second, in Nov. '20, Dean Pizzo organized a campaign to excommunicate Dr. Atlas, culminating in a faculty senate vote to condemn him. By chilling academic freedom, it made it near impossible for dissidents to speak, harming the nation's health. 3/5 news.stanford.edu/2020/11/20/fac…

    Governor @GovRonDeSantis and @christopherrufo are right and @AFA_Alliance are wrong. The taxpaying public should not have to support or tolerate woke advocacy in public universities. My latest in WSJ: wsj.com/articles/flori… via @WSJopinion

    1/ Many reports on people leaving California for TX, FL, etc. My recent working paper papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… using administrative tax data takes a deep dive on California's loss of high earners, who actually left during Covid, and what the economic costs are. [THREAD]

    Great op-ed by @AllysiaFinley predicting a bailout of states and cities. The Fed and federal Covid aid delayed the day of reckoning, but encouraged even more recklessness, so now the problems are even bigger.

    We have been teaching first-year Stanford MBAs about interest rate risk for years -- and for the past 5 years with a simple spreadsheet in which we ask students to shock the balance sheet of a sample bank with a 1% and then 2% increase in interest rates.

    More evidence below that @ChatGPTapp censors Milton Friedman. But I'm open @sama. Convince me that I'm paranoid. Does ChatGPT not as a policy explicitly censor some statements in support of free markets and competitive entperprise?

    Isn't NYT admission that official COVID deaths include "people who had virus when they died even though it was not the underlying cause" also an admission that spike in total deaths was in part due to lockdowns/NPIs? 1/2 @DrJBhattacharya @VPrasadMDMPH

    In a sign that the pandemic really is over, the total number of Americans dying each day is no longer historically abnormal.
