Upvote if you are a strong, educated, dependent young shill who don't need no centrally planned discussion thread coordination failure.

Am I the only one who has mostly abandoned /r/economics and pretty much stuck to this sub?

Damn, I am looking sharp tonight for my neighbor's 18th birthday semi-formal. It's nice to look as important as I feel instead of as important as I am. That's what my TMNT PJ's are for.

Good call.

In my frosh week there was a formal event for everyone but my roommate had 0 formal attire and I'm about 6 inches taller than he is. We decided that if he couldn't dress up then we would dress down so we went in housecoats.

My friend with an accounting degree wants to learn econometrics. Do I just give him my copy of Wooldrige?

Yes, and a probability and statistical inference textbook.

Here's a question:

Did you guys read this nytimes op ed "Capitalists Arise" by Peter Georgescu?

He has 2 points:

1) It's good for businesses in the long run to pay their workers more, so we should work to change corporate culture to make them more aware of that and more willing to pay their workers more.

2) Government should give tax breaks to companies that raise wages.

I'm not really concerned with whether it is badeconomics or not, but I would be interested in hearing in thought on how you, the informed bad economics commentator, can imagine changing the incentive structure of companies so they pay workers more.

Where do people stand on fiscal austerity?

As a microeconomist, I defer to my politics of soaking the poor with the tears of the rich.

Does anyone have knowledge of automod posting? I need the code for making a new post automatically when the original reaches a specific number of votes.
