Humans doing the hard jobs on minimum wage while the robots write poetry and paint is not the future I wanted

Select boomers and millennials are looking for the same home but the former is often coming to the market equity rich and less price/rate sensitive than the latter. This has allowed boomers to overtake millennials as the top buyers in 2022
This was an absolutely mindblowing point from @AliWolfEcon I hadn't thought about before.
Lots of people talk about how the housing market will get looser as Boomers age/die.
But what if they're making the hottest housing markets even worse right now?

You can now track CA flu cases & hospitalizations in your county and region with the new flu feature on CalCAT: calcat.covid19.ca.gov #FightFluTogether

If UC actually bargained in good faith, we would have a @UAW5810 contract after over a YEAR.
I would have had *8 weeks* of leave with my infant, instead of just 4

Instead, I strike - so future parents have it better than I did.

Fundamentally the “earn to give” philosophy of effective altruism is about reallocating private resources toward public goods. Make money so that you can fund altruism. But we actually have a way less sexy, way more scalable way of doing that, called “taxes”.

Very proud of our modeling team for adding flu projections to our CalCat site, you can look at by county, region or statewide! We’re seeing an early flu season so get your flu vaccine now if you haven’t already!
DYK: You can track CA flu cases and hospitalizations in your county and region. Check out the NEW flu feature on CalCAT by going to: calcat.covid19.ca.gov/.
CDPH recommends the annual flu vaccine for everyone six months of age and older to reduce the risk of getting the flu.

Since 2020, the @MIDAS_Network coordination center has been supporting the #covid19scenariomodelinghub's projections for trajectories of the COVID-19 pandemic under alternative possible futures. The scenario modeling team has now moved on to flu...

Interesting Q&A. Learned about these but wish WHO had more publications from their social science/behavioral insights groups: who.int/publications/m/item/… who.int/initiatives/behaviou…
Always a pleasure to talk to @HelenBranswell. #COVID19 is one of many crises we face, we need to adjust the response to save lives and reduce the spread in the context of these complexities. We can do it.
Thank you for publishing this important conversation.

Our health care heroes continue to do the impossible and remain strong during the fight against #COVID19, but together we can help reduce the stress on our health care system by doing what’s possible: vaccinating and boosting, wearing a mask, and staying home when sick.
