i just think of how little regard a state must have for human life when capital punishment cannot even be bothered to be shelved for as long as possible when there is even the slightest chance that you may executing someone wrongfully. what an irrational, killing machine

Happy tax day.
The effective tax rate of the top 1% richest Americans has declined from 50% in the early 1950s (all taxes included) to 32% today — it’s time for it to rise again!
We wrote about the potential for cost-effectiveness and justice gains from "non-local" climate action -- as well as the ever-present additionality and ethics challenges. Thanks @ReepAere for publishing and posting!
🆕 New feature in the Winter 2024 volume of @ReepAere:
"The Promise and Peril of Carbon Neutrality Goals" by Samuel Stolper (@samstolper), Michael R. Moore, and Timothy D. Arvan

The fundamental driver of homelessness in US cities is a lack of housing supply — not drug use, poverty, mental illness, or climate.
This explanation from @JerusalemDemsas should end the debate once and for all:

The people of Pakistan can’t seem to get a break and international news seems not to care. After months of heatwaves with temperatures reaching 50+ C, the country is enduring record breaking monsoon floods, due to climate change.
I got to talk about the potential effects of a federal gas tax holiday with @NPR's @theindicator😃. Thanks @VelocityWong!
Biden: Federal gas tax holiday woohoo!
*Cheers and cries of joy erupt*
The Indicator: Uh wait, not so fast, let’s talk about the economics behind this with @samstolper and @BudgetModel’s Zheli He npr.org/1109906572

Eid al-Fitr translates as "the festival of the breaking of the fast" & marks the end of Ramadan. On Eid, many Muslims attend the mosque for Eid prayer.

#UMSEAS Prof. @samstolper and @fordschool Prof. Catherine Hausman's study in @JEEM_tweets sheds light on how information failures affect pollution exposure and household well-being, and how those impacts differ across income levels: myumi.ch/rq8ZM
The book isn't out yet but we can work with that ✂️. A perfect Christmas gift for my father-in-law @Herring_NBA 🙏

#EconTwitter, does anyone have recommendations for carbon offsets or alternative ideas for how to mitigate the carbon released from unavoidable plane trips? Thank you in advance!

We don't get to brag about how wonderful a country we've got while we lose half a million people to the virus. We don't get to brag when we have people killed by police over counterfeit $20 bills and air fresheners/$346 warrants for weed, just miles apart from each other.

Daunte Wright's mom: "The last few days, everybody has asked me what we want ... Everybody keeps saying justice ... There's never going to be justice for us. Justice would bring our son home ... So justice isn't even a word to me. I do want accountability. 100% accountability."
