In fairness, you'll still need huge tracts of land

Highly recommend "Chaos on the Bridge" if you haven't seen it. Documentary about TNG's early days.

I visited once a few years back. It was awesome, but you're right that nowadays you might need to be on a school trip. Maybe they'll loosen up again.

Not really an apples-to-apples comparison if you don't include the caloric cost of paving a smooth road though . . .

These days there are a bunch of software platforms for self-employed folks like carry.com. Do some googling for providers; ultimately self-employed can be way more tax efficient than W2.

When does the book come out?

Remember in his first presidency when, as a prelude to his North Korea negotiations, he tried to convince the world he'd use nukes? Lots of wasted ink spilled back then too.

At least macroeconomics is getting some attention? Never heard the term "comparative advantage" so much in my life.

(with El Salvador jail being the downside case) 😞

Fair enough. But an upside case might be that having your work banned is great Streisand-effect PR. Look what happened to Ginsberg / Howl. Or Serrano / Piss Christ. Might kick-start an academic career with some publicity for those who want to gamble.

Courts will likely strike this stuff down by the time a complete application/admission cycle is complete. Just tell your students to have a backup. Don't count us out yet!
