What do you mean by supply-side?

Of course if a proposal replaces center subsidies with home care subsidies then that would be pretty bad.

I see. That’s not how I read it. Bruenig‘s proposals (from what I remember) typically include both center child care subsidies and home care subsidies (at the same amount).

Of course. But the issue with the local daycare closing would exist even if there were no home care subsidy. How is it caused by the home care subsidy?

Isn’t that true even without the home care subsidy, though? I don’t see this being forced as a result of a hypothetical home care subsidy.

If the home care subsidy and the child care center subsidy are the same size, you are getting the same amount of money in both cases. I don’t see how that would distort behavior.

I don't think it was clearly simultaneous. Simultaneous is a pretty high bar! It‘s kind if statistically impossible

Next, Zhengren Zhu presents:
"A Coherence Measure for the Quality of Students' Course Selections and (Late) College Dropout"
He studies the impact of the "coherence" of college students' course selection, the extent to which the set of courses they choose fulfills the requirements of a major.

Is there and IRS ruling or law that codifies this? I just ask because it seems like a silly distinction. The scholarships are already for athletic services. Has the IRS just looked the other way to how it works in practice?

You can still give an employee a scholarship. Schools do this all the time.

This is not a consequence of employee status though. It would be the consequence of a separate silly law change

Burr is not in the Senate anymore. And this is separate from giving them employee status so I don’t see how it’s an argument against it. Plenty of students are also employees of the school and part of a union already.

Are athlete scholarships and benefits exempt from taxation? For regular students they are not unless they are for qualified education expenditures.

Definitely has happened to me on LIRR. You did see it on the MNR new haven line but only at a handful of (always the same) stops

Put it on for the first time in a while recently. It was even better than I remembered, which was a high bar.
