Education: Is college worth it?
Is college education worth it? Unfortunately, for many, it is not worth it from an ROI perspective. There may be other reasons to enroll.
Policy: Universal Basic Income
The Denver Basic Income project is presented as using UBI to end homelessness. Except that's not what happened.
Demographics: Immigration to be sole source of population growth in coming decades (for rich countries)
Wealthy countries' population growth will soon come exclusively from immigration.
Security: Doing math on board aircraft is dangerous
This really happened - an economist working on differential equations was temporarily removed from an airline flight because passenger thought he must be a terrorist.
Demographics: State budgets threatened by declining populations
Low fertility rates are already beginning to impact state budgets.
Finance: Why Basic Income Studies Produce Useless Results
Universal Basic Income makes no sense in the real world but they keep trying.
Business: Double majors in college have better earnings security
Study suggests the path to job security is cross training - and having degrees or double majors in 2+ subjects.
Policy, Economics: Price controls have never worked
A national rental price control policy is a long term fiasco.
Demographics: Another way of looking at the long term, low fertility rates
In Japan, there are 51 people age 65 or older for every 100 working age persons in the country. See any problems with this?
