Critics gave it mixed reviews, but by the time I was born (Dec ‘65), it was the number one grossing film at the box office. It stands as a classic for many reasons. Maybe one for #HATM? #untilalessonislearned

Ok, I have to brag some, of the proud mama kind. My daughter got married to a very wonderful man on a boat in NY harbor this past weekend. It was perfect, they were joined by 8 family members, the weather was perfect, the I do’s so romantic, and NYC never disappoints. ❤️❤️

In a few moments, Chief Justice John Roberts will address the Fourth Circuit Judicial Conference. His presentation follows a very sobering presentation on current federal actions to limit the First Amendment. I will live Skeet. This is my view.

Abstract Workers who are worried about their personal finances may find it hard to focus at work. If so, reducing financial concerns could increase productivity. We test this hypothesis in a sample of low-income Indian piece-rate manufacturing workers. We stagger when wages are paid out: some workers are paid earlier and receive a cash infusion while others remain liquidity constrained. The cash infusion leads workers to reduce their financial concerns by immediately paying off debts and buying household essentials. Subsequently, they become more productive at work: their output increases by 7% (0.11 std. dev.), and they make fewer costly, unintentional mistakes. Workers with more cash on hand thus not only work faster but also more attentively, suggesting improved cognition. These effects are concentrated among more financially constrained workers. We argue that mechanisms such as gift exchange or nutrition cannot account for our results. Instead, our findings suggest that financial strain, at least partly through psychological channels, has the potential to reduce earnings exactly when money is most needed.
Study out of India finds that reducing financial concerns could increase productivity. A cash infusion led to paying off debts followed by becoming more productive at work. Output increased by 7%, and they made fewer costly, unintentional mistakes.
Now imagine UBI.
