If you're approaching low birth rates from a "how do we incentivize people to have children?" perspective instead of "how do we build a society where people feel good about their lives and futures?", you're destined to fail. 3/3

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history. The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

Can I just say that 👏 this 👏 is 👏 not 👏 it? A policy that simultaneously devalues caregiving by suggesting one can do their job alongside providing care and devalues (mostly women's) work by implying one can easily manage care responsibilities while getting work done.

‘For policy, it means shifting the question from “How can we change or reverse current trends?” to “How can societies remain prosperous, equitable, and sustainable under conditions of low fertility, population aging and, in many places, population decline?”’ Yes! That’s the right question.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.
