NEW - There's been a huge explosion in the number of Americans identifying as LGBT a Gallup survey shows.

Close to 1 out of every 5 Gen Z so identifies (17%). That's more than a 4-fold increase from Gen X (4%).

But almost all of the increase comes from those identifying as bi or trans, not gay or lesbian. @disclosetv @disclosetv_chat

Fryer (2009) analyses the supposed phenomenon of “acting white,” when black students are chastised by black classmates for having a high level of academic achievement. He finds significant evidence for this phenomenon, as black students with GPA’s above 90% and who go to multiracial schools face higher levels of peer pressure and isolation from their black classmates, which can cause them to regress towards lower test scores. Although it doesn’t primarily explain the black-white test score gap, Fryer suggests that cultural differences may possibly be playing a role in it.

Many past studies by epidemiologists and public health experts have found that minimum wage increases improve public health. Horn et al. (2016) challenges the view and find that it can actually decrease physical and mental health, especially among unemployed workers. Past studies that found improvements weren’t done by economists, and therefore cannot fully take into account the economic impacts minimum wage increases have on prices and unemployment.

This is misleading because the bottom quintile doesn’t pay federal taxes (except payroll tax, which isn’t cut in this bill). It’s more accurate to say that it’s a massive no-strings-attached cash giveaway through the tax code.

The outline of Biden’s next reconciliation bill. More than $3 trillion dollars. I’m sure we can keep spending this much money and have no negative effects.

People I know unironically try to argue that black students are no more likely than white students to misbehave
