UC Santa Cruz is a really nice location. We have not heard from CoRev of late so maybe he has finally decided to write his paper. Wish him well!
he’s been quiet since he lost his talking points from alex jones recently.
CoRev Well, here’s your chance to unveil a working draft of that AER paper. Hopefully the California fires will be under control by November.
Somehow I feel melancholy I don’t have all the skills required to undertake this adventure.
Maybe I can con CoRev into giving me 10 beers to be his paper advisor and PeakIgnorance to give me 5 beers for Stormfront links that say immigrants created wildfires?? Would SPLC put a price on my head for doing the latter?? It’s all so confusing now.
Nope! “Paper presenters will be responsible for their own travel expenses. “
If that is accurate, my guess is it has almost nothing to do with the costs (they could nominate a small group and pay for the nominated finalists relatively easily, I assume Southwest Air has a San Fran hub, so, it would be pretty cheap). This is more likely a way to narrow it down to local area winners. If you’re from Massachusetts or an eastern state, anything short of something on par with the creation of penicillin (creation of the Black-Scholes model, whatever) and you can wish to win this contest in one hand, sh*t in the other hand, and see which one fills up first.
Are you really THAT cheap? It is a wonderful place. Do you need to the rest of us to subsidize your next vacation?
Anon, U Bet’cha! I want the rest of you to pay for my next vacation! You seem to think many have not already visited CA, and have differing opinions than it’s a wonderful place.
I just noticed SCU is a Jesuit University. It’s a good bet they have extremely high standards. The Jesuits are similar to the Jews—they don’t F___ around on anything education related.
Related to Puerto Rico’s battles with the bond market (“bond vigilantes”??). Some of these bond stories get me pretty angry because it seems the bondholders want their cake and eat it to—-they provide the credit, then lecture and wave the naughty finger to those they gave the credit facility to—it seems to me it’s a two-way street.

it is interesting how we have the trolls who want to blame PR for its economic and energy mismanagement, but don’t want a market solution to bondholders who provided the funds for this mismanagement. why shouldn’t bondholders pay a price for a dysfunctional investment?
EXACTLY!!! Happy to see I’m not alone in this thinking.
Just something to think about:
