Once again, the median pay for an adjunct professor in the United States of America is $3,500 per course. Not per month, per course.
Oh. That's a heck of a subsidy.

I *hate* this "digital divide" framing for AI; even libraries marshal it to justify their "AI literacy classes," ensuring all have "access" for self-actualization and economic opportunity. Maybe instead some folks are sufficiently literate, and they're instead choosing *principled refusal*.
The Gates Foundation has pledged to spend at least $1 billion over the next two years to expand global access to A.I. and help “narrow gaps between the richest and poorest rather than widening them.”
Gates Foundation Pledges $1 Billion to Combat A.I. Inequality
Bill Gates, the foundation’s chairman, has been vocal about the dangers of artificial intelligence. The donation will be invested in A.I. projects to bridge social inequalities.

NEW: It was a digital lynching. And the media is never going to hold itself to account for the role it played in Jason Arday’s death.

What is a land value tax, and how would it work?
Burnham’s support for land value tax -since 2010!- means this idea is finally getting serious political discussion, pretty much for the first time since the Lloyd George tried to introduce a version of LVT in the 1910s…

A land value tax makes sense in theory. Could it work in practice – and will Andy Burnham implement the property tax?

wait until he finds out economics was built on the assumption that people are wrong
I think that as economists we should be a lot more concerned that everyone feels like they've got poorer when the data show they haven't. We certainly shouldn't just be assuming that the customers are wrong, rather than that we're no longer measuring things that are most relevant to wellbeing
