They don’t explain why this is, but the fact that I see large groups of black males outside fast food chains when I go to Manhattan may have something to do with it

Required paleocon reading on immigration

Smith (2010) looks at the effects of immigration on youth unemployment, which has become a serious issue not only in the U.S., but worldwide as well (see: Greece, Spain, etc). He finds significant overlap with the industries youth workers are employed in and those of low skilled immigrants. He also finds that immigration reduces youth employment hours by about 3%, which significantly lowers earnings for those workers. A common response is that reducing youth employment is good because it will nudge youth into schooling, but he actually finds a negative effect, as lifetime earnings decrease as less youth are employed. This will become especially more poignant in the future as the reorganization of the economy has made it so more “entry-level jobs” actual require a certain level of prior employment, hurting workers just entering the labor force

I’d like to point out that this basically only affects tourists and vacationers coming from developed or nearly developed countries. It doesn’t have anything to do with immigration

This is the article that Nick was talking about on his Monday show. One of the best monologues he’s done.

“We do a little trolling it’s called we do a little trolling”

This is very depressing

Palmer (2018) and Eid (2018) reaffirm the core findings of the Bell Curve using newer data sets, finding that IQ is a much better predictor of adult poverty than other measures often cited, like parental SES.

Pierce and Schott (2017) examine the link between trade liberalization and “deaths of despair.” Trade liberalization is measured by loosened import competition in the 1990s, leading to massive dumps of Chinese exports into the U.S. and declines in manufacturing employment. They find that areas exposed to more trade liberalization experienced significant increases in deaths from alcohol, drugs, suicide, etc. This is only seen in white working males.

Free trade kills

Washington Post: “The Good Guys are the Hedge Fund Billionaires and Short Sellers.”

Levitt (2004) looks at possible reasons why crime sharply fell in the 1990s. He finds that mass incarceration, the ebbing crack epidemic, increases in the police force and legalized abortion accounts for nearly all of the crime drop. However, mass incarceration explains a majority of the contribution, with the other three factors playing lesser roles. And on the abortion issue, Joyce (2004) says it is likely incorrect, but doesn’t examine the other factors.

State IQ is highly negatively correlated to lethal force by police.

It’s very unfortunate what happened to the SAT. It used to be a much better test

Kuncell and Sackett are 2 of the best psychologists studying standardized testing.

"The Biden administration is opening an overflow facility for unaccompanied migrant children apprehended at the US-Mexico border, the federal agency tasked with the children's care told CNN in a statement."

I looked up each author for this study and their twitter pages are exactly what you’d expect.
