@kausmickey It’s truly the best wonk-fight going right now in the NBER. Small sample, but…
@kausmickey math and common sense is no match for the need for @TheDemocrats voters or #cheaplabor for @USChamber
@kausmickey @isaacncohen You really can’t process that all of these workers would be better off with unions, can you? That the effect of the
