> “An Ethnographic Study of the Social Context of Migrant Health in the United States.” In the study we learn that 95 percent of agricultural workers in the United States were born in Mexico and 52 percent are undocumented.
> Out of all the crops that farmers grow, the government only subsidizes five of them. They are corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and rice.
> Corn is the nation's biggest crop. Over 15 billion bushels were grown in 2017, with 15% exported. The corn belt is Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas. A third of Iowa's economy depends on farming. California produces the most food by value. Most of it is almonds, wine, dairy, walnuts, and pistachios. These aren't subsidized.
Portugal's economic is currently found in a bad position, one appartment in portugal is almost 190k€. We have been down for a while till we can either; a. better rule agreement, a better way to economize. My stepfather receives 4k€ every month and he is legit the director of the biggest company of components in portugal. So you can already expect what it is to live in Portugal right now. @Sh0t
Those charts above illustrate the effects of the Euro on the countries in europe that can't run a trade surplus like Germany
prior to the Euro, Portugal, Greece etc would have devalued their currency and maintained full employment at least, or close enough, and the exchange rates would have begun to tug on the economics of the surplus countries to shift business away
The US is a monetary union as well, but we are also a FISCAL union, and our system is top heavy wtih the Federal governemnt spending by far the most money, everywhere in the country
the Euro Nation /Euro Nation situation is the opposite: the individual nations do most of the taxing and spending, with a relatively thin EU bureaucracy on top, with not much fiscal action
The Euro+the government deficit rules favor the heavily capitalized countries like Germany, so it acts as a very sneaky export subsidy to Germany manufacturing
GOP quietly getting ready to shut down progressives for next go-round

Bro you can't keep flexing this stuff here, nobody knows what to make of it. Don't you have a class to teach, professor? ;)
that's nothing compared to what i'm looking at on my side of the tubes
but that's a handy comparison of m1 and m2 versus the CPI, so the Schiff bots can rope
None. It's a bad idea to do that I think, it will really blind you
I prefer the schools that take an engineering style approach if I can, alongside those that use survery-based methodology to get some data to test assumptions
A snippet so good, I had to clip it:

```Sapienza and Zingales, as paraphrased in the report, argue that “the more American economists agree among themselves, the more distant they grow from average Americans.” (It is one amusing irony that economists link arms and lock step in a framework that emphasizes personal choice and individuality.)
