one article 📰 + one podcast 🎧 + one song 🎵

• 🎵 Music: Immigration Man | Crosby & Nash | Good song. Relevant lyrics.

• 📰 Article: Federal Fiscal Aid to State and Local Governments and COVID-19 Mortality | Jeffrey Clemens & Anwita Mahajan | "We estimate that the last $331 billion in federal pandemic aid … generated $591 billion in value through life years saved. Additional aid also reduced rates of COVID-19 related hospitalizations and emergency room visits, though not in the total number of positive cases detected."

• 🎧 Podcast: Nate Silver on Life’s Mixed Strategies | Tyler Cowen | Nate is always interesting to listen to. I've taken a lot of inspiration from his data-driven (and often contrarian) approach to describing the world.
