🧵The ballot measures last night say a few things about voters’ feelings about the economy. Here is how they played out. PAID SICK LEAVE All three measures requiring employers to provide paid sick leave PASSED (AK, MO, NE) All 3 states went to Trump 1/x

Structural economic issues still shape voters’ lives and every dimension of politics. For those reading the economic tea leaves pointing to economic insecurity, the ballot measures corroborated the anxieties voters feel about their standard of living. levyinstitute.org/publications/t…

Irresponsible reporting from The Hindu The Indian Express Business Standard & others about Indian being 4th equal country. They compare India’s CONSUMPTION inequality Gini of 25.5 with INCOME inequality of other equal countries. INCOME inequality of India is 62! Thread explaining: 1/8

What’s the correct number? India’s income Gini (from World Inequality Database & also the World Bank report) is 61. That's extremely high & places India among unequal countries-ranking 176 out of 216. This rank was 115 in 2019, a rising inequality. h/t Ihsaan
