Danny Jacobs has resigned from OHSU. Nate Selden will be the new OHSU President. With Wayne Monfries no longer being OHSU Board chair, Jacobs lost his main support. Well, now OHSU can get back on track being a center for medical research excellence, instead of being an "anti-racist" organization, whatever that means. I remember when Jacobs came on board in 2018, and for the first time, OHSU employees found out that they had "unconscious bias" and needed to be rid of this affliction. Wow, all these years and no one realized this before. Soon, OHSU embodied all that is wrong with the Democrat Party, from DEI training to offering gender-mutilative surgery and abortion-on-demand, since Oregon has no term restrictions.

Cool, OHSU did manage to show the brain's glymphatic system, apparently for the first time.

More evidence that universal basic income does more harm than good. After people got $1000 /month for three years:
Yeah, just as we suspected. They just spent it on entertainment, and cut back on work accordingly. The transfer caused total individual income to fall by about $1,500/year relative to the control group, excluding the transfers. The program resulted in a 2.0 percentage point decrease in labor market participation for participants and a 1.3-1.4 hour per week reduction in labor hours, with participants’ partners reducing their hours worked by a comparable amount. The transfer generated the largest increases in time spent on leisure, as well as smaller increases in time spent in other activities such as transportation and finances. Despite asking detailed questions about amenities, we find no impact on quality of employment, and our confidence intervals can rule out even small improvements. We observe no significant effects on investments in human capital, though younger participants may pursue more formal education. Overall, our results suggest a moderate labor supply effect that does not appear offset by other productive activities.
Wells Fargo is pulling out of Portland, Hillsboro and Salem. There go the jobs, the tax base. Up go the unemployment claims. How much more of this can Oregon withstand?

Can't believe they built this. A rocket launcher aims to get rockets into space without propulsion, and instead will fling them into space with a giant sling.
