And they’re still chatting on. Four different clusters of my team discussing elite bargains in their neck of the woods. For a group of macro-fiscal wonks this is refreshing.
Look who made a special appearance at our economists’ retreat! Thanks @gamblingondev for a fantastic session! When my team chooses something over the coffee break you know you’re winning with your arguments! Quite a buzz going on here right now.

@Niginakhon_ Their annual music competition must surely be SamSung?
@gamblingondev @AsthanaRoli YES! I'm energized by our chat earlier today. @AsthanaRoli time for some planning over paneer!
@gamblingondev - while everyone is posting their touristy photos, I’m putting this great read to *real* use with the fabulous team @minfinuzb. #Uzbekistan’s ambitious transformation in recent years is a missing chapter we should write for the second edition!
Slovakian sees a video about American suburbs and posts questions to Reddit. The level of bafflement is hilarious and appropriate.
Hello Boysun! You’re putting on quite the Bahori show. Although it feels a bit more yoz than bahor!😅
Today marks the end of four years as a New Zealand public servant.
It’s been an absolute privilege to work with talented, committed people dedicated to a critical mission: improving lives and futures for New Zealanders and the world.
@gamblingondev Surely you must feel some remorse for unseating the epitome of irony - Kwame Nkrumah as the #1 bestseller on Amazon.
@scepticalranil @gamblingondev Yes! There's not enough good guidance on how to advise policymakers. I also think uncertainty - especially social/political - and how it influences decisions, is heavily ignored, leading to pushes for infeasible or unenduring 1st best technical advice that fails.

Ka maumahara tonu tatou ki a ratou – we will remember them. Today, New Zealanders around the world remember the sacrifices made by all who fought in The World Wars: our veterans, our armed services personnel, families of the fallen, and our refugee communities. #KeiWareWareTatou
@gamblingondev @yuenyuenang
@gamblingondev @yuenyuenang Stefan - will be released in an electronic edition (e.g., Kindle) for those of us who can’t easily get their hands on a physical copy?
This is the greatest day of my life
Netflix put up its price and its quantity fell. Why this is a shock is beyond me.
