Methinks you doth project too much.
Sometimes (especially in Wisconsin) a fat guy is just a fat guy, with no discernible political agenda.

@NeonTrotsky
There is a longer term horizon when you are working within a partnership structure then when you are working for a public company where the majority of your total compensation and reputational risk is decided on a year-by-year basis.

Talk to some of the old timers from Goldman before they went public in 1999, and they will tell you that is when the culture of the company changed.
This guy was hired after that took place, but maybe some institutional knowledge and corporate conscience still remained.

Gen X pulls its flannel a little tighter around itself. The Olde(r)s and the Youngs are out of their ever-loving minds.

On The Evil Economics Of Judging Teachers
@iantenna From Page 60 of the Harvard paper:
"Predicted score is based on the fitted values from a regression of test score on mother’s age at child’s birth,
indicators for parent’s 401(k) contributions and home ownership, and an indicator for the parent’s marital status interacted
with a quartic in parent’s household income (see Section 4.3 for details). All three figures control for the following
classroom-level variables: school year and grade dummies, class-type indicators (honors, remedial), class size, and cubics
in class and school-grade means of lagged test scores in math and English each interacted with grade. They also control for
class and school-year means of the following student characteristics: ethnicity, gender, age, lagged suspensions, lagged
absences, and indicators for grade repetition, special education, limited English."

Brentwood -Finland- Relatively homogenous population, tighter income distribution, very high standard of living, almost universal emphasis on education. Kids come to school prepared to learn.
Anaheim - US- More economically diverse, dominated politically by a right wing that doesn't like to acknowledge needs of others, dealing with different groups that have different attitudes about education and where the responsibilities lie.

You New Yorkers keep on eating your limp, greasy flatbread. Just like the hot dog, Chicago has innovated, nay, *PERFECTED* the dish.
