Greetings

by Ryan Avent

Let me also thank Matt for having me this week. In addition to being a SUPERTRAIN co-conspirator, Matt’s links have been crucial in building the audience for my little personal blog. I don’t know if that makes him my blogfather, but it was a really helpful. And I don’t know how my body reacts to bullets. My working assumption is — badly.

As Matt mentioned, I write about economics, but I also focus on urban planning and environmental issues. To save time, I usually try and cover all three at once. Like Brian, I’m amazed by Matt’s versatility and prolificacy, and I anticipate falling short of his standards on both counts. But hey, he got three of us, and he’ll probably be unable to resist putting up five posts a day of his own.

Anyway, glad to be writing for you. Hope you enjoy it.

    Are we sure this isn’t still Matt?

    Welcome aboard Ryan. Regarding bullets and weaknesses to them, I direct you to this delightful panel from the 1940 issue of “Lightning Comics”.

  3. Ted Says:

    When you say “prolificacy,” isn’t that basically the same word as profligacy?

    This guest posting stint is very strange: I am simply unused to the idea of reading so many positive comments about Matt Yglesias on this blog.

    I have an urban planning question. I just moved to Las Vegas for a job. Here’s my question: what’s with this city? Is there any way/chance of making Vegas more hospitable to locals?
