  I even remember in econ101 my professor brought up the basic analysis, then brought up a really cool example of this where the minimum wage changed in one state but not another in two towns right on the border. It was the perfect econ experiment to prove how supply and demand would cause inflation.

  The next 5 years saw no change despite a 2 dollar an hour increase on one side only - the two towns maintained equal pricing, and no increase to inflation or pricing compared to the typical rate.

  My favorite part was that he managed to be excited about it properly, because it was and is cool science to him when usually economics is trying to analyze how changes happened with way too many variables.

  I mean, kind of? There are system traces of what the squirrels ate that build up, causing weird issues with other software over time. It’s why restarting your computer fixes so many software errors. Part of the close process of the computer is cleaning up most of the squirrel poops.
