Hey Cal fans, you're watching Cal TV Sports Behind the Height. It's three o'clock right now so it's time for some afternoon tea with Brandon Lee. Today I'm going to be sitting down with Makayla Caling of the women's basketball team here at Hospitalian. We're going to be chatting over a nice cup of tea and some banana bread. So if you want to follow my recipe be sure to log on to Instagram and follow me at Brandon's Baked Bites. Pinkies up. Makayla, thank you so much for joining me today. Thank you for having me. So you just wrapped up the Pac-12 tournament and the NCAA tournament is going to start next week. Yep. How are you approaching it and are there any takeaways that you got from the Pac-12 experience that you can bring on to NCAA? Yeah for the NCAA tournament we're really excited you know you know last year we didn't know if we're going to be in the tournament when we're practicing and today we're able to practice and know we have a you know spot we just don't know where we're going yet but we know we're still gonna be playing. You know leaving the Pac-12 tournament we lost to UCLA it's a disappointing game but you know we played really hard and we had a lot of takeaways from that game so you know what's really excited we're happy to be here and we're ready to play. So Cal fans just a little plug for the women's basketball team they're going to have an NCAA selection show watch party this Monday March 12th at Cornerstone on Shadda. The Bears are going to arrive at 3.30 and the show begins at 4. Y'all better be there. So after graduation do you have any plans are you going to go to the WNBA get a Masters in Sociology etc? Yeah I definitely want to continue playing basketball and I've been playing for a really long time I don't want to stop now. Whether it be overseas or in the WNBA you know whatever happens I'll be down I'll really be blessed to have the opportunity to play anywhere. As far as school wise I think right now I'm kind of focused on basketball and I think after you know that kind of career kind of comes to an end I'll pursue you know coming back to school or whatever it may be so right now I'm kind of focused on basketball. Now I know you come from a family a very athletic family both of your parents went to Cal your dad Larry won the NCAA championship in the 110 meter hurdles back in 1981. Your oldest sister Stephanie followed your dad's footsteps and also ran hurdles here at Cal. Your second oldest sister Dominique had a stand-up volleyball career at D.C. Riverside and finally your third oldest sister Alex played basketball at Loyola-Mairmount whose 2,219 career points still ranks second in the West Coast Conference. Yeah yeah. How did your family affect your career and what's the best advice they got you know you know they they they paved the way for me I've been since I was little I've grown up you know going to all their games they tracked me it's the volleyball games basketball games I've been in a gym I've been on the field in the court like my whole life so I think I've just been become accustomed to you know being in that environment and just growing up you know I followed Alex mostly because she's uh she's above me so like when I when she played basketball she was 10 I was playing when I was four so I go to all her practices and I'd be around that a lot I think they inspired me to always play hard and always you know be a beast and be really competitive you know they're extremely competitive people and I wanted to follow them I wanted to be just like them you know so I think that they're just them being them I've just kind of naturally just following their footsteps now I know your family travels and attends almost every single game uh what does it mean to you to see them in the stands cheering you on it means it means a lot to me you know having having that support system everywhere I go whether it be like far far away or down the street um you know I just know that they're always gonna be there they're always on time you know they're always in the same spot so it's just nice to have that look like whether it be a bad game a good game looking over in the stands and seeing their faces always makes me happy and my teammates I love seeing them too the coaching staff love seeing them so now they've they've they've dedicated a lot to me and sacrificed a lot and I'm so grateful for them how many games have they missed overall in your entire career in my entire career four years here they've missed about three games three games that is dedication three games and a lot of gas there's a lot and a lot of airfare as well um finally uh I've seen on social media that before and after big games the team does uh dance uh how did this dance come about and I think you might need to do a demonstration or teach me as well for those watching that don't know what I'm talking about yeah yeah um it's called the stroll yeah so they they actually had it before I got here so I was a freshman I had to learn it and uh this has been like an ongoing thing for a couple years now I guess oh you know we've kind of you know made it a little better modified it a little bit but uh since then like since I got here it's always been a thing and all right Michaela thank you so much for joining me today on afternoon tea with Brandon Lee we wish you the best of luck with the NCAA tournament and your future endeavors thank you for having me and thank you for this good oh thank you be sure to follow me Brandon cake box once again you'll want thanks for tuning into this episode of behind the hype on county sports I'm Brandon Lee I'm Michaela Cowley go Bears


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasegraves.com coming at you with 2020 of Penini Mosaic Football. Four box sell-o-pack break. It's not a single sell-o-pack. It's four boxes of those sell-o-packs. It's where those packs are born. Random team number one. One spot gets you two teams right here, but before we do that, there was an early bird special. If you're one of the first 10 to buy spots in this, you get it, you have a chance at an extra spot. So let's go to the early bird section here. So let's grab your 10 names, put them into a new list, and the name on top, after six times, will get an extra spot in this break. One, two, three, four, five, and six and final time. After six, it's Anthony. Anthony Peretti. After six times, you are the early bird that catches the worm. Next here, with the case. Oh, it's from a fresh case too, ladies and gentlemen. All right, now, let's grab all 16 names here. There's everybody here. And then we'll double you up, because one spot gets you two teams, and we'll roll it and randomize it with all 32 teams. No combos. Let's roll it and randomize both lists. One and a four, five times for each list. We've got World Series Game Four right here going on too, folks. One and a four, five times. One, two, three, four, and fifth and final time. After five, we've got Oliver down to Matt. Let's straight to the... All right, four and a one. One and a four, five times for the teams. One, two, three, four, and a one. After five times, we've got the Jacksonville Jaguars all the way down to the Minnesota Vikings. Jet, I did know that Mike Yostremsky is a little on the older side, a late bloomer. How old is Arzarene? 28? 25. 25? Well, Mike Yostremsky's 30, if you're like his second. That's like Jeff. Yeah. Hey, it took a while, but he's here. He's actually a pretty decent guy. I want to pick a... Are they all stacks of four? Yeah. Okay, so we'll go one, two, three, four, five. Want to do it one more time? One, two, three, four, five. We'll use that Dodger Blue die right there. And it's five. One, two, three, four, five. These are the four we're gonna do. Right here. Next one's posted too.  All right, so we'll leave those back there. And here are the four that we picked right here. Nick will get into that. Let's go back to this. There we go, yeah. All right, so Oliver with the Jags, Matt Lieber with the Patriots. Mike with the Bears, Oliver with the Colts. Chris Parent with the Bengals and the Browns. Adam, you got the Ravens, Matt with the Bills. Adam with the Steelers. Anthony with your early bird spot, the New York football giants. Adam with the Saints. Chris with the Panthers. Almeida with the Packers. Matt with the Buccaneers and the Dolphins. Double last spot, Mojo. Chance to the Finns as well. Chance to maybe some TBs for TB. Almeida with the Rams. Jimmy with the Niners. Adam with my Raiders. Matt with the Chargers and the Broncos. Mike with the Broncos. Mike with the Dows Cowboys. Anthony, your other early bird spot, Falcons. Keanu with the Texans. Anthony with the Washington football team. Matt with New York Jets. Christopher with the Cardinals. Adam with the Lions. Anthony with the Chiefs. Adam with the Seahawks. Kike Hernandez with a hit. Rip down the left field line. Playoff Kike. Coming through. Jimmy with the Titans. Keanu with the Eagles and Matt Lieber with the Minnesota Vikings. Mike Krasinski has the Bears up for trade if anybody's interested in Chi Town. Texans and Eagles are up for trade as well. So there's Mike and the Bears. I know it's kind of hard to see, but if you need me to call out a team or a name or something like that, let me know. Texans and Eagles are also up for trade. Here's Keanu with the Texans and the Eagles. Bears for Eagles maybe. I got a box right here on my table as well. FYI. Michael counters with the Bears for Eagles perhaps. Keanu counters that with Bears for Texans. No on the Texans. All right, then let's roll. All right, some trade chatter there, but no deals were done. It's all good. TWC trade window closed. Trades don't have to happen all the time. Got extra on there. Today, I know. I think I guessed I won with two, didn't I? Oh, maybe I did win with five plus. I don't know. I don't think we're winning $25,000 today. All right, here's the final printout right here, folks. Thanks for watching. Next four box of this stuff in the store right now. All right, so these have the exclusive pink camo refractors, which are pretty cool, very similar to the basketball. At some point, why don't you be like, get off my driving range? Get that film through off my driving range. Actually, I'm sure that's happened a lot. This is the only stuff that they kept. What day is it today? 24th? That target near my house opens tomorrow. I gotta look for, I gotta see if I could buy myself some of this, some of this, some trading cards, Pokemon cards, maybe some Prism Blasters. It seems like they stock these target cards when it's the day to go. All right. And I don't know if they have like cards stocked for their grand opening. What's getting violent? The hunt for trading cards? Yeah, there's Lyme, there was a fight between the person who stocked it and one of the flippers. Wow. I think it got like physical. They were just like, So a lot of Walmart's are saying we're not carrying pork cards anymore. Because they don't really profit off of it. Yeah, they don't profit off of it, so it's just a hassle. It's just like, yeah. Well, visit your local hobby shop, support your local hobby shop. We're in Hermosa Beach. Jaspy's casebreaks.com, Jaspy's.com. Good luck. Here we go. Short franchise history, how long has it been? I don't know, 20 years? 25 years? 30 years. Is that short? I mean, compared to the Dodgers, they've been around for like over 100 years. But it's not like national, they're not the shortest. Right, right, right. Yeah, I don't know what Joe Buck's point was there. He's ripping in the balls. You think it just looks like grapefruits up there? Just like big, juicy grapefruits, going, that must be the coolest feeling, to see a baseball that big and just moving at 60 miles per hour and everything just slows down. There's Clyde Edwards-Ylair, Anthony, Mariota, back off the IR, I think. There's our first Joe Burrow, NFL debut Joe Burrow, and that goes to Chris Parent, who got this randomized to him. I wrote Pick Your Team on this. This is a random team break, folks. Sorry, my bad. Look at the teams once again. So obviously these are the vet commons, these won't ship. That will ship, because that's a green parallel. Those aren't number, that's how I'm kind of breezing by those. Inserts obviously will ship, and then rookies of course will ship. If you're not familiar with it, that'll ship, that'll ship, and I'll sleeve up rookie parallels, but all the base rookies of course will ship. You know, Tyler Boyd will ship. Everything in these bonus packs will ship. All right, Jett, what's up? Justin Herbert secretly, the person who hurt Tyrod?  Chance Zara was just an accident. I mean, probably wasn't an accident. What do they say the most, the simplest answer tends to be the most, someone's razor. The simplest answer is usually the right answer. Clyde Edward D. Lair, NFL debut. Chiefs, Anthony. Oh, look at this, Adam Thielen Genesis. Yeah, Occam's razor. I think there's a K in there or something. I don't know how to spell it either. There's a K in there somewhere. There's Adam Thielen Genesis. That's a super short print. SSP for the Vikings, that'll be for Matt Lieber. Green DeAndre Swift for Adam Cupperman and the Lions. Well, Michael P. Ryan, Green for the Jets. Will he get more run out there without Leveon Bell on that team? Maybe we'll see this weekend. An NFL debut to a tag of Viola Silver. That is for Matt Lieber.  Their CD lamb, Mosaic for the Cowboys, Mike Grzinski with that one. I think they call it the Mosaic pattern. Bonus packs, Pink Camo's. Kevin is there tonight? I don't think he's there tonight. I think he's traveling. Well, no, I think he left on Friday, yesterday. Hey, was he at work yesterday? Yeah, yesterday was, no. So I, yesterday was Friday, he was. So I think he left today. I think he's looking for tickets for game Sunday or the Monday, Tuesday game, if necessary. And the little asterisk, if necessary. Jay Cano 89, hello, welcome. Nice. I hope so too. I hope so too. We've got, we've got time to do it. That's for sure. Jaspy's casebreaks.com, that's a lot of fun. We just have to do those two quick number block randomizers and then we're in break sale on that. So all of these Pink Camo's are parallel. So even if they're, they're vet commons or retired players, they'll definitely ship. Bye Jackie. You're coming in Tuesday? Next? Tomorrow? I'll see you then.  It's like, when's Kevin coming in? I don't know. He's at the, I know, I don't know if he's at the game tonight, maybe tomorrow. Tonight. I'm gonna take a tour of this house. I can't be. Okay, thanks. Can't be that much. Wow, I thought that was. Yeah, I thought like, where'd that go? But like, nobody reacted. So that looked weird. It looked weird, yeah. I thought they were just shocked. This is a full box. And the corresponding Pink Camo's right here. All right, RTR, what's going on, real time? Oh, that ghost is terrifying. Ghost emoji, easy with that. We're trying to break here.  To a tag of Viola, NFL debut. Matt Lieber with the Dolphins. Isaiah Simmons-Green. Stefan Diggs-Silver. Am I missing any big NFL news? The eve of the NFL Sunday of another NFL week. Have I missed any big news? Bills' Kevin Knox test positive and three other tight ends for the Buffalo gets, wow. Raiders activate the four offensive linemen who had contact with Trent Brown. I don't know if Trent Brown's playing. I think Jonathan Abrams not in. This is gonna be weird. How am I supposed to bet on sports with all this? Or Dawson Knox? Why did I say Kevin Knox is a basketball player? Yeah, Nick told me about the Daniel Jones and Saquon Barclay hanging out in Masclis, out in public. Yes, Logan, triple threats will break tonight. So hopefully everyone buys spots. We've got about, I don't know, hour and 15 minutes left in the show. That's plenty of time to fill that triple threats. NFL debut mosaic pattern for Chris Parent and the Bengals. Browns at Bengals, who does everyone have there? Browns are minus three, home favor or road favorites. I kind of like the short home dog or cat, if you will. This will also go to you as well, Chris Parent. Jets asking, is Jake Fromm even gonna play ever? Like what's the point of having him? Well, it's kind of smart to have an extra quarterback in case someone gets injured. There's a tour right there. And guess what? If Jake Fromm marinates behind Josh Allen does well, you can trade him for assets, draft picks. There's two at Tag of Viola. Some teams prefer the younger backup to a younger quarterback so they can kind of grow together in the locker room, in the QB meeting room. I think that's important. Jonathan Taylor NFL debut. Yeah, the Packers, well, if Aaron Rodgers keeps playing like he did last week, Logan, they'll definitely need this kid to come up sooner rather than later. How quickly Packers fans forget about last week. That's what happens when the Packers face a decent defense. That's not gonna be good for their playoffs. Hopes. It was Rodgers' fault? Get him out. It wasn't Rodgers' fault. Rodgers can do no wrong. Getting coaches fired. Never his fault. It's always the front. Joe Burrow, Pink Camo, NFL debut. Bangles, Chris Parent, Clyde Edward DeLair, Pink Camo, Chiefs, Anthony Peretti. Got a nice Jonathan Taylor. Jalen Hertz might get a little bit of action. Brad is wary of Seahawks Cardinals. Seattle plays well in prime time, but Arizona has been playing it as well as division rival. Yeah, what's the line on that? Yeah, Seahawks also road favorites. Seahawks minus three and a half. Christian, for the random number blocks, I think I have a good chance at getting something or is it like hit or miss? Every single thing on jaskiescasebreaks.com is hit or miss. There's a Justin Herbert right there, but you can't win if you don't play. And a lot of people play in that triple threads. There must be a reason why, because the chase is worth it. There's our first Justin Herbert from Matt Lieber and the Chargers. Come on, Pedro Baez. I'm having Pedro Baez. Why does Dave Roberts keep going to that guy? NFL debut, Justin Herbert. Matt Lieber with the Chargers. He does, Nick Alvin. I mean, he's fine in the regular season, but every postseason, Dodgers wanna, Dave Roberts and the team wants to keep putting him into these high leverage situations. And we've seen the story so many times. This was just once or twice. I mean, I wouldn't really say too much, but it seems like it's just, it has happened so many times before, and yet they keep doing it. NFL debut, Green, Bangles, Chris Parent. Right, he's consistent in the wrong way, yeah.   And why is Pedro not thriving in positions like this? It's a little bit of both. No, there's a lot of baseball left. Dodgers have the top of the seventh, eighth, and not, yeah, there we go. About three innings left, but still. Chase Young Silver for the Washington football team. That's for Anthony. I don't think he can strike out this guy though. Clyde Edwards E. Lair, Pink Camo. Jalen Hurts, NFL debut. Clyde Edwards E. Lair, Pink Camo. NFL debut, Pink Camo, Joe Burrow. CD Lam is a rookie. Jalen Hurts, NFL debut. Antonio Gibson and LaVisca Chanel Jr. for the Jaguars. That'll be for Oliver Soria. Antonio Gibson for Anthony and the Redskins. Jalen Hurts with going to Keanu and the Eagles. CD Lam going to Mike G and the Dallas Cowboys and another Jalen Hurts right here for Philadelphia, Keanu. There's NFL debut, Joe Burrow. Chris Parent with the Bengals, all these add up. So do these. NFL debut, Clyde Edwards E. Lair, Anthony. Is he still the leading, I think he is. I don't know who else it would be. Who is the leading rookie rusher? He's been playing pretty well, especially if Kansas City starts leaning more towards the run, which is what I read somewhere in an article that defenses were playing further back, right? Like these are your secondary, they're playing further back, right? Because they don't want to get beat by the home's throwing. So then it's guys like this who could maybe get there. We get to where they need to be. Here's the final cello box. And we've got another four box break in this in the store if you want to, if you feel like doing another one of these ladies and gentlemen, we are running out of time though, folks. We don't have too much time left. And there's no late night tonight. We had a couple late, a few late nights this week. But no late night tonight. Just be normal hours today. So if you want to make something happen, make it happen now. We've got to start moving breaks now on jaskyscasebreaks.com. Joe Burrow Green, Chris Parent, Bangles. Got to grade some of these too, Chris. I think that'd be a good idea. NFL debut, silver, Jacob Eason. Maybe this was the game where I should have bet will there be extra innings? Yes. Jacob Eason, silver goes to Oliver Soria and the Colts. There's little Michael P. Ryan. Maybe he gets a little more action this week. We need some bright spots for the Jets. I think this guy could be the one to deliver. I think Denzel Mims has come down. Ooh, there you go, Corey Cedar, lead off hit. Brian Edwards out another week, by the way. Rugs is healthy though. That offensive line. Tig, what's going on? How are you? Maybe this guy will come back too. Denzel Mims, Kenneth Murray Rookie. Ooh, Denzel Mims is appearing tomorrow. Okay, all right. Adam Cupperman with the Jets report. That's his team. All right, so let's see a lot of... I want Sam Darnold slinging it around. I want Denzel Mims with some catches. Maybe a TD, or at least one ESPN highlight type play. I want them grinding it out with the Michael P. Ryan. That'd be hashtag good for the hobby. I mean, Chase Claypool kind of came out of nowhere, right? And Darnold will play tomorrow. So his wing, I think he had a busted wing. I think his wing is okay now. I think the Jets are plus 10. I think they were plus 13 at some point. People on the Jets? That could be interesting. I mean, at some point the players themselves just have to say eff it and just start like, just really take imagine of their own hands, start grinding it out. DeAndre Swift, Rookie. Henry Ruggs. Clyde Edward DeLair. Joe Burrow. Yeah, it was at 13 at one point, right? I think the bill, you have to lay 13 points or something like that with the bills. But maybe the public thought that's just way too much. You gotta make Jets 14 points. Maybe you have to take that just on principle. Just do the rest of these. Nice, Justin Turner. Oh, Turner with the wheels. I guess his hamstring's okay. All right, there's Clyde Edward DeLair, Pink Camo for the Chiefs. A lot of these pink camos do really nicely on the secondary market. NFL debut, Joe Burrow. I don't know, bills had a rough day at the office the other week though, right? They're not perfect. It's Joe Burrow. Maybe there's Pride. Joe Burrow, Chris Parent, Bangles. Adam's like, if 13 sounds like too much, then you haven't watched the Jets this season. Yeah, but Denzel Mims, it's 5-3. 5-4, they just scored a run. I don't know, the market is moving. Why is the market moving? Other people might be thinking the same thing. Wait, do I have any, I don't know if I'm logged into that particular thing or not. Do I have numbers for you? I don't know why it moved. 39% of the bets are on, of actual bets placed is on the Jets, but only 29% of the money is on the Jets. You know, so that's interesting. But yeah, all the books have moved to 10. It's kind of interesting. Yeah, maybe Donald's coming back is a few points. Oh yeah, I mean, I don't think. Come on, Jets, we're not crazy. I don't know, I don't think the Jets are gonna win, but if you're giving the Jets a touchdown and a field goal head start, you start to think. All right, there you go, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry for being a little distracted by the baseball game here, but it is the World Series. But a very nice break, pretty solid stuff, a lot of great rookie parallels that are gonna be top-loader for you too. Some Joe Burroughs, some Clyde Edwards-Hilares, some Justin Herberts. That Genesis Adam Thielen was pretty cool. So a lot of great stuff, you know, there's more than just this. There's all these other great rookies too. So big thanks everybody who got into the action. We've got more of this in the store if you wanna keep chasing these pink camo parallels and whatnot and Genesis's and stuff. Thanks everybody. I'll see you next time for the next break. Go Dodgers.


One of the central problems of aggregate measures of national income and well-being is the fact that so much of it relies on incomes, wealth, production, and consumption measured in terms of dollars. This means only activities that can be tracked, counted, and ranked based on dollar values and production totals will be among those activities reported as having value. These activities include the payment and receipt of wages and the purchasing of consumer goods and services with money. But people also choose many activities that advance their happiness without showing up in any government statistics. Hello, this is Ryan McMakin and you're listening to Radio Rothbard. For the purposes of economic statistics, of course, many things most people consider to be good things do show up in the statistics. We can measure how many people have jobs, what wages are being paid, and how much those workers are producing. We can measure how many houses are purchased, how much people are paying in rent, and how many cars are sold. Most of this is measured in unit totals and dollar amounts. But what about those things that can't be measured? For example, if a parent leaves his or her wage work to stay home and educate a child, that will be measured as a drop in total employment and total wages earned in the economy. Meanwhile, the statistics tell us nothing about how much benefit, that is psychic income, the parent gained by spending time with the child or engaging in other activities we call parenting. Moreover, a parent who stays home may also impact the economy by reducing dollars spent in the marketplace on childcare, meal preparation, and education services. Instead of buying meals at restaurants and professionally provided childcare services, this parent instead provides those services at home without any money changing hands. Thus, the benefits remain off the books and uncounted in terms of national statistics. What the statisticians will see is a drop in revenues for restaurants and childcare services, and we may be told that's a bad thing. Even worse, from the statistician's point of view, the parents may elect to homeschool the child, which means a significant portion of the cost of education will remain unrecorded in the marketplace, and government schools will have less enrollment to report justifying education spending. Naturally, if a large number of parents elect to do the same, this could lead to a significant impact in household income statistics, as many households become single income households or as parents elected to work fewer hours so as to spend more time with children. If this were to happen enough, it is entirely possible that we would hear about a crisis in household income as households in the child raising age range were seeing a decline in incomes and spending. We might even start hearing from experts who go on television talk shows to tell us that public policies must be devised to encourage parents to pursue more wage work and purchase more goods and services. What can't be seen in this sort of analysis, of course, is the fact that the decline in family wages and consumption may only be reflecting choices being freely made by parents to forego wages and consumption so as to increase the parents' perceived benefit of child rearing. We may encounter similar problems when it comes to workers making the decision to retire. After all, when a worker retires, or cuts back his or her hours, wage income naturally goes down. Given uncertainty about the future, the retiree may then also elect to spend less on goods and services such as cars, vacations, and housing. In measures of wages and spending, these activities will show up as a drop in income and in household spending. But what the decision to retire early really shows is that some people preferred leisure time more than earning wages in the marketplace. That is their value to them and how they spent their time just went up because now they're doing something they preferred, which was retirement. The picture is even more complicated in this, however. Not everyone retires voluntarily. Some people retire early because they have to. That is, in some cases, workers become disabled due to old age or illness and either cannot physically work or cannot find an employer willing to hire them. Those people drop out of the workforce, although they might have preferred to keep earning wages. At the same time, some people keep working in the marketplace because they did not save enough in the past to allow for retirement at the present time. And then, of course, there are people who have a sufficient amount of savings to maintain their current standard of living even without their current wages, but nonetheless remain at their jobs because they prefer it to leisure. The benefit of retirement varies depending on whether it is voluntary or due to disability, but how shall we measure this? Government data collection methods offer little in terms of a solution. Surgeonly survey data might tell us a little bit about how many retires do so voluntarily, but even then we can't measure the benefit of retirement in comparison to the foregone wages. That is, we don't really know how much they value retirement. Sometimes workers choose to remain in the workplace, but forgo higher wages in order to gain other non-monetary benefits. For example, some workers prefer jobs that allow for greater flexibility in working hours and more time off. These jobs, however, often pay lower wages. The benefit comes in the form of more leisure and greater control over one's schedule. Non-monetary benefits can also be gained from refusing to relocate to a new location to pursue a higher-paying job. This translates into lower mobility for workers. According to the LA Times, when this happens, quote-unquote, economists worry that, quote, with declining job movement may come slower gains in overall employment, wages, productivity, and ultimately, economic growth, unquote. Well, maybe. It may also be the case that many of these less mobile workers are trading wage gains for gains in terms of family stability and community life that come from staying put. As an April 2019 study from the Federal Reserve concluded, quote, individuals face substantial non-pecuniary cost to moving and that they also place high value on proximity to family and on agreeableness of local, social, and cultural norms, unquote. In other words, workers gain substantial benefit from not moving, even though moving to a, quote-unquote, better job would bring higher wages as measured in dollars. Thus, we find yet again statistical measures of well-being, if measured only in terms of wages and spending, tell us very little about how people truly become better off or at least avoid becoming worse off. As a final illustration of the problem with conventional measures of well-being, we can look to the case of slavery. One of the justifications given for slavery by pro-slavery activists was that slave labor was supposedly more productive than wage labor. According to Jeffrey Rogers Hummel, some slavery defenders saw the intense workloads in long hours endured by slaves as evidence of the system's superiority. As recounted by one Edmund Ruffin, quote, free laborers, if to be hired for the like duties, would require at least double the amount of wages to perform one-third more labor in each day, unquote. The slaves, however, were not quite as convinced of the system's benefits. Hummel notes how after emancipation, quote, women and children abandoned the fields and even black males cut back, unquote, leaving most of the field labor to adult men. Moreover, quote, the total labor supplied by former slaves fell by approximately one-third, unquote. Were we to use modern government accounting methods to measure the contribution of slaves to the economy before and after emancipation, we would likely find emancipation produced a sizable decline to productivity, arguably making the nation worse off. In reality, this isn't what happened at all. As Hummel concludes, quote, here we encounter a dramatic demonstration of the limitations of economic aggregates for measuring well-being. Income per capita went down because people were better off. They were working less or producing household amenities, both of which represented improvements in the quality of life, unquote. The aggregate data doesn't tell us anything about the benefits and psychic incomes earned from not working the fields 14 hours per day. Measuring only worker output, the data would suggest declining productivity and impoverishment. In reality, the opposite was true as most workers demonstrated preference was to work fewer hours. Thus, by working fewer hours, they were doing what they believed, improve their well-being in real terms. Unfortunately, economics as a discipline has suffered from the fact so many of its practitioners have become preoccupied with those things that can be measured, such as jobs and wages, while neglecting the more hidden benefits game from activities like parenting or choosing to not earn a wage.  Competent economists, of course, have not lost sight of this fact, as Murray Rothbard noted in his essay toward a reconstruction of utility and welfare economics, quote, economics does not deal with things or material objects. Economics analyzes the logical attributes and consequences of the existence of individual valuations. Things enter into the picture, of course, since there can be no valuation without things to be valued, but the essence and the driving force of human action and therefore of the human market economy are the valuations of individuals, unquote. Unfortunately for the government number crunchers, many people choose to value things or activities that aren't being added up on spreadsheets. And even if they were, we still wouldn't know how much people value reading a story to a child or living close to family and friends. Moreover, the fact we can know so little about how, why, or when people make certain economic decisions belies the idea that we can formulate economic policy in a way that makes everyone better off. If we believe that policy works when measured money incomes go up, we're measuring success based on a flawed and partial measure. It's time to stop pretending otherwise. Thank you for listening to Radio Rothbard. Have a wonderful day.
