Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago School economists and fellow travelers.
Oh and Field I just read your 12% post-man I thought it was just me. I do not know what it is with so many Black pepole showing their behinds in public spaces-on the subways in NYC, I cringe when I see a group of Black teenagers getting on because it will be Stereotypes-r-Us all the way into Brooklyn. And the Latino kids often run neck in neck when it comes to loud ignorance. As you noted, it is some pathological mess going on with this behavior. Can you imaging a mental health professional going out into the field to interview these subjects? They would either get cussed out or shanked.
