In case anyone was still wondering about whether Covid vaccines had any impact on births (this was a big reason for vaccine hesitancy for some) I've done what I think is the most rigorous analysis to date on it.

I also debunk some misleading claims on the subject.

That will lead to stricter regulation. Is that a good idea? I dig into the details of their estimate, and a critique by famed economist David Friedman: https://maximumtruth.substack.com/p/whats-the-real-cost-of-c...
Averaging the two forecasts together also gives even higher accuracy.

If you are in high-income, it links to a page that tells you how to figure out AMT yourself.

FYI that is a bit of an oversimplification. See the AMT page on TaxPlanCalculator.com/static/AMT.html to see if it really eliminates your AMT in that range.

That means you save $0 compared to current system. (Maybe obvious, but it retains format of the boxes for all the bills.)

You will see the results of the calc are consistent with NYT's, except TaxPlanCalculator.com actually takes you exact info. NYT forces you into buckets -- "married 2 kids" is their only option.

TPC also first out, on Fri night, and budget $0 + server costs!
