Me: Well, yes.

Trade and spatial economists may remember an earlier draft called "On the existence and uniqueness of trade equilibrium." We (finally) figured out how to go beyond constant elasticity ("gravity") systems!
Need to prove the uniqueness of a model with lots of agents and outcomes? Here are new and easy-to-verify conditions. Underneath the hood: a multidimensional extension of Banach’s fixed point theorem, from

I realize that no one asked me, but I want to go on the record that I feel it's wildly inappropriate for the President of the United States to be bragging about the ratings of his press conferences when people are dying.
“President Trump is a ratings hit. Since reviving the daily White House briefing Mr. Trump and his coronavirus updates have attracted an average audience of 8.5 million on cable news, roughly the viewership of the season finale of ‘The Bachelor.’ Numbers are continuing to rise...

Terrifying.
Moment to remember.
Q to Trump: Would you condemn white supremacists?
Trump doesn't answer the question & brings up ANTIFA.
Wallace: Will you condemn white supremacists?
Trump: "Proud Boys, stand back & stand by."
That is not a condemnation by any stretch of the imagination.

and Caue Dobbin!
3 economists ran the numbers on Trump's border wall.
They found it's a bad investment.
-It reduces GDP
-It has only a tiny impact on stemming illegal immigration
-It costs more $$ to build than workers get back in the form of higher pay

Good question! I don't believe that discussion has come up amongst editors, so I think either way is fine. If you do update the draft, though, I would include a cover letter mentioning how the draft has changed since its submission to a top 5.

I disagree with this take. It's not "spreading rumors" to report a personal experience. And rather than criticizing a junior faculty for doing so, it seems more helpful to take it as reminder that even the best senior mentors can work harder to be more inclusive.
