Dawn of Nudge Era in Washington DC

With Cass Sunstien camping in the White House even if some nudges of skeptical others like this one are awesome!!

"
Today, DHS announced that it is changing the default setting for its payroll statements from paper to electronic. This means employees will receive their regular payroll data electronically instead of getting stacks of paper earnings statements by mail.  By making e-statements the default option, while giving employees the option to opt out in favor of the paper statement, we hope to increase the percentage of federal employees who use this approach while saving the taxpayers’ money."
