Some simple economics of the Met Gala: $42 million raised sounds enormous. It is. But economics is about compared with what? If the Met Gala creates far more value for fashion brands than for the museum, then the ticket price is probably too low.

If men's job growth is lagging, one response is straightforward: move toward the occupations that are growing.⁣ ⁣ Labor markets change. Successful workers and societies adapt to those changes.⁣ ⁣ Check out the full analysis: https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/the-pink-collar-economy-is-here

The problem with a gas tax holiday? Lower gas prices encourage more driving.⁣ ⁣ If the goal is relief, send checks based on last year's gas spending instead. Similar help for households, without increasing demand.

The striking claim here isn’t just that AI is useful. It’s that it may be ‘industrial revolution’ scale. If that’s even half right, the issue isn’t one occupation. It’s how work gets reorganized across the economy.

Fed chair: one of the rare jobs where a bad call can echo through the entire world economy. So yes, I am old-fashioned enough to think boyish good looks and "no regrets" might be underqualified.

Debt by itself is a lousy guide. A $500,000 mortgage can be manageable or terrifying depending on salary, rates, and future earnings. Same with countries: the real question isn’t “how much debt?” but “can they carry it?”

Social Security isn't a lockbox problem — it's a demographics problem. Fewer young workers, more retirees. That's the math. Simple, but not easy to fix.

Why do economists obsess over uncertainty? Because waiting is easy. If the news might clear soon, firms delay big irreversible decisions. Multiply that across the economy and growth softens.

Deficits aren’t automatically virtuous or villainous. They’re a tool. The sensible question isn’t “deficit: good or bad?” It’s “what problem is it solving?” Econ is annoyingly context-dependent like that.

"If we don't have immigration and population growth, the number of people who can pay off that debt just went down." That's the key mechanism.

Today marks 77 years of the Council of Europe 🎉 Since 1949, it has united 46 countries around human rights, democracy and the rule of law, creating a common legal space for 700+ million people. 77 years of human rights in practice.

Sen. Kennedy asks if Europe should give Ukraine the $300B in frozen Russian assets and whether America should sell weapons to Taiwan. Yes. Democracies cannot survive by hesitating while authoritarian regimes invade neighbors, threaten allies, and test the limits of our resolve. Vote Democrat.💙

Zeldin said Gore declared "global freezing." The host, an actor, said that. Gore immediately said No. No. No. Zeldin put the actor's words in Gore's mouth. That's not a mistake. That's a paid service for Big Oil. #ClimateScience #AMOC #EPA

Iran claimt dat er een deal in de maak is waarbij Iran en Oman de controle over de Straat van Hormuz krijgen en de VS hun militaire aanwezigheid terugtrekt. Is dat volgens voormalig diplomaat Ron Keller een realistische uitkomst van de vredesonderhandelingen? #pauwendewit
