AI isn’t the whole story, but it matters. Some sectors are still doing very well, and markets are weighted toward firms whose profits may hold up or improve. The economy is broader than one headline.

Consumer sentiment is near a 75-year low.⁣ ⁣ But increasingly, these surveys may be measuring partisanship as much as economics.⁣ ⁣ In other words, they may be asking “Do you like the president?” as much as “Do you like the economy?”

Announcing: Platypus Economics — a Substack, YouTube channel, and podcast built around one idea: Economics is one of the most useful, surprising, and weirdly beautiful subjects in the world. It belongs to everyone — not just the people who happened to take it in college. 🧵

A terrific sign for business confidence is when "not wiping civilizations off the map" counts as good news. Low bar. Somehow still doing limbo under it.

Here’s the thing—especially on April 15: cutting the IRS isn't some abstract budget trim. It's a tax cut delivered through weaker enforcement. And it mostly goes to people with the most scope to hide income.

Short-run discomfort ≠ long-run harm.⁣ ⁣ Phone bans make students feel worse at first — then better. By year two, well-being rebounds above baseline. Turns out kids (like all of us) just needed time to adapt.

Optimism is not a policy tool. If there’s no clear timeline for resolution, energy markets will price in uncertainty. And uncertainty is costly because firms can’t plan and households can’t budget.

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 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.

"Every time the president leans into belligerence... the stock market falls." Markets can’t vote, but they can mark down the price of risk.

Always keep a tight focus 🧘

You will still be listening to and singing every word of a song that came out this year in 40 years time. And I know this, because I do all the time. You might not remember what you did yesterday but you will still know every lyric of a song from 1983!

All I can say is hahahahahahaha Tony

First Past the Post keeps promising stability and delivering chaos. Governments are elected on a minority of the vote. They impose their agenda without listening to or negotiating with anyone. They fail and collapse. Rinse and repeat. There is a better way. It's time for PR.

Like I said, stopped lol

Elissa Slotkin: "Trump has conducted military operations in 9 places in 15 months. That's more than any President in history. He's shown that he is willing to use force. You can have a debate on if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

This episode was my pick and I went a little outside of our wheelhouse by picking a noir flick from 1955. I’m proud of this one, and I love this film so much. The opening hooked me good, so before you check out our new @cultfilmclub.com episode, see if this opening grabs you the same way…

Trump and his allies are trying to suppress voters, particularly Black Americans, and deny fair representation in Congress. Right now, they are redrawing maps and gerrymandering communities ahead of the midterms. This is an attack on democracy, and we must continue pushing back.
