Economists call this diminishing marginal utility. The first dollars change your life. The billionth doesn't. So the argument stops being about consumption and starts being about power.

This isn’t just about who gets a tax cut. It’s about who bears the long-run burden. Higher prices for basics plus temporary relief is a rotten deal for working households.

A gas tax holiday talks about 18.4¢ while ignoring the $1.50 problem. That's politics, not policy. And half of it likely goes straight to oil company profits. Congress knows this. Some just hope you don't.

Bottom line: the issue isn't only what Iran can do. It's that everyone now knows what Iran can do. Revealed vulnerability changes bargaining power.

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.

The lesson here isn’t just about phones in schools. It’s about human behavior: Take something away, and people usually replace it with something else.⁣ ⁣ Economists call this substitution.

Wall Street is basically my mum with a report card: expected a D, got a C, called it progress.

Pete Hegseth’s focused on the cost of the bomb. I’m more interested in the size of the economic crater.⁣ ⁣ And that crater may be 10 to 100 times larger.⁣ ⁣ For many families, that translates into thousands — perhaps tens of thousands — of dollars.

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.

Huge thanks to Brian O'Keefe and @nytimes.com for taking this seriously. To my team at Initial Digital. To @betseystevenson.bsky.social, who is willing to bet the family savings on a dream. And to YOU, for coming along for this adventure.
