I regret to inform the junior coders that I, an economist with Wi-Fi, have gone on a Claude code bender. Great for productivity. Slightly less great if you’re the young worker trying to get a foot in the door.

Two weeks in, Platypus Economics is doing well. But to really succeed, we need sponsors. It's simple economics, really. Insight: I bet some of my Platypals work in the real world, with real jobs, and advertising budgets. If that's you, reach out: sponsor@platypuseconomics.com

Courts saying “go to Congress” is not courts banning tariffs. It’s courts saying the Constitution still exists. That matters for markets too: the rule of law lowers uncertainty; arbitrary power raises it.

"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.

Higher oil prices are like your worst group project partner: they show up late, make everything more expensive, and then leave the central bank to clean up the mess.

AI is booming. The broader economy, not so much. That matters because workers and small businesses don’t all live inside one tech boom.

Private credit is like plumbing behind the drywall — the water still flows, but you lose the gauges. You might not notice the slow leak until the ceiling stains appear. That's the trade-off worth understanding.

"If what you want is rate cuts, here's the thing you don't do. You don't go and bomb a country in the Middle East upsetting global energy markets and pushing prices up across the board."

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

Private credit now wants retail money: because apparently the lesson from finance was, 'What if we made shadow banking available in family size?'

Despite some claims, the job market right now is struggling. I know this firsthand as a small business owner. It's why I am running for Congress: to end the tariffs and ensure Americans have access to high quality jobs.

Making it harder for people to vote—and for their votes to count—is peak loser behavior. Republicans should be embarrassed they have to go to such lengths to win.
