I am a very serious economist with very serious thoughts about the future of the United States.

Care work is often treated as somehow less "real" than making tangible goods. Nonsense. It's physically demanding, emotionally demanding, and often highly skilled. That's real work, mate.⁣ ⁣ Check out the full analysis here: https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/the-pink-collar-economy-is-here⁣

A windfall profits tax sounds great as a one-off.⁣ ⁣ But once investors expect it to happen again, it's no longer a windfall tax—it's just a profits tax. And that can discourage the investment you actually want.

Sen. Warren: "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?" Handsome Kevin: "ummm... errr... " His response raises real questions about whether Warsh is independent of the President and if he has the courage to tell hard truths.

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

Even if Middle East tensions ease, futures markets are signaling oil prices will stay elevated for months — maybe years.⁣ ⁣ That's the "Iran tax." And it's not going away anytime soon, regardless of what the White House says about prices coming down.

"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.

A B+ economy with a recession-sized deficit is like showing up to a Sunday barbecue in full scuba gear. Technically you’re dressed, but something doesn't add up.

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.

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis and his efforts went unrecognised for 50 years. Then, in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he had rescued, who were now adults. Original post

Ramping at Queensland hospitals is still an ongoing problem 18 months into the Crisafulli government. The problem of hospital overload is complex & requires much more work from the parliament than an opposition simply winning government. #qldpol

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

Trump has openly stated that he doesn’t give a damn that Americans are struggling financially. Compounding THAT insult, he makes it even harder for the people with a scam so revolting that it beggars belief. By fleecing the American People of billions of dollars, he’s laughing at you all.
