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?”

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.

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.

"If your local bakery loses one of its ovens, the whole neighborhood ends up having to get by with less bread." That's the whole game. Markets can calm fast; physical production can't.

Right now, the AI boom mostly shows up as investment: chips, data centers, infrastructure. ⁣ ⁣ The real question is whether those foundations eventually help workers and firms do more with less.

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

One more sleep until I can tell you what I've been working on. Can't wait.

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.

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

"You can't say the cost of a puppy is $200 because that was the adoption fee." The Pentagon's $25B price tag does exactly that — it ignores veterans' care, disability payments, and decades of interest. The true cost of war shows up long after the fighting stops.

I can see Niall Ferguson doing that. Well, he's a complete Lord Haw-Haw! Or a Hee-Haw.

Trump’s looked like a guy completely out of his depth since this war began.

Veteran: Trump promised that there would be no wars. So to get into this war, it's such a fundamental betrayal of one of the core tenets of this movement.

DEATH WATCH I have no doubts hundreds of American personnel have been killed I've seen satellite pictures of what happened to those US bases in the region. They were, each and every one, completely destroyed. And CNN has belatedly confirmed it Follow #MOATS 548 #Iran #CNN #USbases #UScasualties

📣 Take action: demand Congress expose the truth behind Trump’s secret donors. Democracy cannot survive when wealthy insiders can quietly buy access while the people are shut out. civicshout.com/p/tell-congr... #PowerToThePeople #TrumpCorruption

Microsoft AI CEO and UBI supporter: "Most of the tasks accountants, lawyers and other professionals currently undertake will be fully automated by AI within 12-18 months" Also him: "UBI is a political and economic measure we have to start talking about in a serious way"

Andrew Yang's been right about a lot of things and he's right about this. We shouldn't be taxing workers so highly when they're in the crosshairs of automation.

"My grand unifying theory of how to fix our politics is Democrats just need a Wemby." "The Democratic Party needs someone who transcends the problems of the party." @timmiller.bsky.social & @dkthomp.bsky.social say Democrats need more than a better message. They need someone voters can believe in.
