As incomes rise, spending patterns change.⁣ ⁣ People don't keep buying more wheat or endless washing machines. They spend more on health care, education, child care, and aged care.⁣ ⁣ Check out the full analysis here: https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/the-pink-collar-economy-is-here

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. 🧵

The key distinction is between nominal wages and real wages. Nominal wages are the dollars on your paycheck. Real wages are what those dollars can actually buy.⁣ ⁣ If prices rise faster than pay, you’re going backwards.

If the job interview is "Will you do my bidding?" the answer isn't central bank independence. It's central bank karaoke: the chair just sings the president's tune.

Kevin Warsh once argued for rates that were too high for the economy, and he now seems politically reluctant to contradict Trump. That's a worrying combo.⁣ ⁣ We'll find out soon enough which one shows up to work.

"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.

AI doubles your productivity—go to the beach or make twice as much. As an economist, I love it.⁣ ⁣ But then I talked to my kids. They didn't ask for this. And honestly? I get that now too.

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.

The problem with a gas tax holiday? Lower gas prices encourage more driving.⁣ ⁣ If the goal is relief, send checks based on last year's gas spending instead. Similar help for households, without increasing demand.

We know budget repair is needed to reduce the high interest costs Australia is paying on national debt, but Australians are already doing it tough & cutting income support would only hurt those most vulnerable. A 25% gas export tax is a modest proposal for the use of our national resources.
