Here’s the thing—especially on April 15: cutting the IRS isn't some abstract budget trim. It's a tax cut delivered through weaker enforcement. And it mostly goes to people with the most scope to hide income.

"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.

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

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?”

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.

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.

"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.

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

If you remove phones, you haven’t removed boredom, status competition, or conflict. You’ve just changed the setting. That’s why the first-year effects can look messy.

The striking claim here isn’t just that AI is useful. It’s that it may be ‘industrial revolution’ scale. If that’s even half right, the issue isn’t one occupation. It’s how work gets reorganized across the economy.

Tim, thank you for saying what needed to be said. Every word was true. Keep speaking up. This man wraps himself in religion while practicing none of its values, and his audacity in attacking the Pope, after demanding that religious leaders be left alone, exposes exactly the kind of hypocrite he is.

"Sheriff" ANDY GRIFFITH talks in 1972 about the possibility of celebrity power being turned into corrupted political power. Although he’s talking about the excellent movie, A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957) - this is about as prescient as it comes, for 47 years later, "The Apprentice" TV show premiered.

Are deep retrofits a good idea? We can quantify the cost of a project, the number of homes delivered, the time to delivery - but the carbon cost of demolishing instead of retrofitting isn't given a value. Until we have that, how can we decide?
