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.

Since Trump returned to office, 86% of net new payroll jobs have gone to women. Women now hold slightly more nonfarm payroll jobs than men — 50.02%.⁣ ⁣ The labor market has shifted. The question is whether our policies and politics have noticed.

Think of an oil shock like a stone tossed in a pond. First splash: gasoline. Then the ripples: airfares, delivery costs, packaging, groceries, construction materials.⁣ ⁣ The ripples are real. Just give them a moment to spread.

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 platypus has a sixth sense — it picks up signals invisible to everyone else. That's what good economics gives you. The promise: see clearly in murky waters.

Two things can be true at once: private credit isn't identical to 2008-era shadow banking, and some of the same vulnerabilities may be creeping back. Similar enough to inspect closely.

Economists call this diminishing marginal utility. The first dollars change your life. The billionth doesn't. So the argument stops being about consumption and starts being about power.

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⁣

The economy right now is doing that thing where it says “I’m fine” while white-knuckling the steering wheel and taking 8 attempts to parallel park.

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

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.
