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.

This isn’t just about who gets a tax cut. It’s about who bears the long-run burden. Higher prices for basics plus temporary relief is a rotten deal for working households.

Higher oil prices are like your worst group project partner: they show up late, make everything more expensive, and then leave the central bank to clean up the mess.

I regret to inform the junior coders that I, an economist with Wi-Fi, have gone on a Claude code bender. Great for productivity. Slightly less great if you’re the young worker trying to get a foot in the door.

"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.

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.

Opportunity cost is Econ 101 with real stakes: the cost of a choice is not just dollars spent, but what you gave up. For war, that means not only destruction, but all the prosperity that never gets a chance to exist.

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.

"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.

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.

As soon as you’d hear, “Hit it!” and the beat dropped, people already knew what comes next and joined in with the rest of the song. “I’m Rob Base and I came to get down. I’m not internationally known…” Sir…yes you are. RIP, Rob Base. 💗

In my weekly conversation with Chuck Todd, he compared Trump's worldview to that of Wimpy: "I will gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today." It makes a whole lot of sense.

What does that mean in terms of action? Will you refuse to use any services developed or delivered using AI, including the majority of medical services, all internet services, and many movies that include special effects? The oil industry creates suspicion of electric vehicles to maintain power.

TRUMP IS THE KING OF THE PEDOPHILES!!!! #ugliestanddumbestpresidentever #trumpsucks #BLUEWAVE26

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.
