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.

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.

"The big story right now is oil. The next story is food." ⁣ ⁣ That's the transmission channel people miss: if fertilizer is "caught on the wrong side of the Strait of Hormuz," food prices can be next.

Fed chair: one of the rare jobs where a bad call can echo through the entire world economy. So yes, I am old-fashioned enough to think boyish good looks and "no regrets" might be underqualified.

Deficits aren’t automatically virtuous or villainous. They’re a tool. The sensible question isn’t “deficit: good or bad?” It’s “what problem is it solving?” Econ is annoyingly context-dependent like that.

Social Security isn't a lockbox problem — it's a demographics problem. Fewer young workers, more retirees. That's the math. Simple, but not easy to fix.

"Every time the president leans into belligerence... the stock market falls." Markets can’t vote, but they can mark down the price of risk.

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.

The world has evolved while public transport is stuck in the 1950s. Public transport would be OK for more people if it included autonomous taxis & shuttle buses of various sizes - including autonomous weatherproof single-seat taxis for people on prescription meds that impair driving judgement.

Members of Congress asked about accountability. Bondi deflected and pointed to… the stock market. Justice isn’t measured by the Dow Jones. Survivors deserved truth but instead they got excuses and her performance for Dear Leader. Just pathetic.
