“He failed to understand the interconnectedness of the world economy.” ⁣ ⁣ That was true in the trade war, and it’s true now.

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⁣

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.

Why oil? Because worsening war news tends to threaten energy supply. That pushes oil prices up. So rising oil isn’t just about petrol; it’s a signal about geopolitical risk hitting the global economy.

"Stocks just had a great month because they previously had a terrible month." That’s not a boom; that’s a rebound from a scare.

When politicians zoom in from the whole economy to one carton of eggs, that's not a macro forecast. That's culinary cherry-picking.

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.

Kremlin spokesperson Peskov said the Kremlin sees no risk of fuel shortages from Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries. The denial comes as major plants have halted or cut output and occupied Crimea faces visible fuel pressure.🤣🤣🤣

“Don’t kill the messenger.” Democrats lie to their voters for Israel exactly like Trump lies to the chuds for Israel. They’re the same. Why can’t they tell the truth? Seems like cuz they’re not allowed. They have owners. Just like MAGA.
