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

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

"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.

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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

US attorney for SDNY Jay Clayton defends Trump's taxpayer-funded J6 slush fund: "I don't think we're gonna be talking about this issue in a week because the American people are gonna say, 'Look, they leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him. Okay, we resolved that.'"

We don’t treat workers like suppliers. We are the suppliers! That is the difference between Signalise and traditional agencies. We are a co-op built by the very people doing the work, which means we operate on trust and transparency, not just transactions.
