Kids often pick up on something economists downplay: people care not just about prosperity, but about whether technologies like AI are changing the world in ways that no longer feel predictable or secure.

The problem with a gas tax holiday? Lower gas prices encourage more driving.⁣ ⁣ If the goal is relief, send checks based on last year's gas spending instead. Similar help for households, without increasing demand.

If there’s a water shortage, don’t subsidize showers. If there’s a blackout, don’t make AC cheaper. If there’s an oil shortage, don’t cut gas taxes. Prices are helping signal scarcity. A gas tax holiday weakens that signal right when it matters most.

A windfall profits tax sounds great as a one-off.⁣ ⁣ But once investors expect it to happen again, it's no longer a windfall tax—it's just a profits tax. And that can discourage the investment you actually want.

"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.

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

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.

“There is no price tag in the economy as tall as gas prices, and that you pass as often.”⁣ ⁣ Visibility matters. Economics isn't just about prices; it's about attention. Gas prices shape how people feel about the economy because they're impossible to ignore.

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.

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.

Eden Hazard on replacing Ronaldo: “I never went to Real Madrid to replace him. The media created that narrative. I have completely different style. I couldn’t score 60 or 70 goals a year, in fact, I barely scored that many in my entire career. I went there to play like Eden, not to replace Ronaldo."

Ending the flu vaccine requirement is incredibly stupid. Our military has implemented safe & healthy vaccines for nearly 250 years. Hegseth’s putting our soldiers, sailors, and airmen at great risk.

Yesterday, Christian Nationalist Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) said, "Look, January 6 is an issue that was made up in the first place...That was a staged thing from day one...there was a riot there but it was a self made riot by members who hate Trump. It was made up." h/t @acyn.bsky.social
