As incomes rise, spending patterns change.⁣ ⁣ People don't keep buying more wheat or endless washing machines. They spend more on health care, education, child care, and aged care.⁣ ⁣ Check out the full analysis here: https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/the-pink-collar-economy-is-here

“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.

"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.

Politicians love visible gestures. Economists ask the annoying follow-up: does it work? ⁣ ⁣ On gas tax holidays, the answer was basically no then, and no now.

A gas tax holiday talks about 18.4¢ while ignoring the $1.50 problem. That's politics, not policy. And half of it likely goes straight to oil company profits. Congress knows this. Some just hope you don't.

Deficits aren’t inherently good or bad. They’re a tool. The real question is: what problem are they solving? Econ is annoyingly context-dependent like that.

Economists call this diminishing marginal utility. The first dollars change your life. The billionth doesn't. So the argument stops being about consumption and starts being about power.

Even if Middle East tensions ease, futures markets are signaling oil prices will stay elevated for months — maybe years.⁣ ⁣ That's the "Iran tax." And it's not going away anytime soon, regardless of what the White House says about prices coming down.

"If what you want is rate cuts, here's the thing you don't do. You don't go and bomb a country in the Middle East upsetting global energy markets and pushing prices up across the board."

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