"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."

"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.

Two things can be true at once: the U.S. is more energy independent than in the 1970s, and an energy shock can still raise inflation. Independence isn’t immunity.

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.

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.

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.

Short-run discomfort ≠ long-run harm.⁣ ⁣ Phone bans make students feel worse at first — then better. By year two, well-being rebounds above baseline. Turns out kids (like all of us) just needed time to adapt.

"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.

Lemme ’splain: calling it a “big beautiful bill” doesn’t make the maths prettier. If you cut taxes and don’t cut spending, the deficit goes up. That’s not ideology. That’s just arithmetic wearing sensible shoes.

Right now, the AI boom mostly shows up as investment: chips, data centers, infrastructure. ⁣ ⁣ The real question is whether those foundations eventually help workers and firms do more with less.

Montana farmers and ranchers aren’t “winning”. They’re being crushed by high fertilizer prices (Trump’s war) and high input costs (Trump’s tariffs). This fall, Montana can elect Democrats that understand our markets and communities.

Blue is peace, but mine is not Mine is the hush before a storm; the breath drawn deep before the wave breaks The blue I carry is deeper It moves like thought beneath still water, where silence thickens into truth, where loyalty lives w/o asking It anchors me in a world that drifts 9.27.25 MJSolace
