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

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.

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.

The key distinction is between nominal wages and real wages. Nominal wages are the dollars on your paycheck. Real wages are what those dollars can actually buy.⁣ ⁣ If prices rise faster than pay, you’re going backwards.

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.

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.

A 60-year low in sentiment is a big deal because the baseline is already tough: this survey has lived through recessions, inflation, wars, and financial crises. And yet this is worse.⁣ ⁣ Read the full analysis on Substack: https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/consumer-sentiment-hits-a-record

Debt by itself is a lousy guide. A $500,000 mortgage can be manageable or terrifying depending on salary, rates, and future earnings. Same with countries: the real question isn’t “how much debt?” but “can they carry it?”

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.

Denver, CO — Hackers accessed newly powered crosswalk push-buttons, triggering audio messages insulting Donald Trump (while still announcing when it was safe to cross). "Trump Murders Children." "The Walk Signal is on. Fuck Trump"

Going to be thinking about this House Call from Swerve Strickland for a long, long time ...

Remember when we had a POTUS who considered himself president to ALL the people, even if they disagreed with him, and didn't call them names, or tell people to 'beat the hell out of them' - who was actually presidential?! Good times...

Trump’s OPM wants to impose NDAs across the fed workforce. It isn’t really about protecting “confidential government information.” It's about intimidation and making public servants think twice before exposing misconduct, waste, abuse, or criticism the administration doesn’t want the public to hear

Argentina’s far-right government blames Indigenous Mapuche communities for the wildfires that have devastated Patagonia in recent years. But judicial investigations have found no evidence to support this – despite officials suggesting links to “terrorism”. The real evidence points elsewhere. ⬇️

Russian forces tried to trick Ukrainian troops near Vovchansk with a truck and trailer converted into an improvised pontoon crossing. Drone operators from the 57th Brigade’s 2nd Battalion and other units destroyed it.

Legend of Heroes' quest spanned multiple chapters filled with plenty of grind-filled leveling, strange twists, and traditional turn-based gameplay taking you on a grand adventure. A neat gem of an RPG filled with brutal beasties along with sweet and sour ear candy, especially for the TG-16 CD crowd!

Just voted YES on the War Powers Resolution to end Trump's unfettered ability to wage war in Iran. It failed by one vote. One. Vote. Last time, the margin was worse. We're gaining ground and we'll keep at it until Congress does its job and upholds the Constitution.
