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.

"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.

Opportunity cost is Econ 101 with real stakes: the cost of a choice is not just dollars spent, but what you gave up. For war, that means not only destruction, but all the prosperity that never gets a chance to exist.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The lesson here isn’t just about phones in schools. It’s about human behavior: Take something away, and people usually replace it with something else.⁣ ⁣ Economists call this substitution.

Americans are struggling just to get by. Yet Trump is focused on toppling foreign regimes. Spending billions of taxpayer dollars overseas won't make rent, groceries, or health care more affordable.

Parents shouldn’t have to worry about whether they can afford the healthcare their children need to survive. But that's what we heard from families in Denver.

Standing up for human rights in America means standing up for human rights everywhere. In Iran. In Lebanon. In Gaza. Our nation must no longer be complicit in the horror of illegal senseless war. Slash the Pentagon budget and end these wars now.
