The Macro Musebot can answer all your serious macro questions as well as the more whimsical ones. For example, I asked it to randomly pick three past guests of the podcast and tell me a joke about them walking into a bar. It picked @PeterContiBrown, @anatadmati, and @LevMenand:…

The USW, which vigorously supports the Jones Act (which hobbles US shipping/shipbuilding) & US steel protectionism (which hobbles US manufacturers, incl shipbuilding) now wants tariffs ("fees") & subsidies for US shipbuilding. You can't make it up. ft.com/content/62f902…

It’s Sun, Mar 10, 2024 WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained by the FSB Mar 29, 2023. 347 DAYS AGO. Journalism is not a crime! POTUS: “We will…work around the clock to bring home Evan & Paul (Whelan), Americans being unjustly detained by the Russians” #IStandWithEvan

Unfortunately it turns out that most of the answers to our big national problems right now -- Trump, the debt, the dangerously rabid administrative state -- are the result of Congress failing to do its duty. But it really is literally that simple.
Once again, Congress is appropriating your money for undeserving purposes. Note especially the abuse of emergency designation (@wayne_crews)

Time for some inflation spaghetti graphs! As some economists have predicted, PCE inflation is showing more signs of progress than CPI inflation. This is due in large part to the fact that PCE is less distorted by misleading housing price statistics than CPI.

Oregon passed the Death with Dignity Act in 1997, becoming the first state to legalize medical aid in dying (MAID). But even today, forty states would imprison healthcare professionals who provide the kind of support Marc received last Sunday.
For years, Marc would tell my mom he couldn't go on another day. But the next day, he'd feel a reprieve and push through, eager to see our lives and the world develop. Last summer, though, as his reprieves waned, he started discussing medical aid in dying (MAID).
