Interestingly, the recent grad employment slump looks very different by gender — the trend is almost entirely driven by young men.

Wow — a new survey from @CommonSense found that 52% of teens regularly use AI companions. This is one AI use case we should be wary of – these types of robot friends have already proven dangerous for kids.

A really interesting chart from @tracyalloway — the share of imputed (instead of observed) prices used in the CPI has shot up from 9% in February to 35% in June. One of the (many) consequences of the DOGE cuts.

One reason why markets are less daunted by Trump’s trade war is that inflation has not yet materialized. My @Morning_Joe Chart

The contrast between the market’s tariff-reactions in April versus now are remarkable. Wall Street is now unphased by most of Trump’s utterances. My @Morning_Joe Chart

Since Trump paused his reciprocal tariffs, the market has continued to climb. Wall Street either isn’t scared of tariffs or doesn’t think they’ll actually materialize. My @Morning_Joe Chart

A great chart from @econjared's latest op-ed which explains why we should be concerned about the debt (and why Trump wants the Fed to lower rates). nytimes.com/2025/07/09/opi…

In 2000, we declared measles eliminated in the US. Now, 2025 already has the highest number of cases since 1992. This is the opposite of progress.

This chart from @DKThomp is a great example of what traditional economic indicators miss when it comes to human welfare. Socializing is an extremely valuable part of life, and Americans are getting less of it these days.

This chart is a bit dated (2016), but it’s interesting that Harvard — despite its conflict with the Trump administration — isn’t among the most liberal universities.
