When your #businessmodel extracts profits from customer pain points that is bad news. When the customer can't understand the pricing model, that is bad news. When your model hasn't evolved in decades, despite a flurry of changes to the external environment, that's bad news. 2/6

Important chart. S&P 490 has had basically no earnings growth since 2022, despite rampant inflation. It’s just 10 companies doing really well, while the broader economy is in contraction in real terms.

The @GOP and @TheDemocrats are playing a dangerous game here. History is riddled with lessons about county's downfalls after citizens feel their voices are deliberately being squashed. https://t.co/J3ZeP6fFtj

Given the recent attention on #DOGE and @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk efforts to improve government efficiency it’s worth revisiting one idea on how to *reasonably* get the government’s spending under control. @GOP and @TheDemocrats take inspiration re: reasonable compromise
NEW from me: When I criticize lawmakers for refusing to address soaring long-term debt, many respond "OK, so where's your plan?" Well, here is my 30-year plan to stabilize the federal debt.👇 Specifically, its an update to my 2019 blueprint. 🧵 https://t.co/uOtjOdyFPp

Tariffs are a terrible idea based on populism, not economic principles. Everyone understands that. Period. The. End.
"Trump's plan would cut the GDP by 8.9 percent. Let me put that in perspective for you: This is roughly twice the amount the GDP went down during the financial crisis. So we would be looking at something between a recession and a depression." @SteveRattner

Yup. Come on @GOP, get over the populist rhetoric and help invest in the future.
Occasional reminder that one of China's biggest fears is that someday the United States might actually fix its broken immigration system

Investments horizons and capex are aided by #regulatory consistency which allows for more faith in #ROI projections. Too frequent changes to regulatory environment causes unnecessary paralysis.
Exclusive: Oil companies are conveying an unlikely message to the GOP and its presidential candidate: Spare President Biden’s signature climate law

Oh @Patriots - why call 2 long throws on 2nd + 3rd down after letting full playclock run down after 1st down run of 7 yrds. Now @MiamiDolphins have time + timeouts on their side. @GregABedard has been all over SVP’s lack of cohesive play calling for weeks.

TFW: Your kids spend an hour outside in the #BatonRouge weather the morning of their state standardized testing waiting for a school bus that never comes. Tough to have faith in a future with such an underfunded and broken system @FirstStudentInc @ebrpschools @kenilworthstorg

Great background on how #ac influenced #architecture’s move toward standardization and minimal regional differences.
Suddenly traditional architecture (which arose from necessity rather than choice) was obsolete. Without air conditioning it would be impossible to build the same buildings in every region and city on earth — now, aided by globalisation, that's exactly what we've done.

Addiction, homelessness, mental health and low level crime aren't 4 separate issues. It's one big, vicious cycle with few easy answers. But one straightforward step probably would help: automatic enrollment of the incarcerated into Medicaid just before release. There's a robust
