"I may be a hypocrite, but that doesn't make me wrong about you.". A good friend once said that to me, and I've never forgotten how true down into my bones I felt it.

Raising interest rates to 10% would smother a lot of gambling in this economy.
Finance as entertainment: . “As US option volumes reach records, Tom Sosnoff's tastytrade is selling complex strategies to retail traders through live shows and videos”. What could go wrong?

What makes all the failures doubly insidious is that when progressives eventually try to reverse them, conservatives will demand further concessions for each one. The Left got nothing for the loss of PBS. The Left will get PBS back after a pound of flesh.

What a great summary.
A WORRISOME *FUTURISTIC* JOBS REPORT:. In the newsletter, I wrote about today's labor market data, and how it was not only bad, but bad in a specific way that could portend a more ominous direction of the economy

Donald Trump walking away from a crumbling arena, flag rent in twain, teeming with screaming people is a great allegory for America under his tenure.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;

These people I know wanted to get a new car, I tell them to buy electric, as one of them loves new tech. They tell me needing to plug it in stresses them out. Instead, they buy a luxury Mercedes. Few hundred thousand dollars. They dont drive it much, so one day they get in and.

The right seems to be going through a thought experiment where they try to de-fang "Nazi" and "Facist", by saying they don't care if they're called that, while trying hard to say but not outright say they still don't support those things. A problem is this approach lacks.
We live in a country where people will go on camera and refuse to condemn the Nazi Holocaust while praising fascist dictators. We need to understand what we’re up against. It takes a lot to leave me speechless but….

Insane to me there's no way to drive from South America to North America. You can't even bike it. If I was a billionaire, I'd build the best road through the Darién Gap. The nativists would be big mad, but that's a feature, not a bug.

Suspect we are going to see a housing going sideways or even up as American women keep deciding to forget about a husband, buy a home and go IVF.
The US desperately needs a home construction boom. But it's not happening. New homes completed plunged in June to the lowest level since January 2022. Building permits and housing starts are also at some of the lowest levels since the pandemic. Yes, zoning rule changes would

This is why Napoleon was wildly successful; paved roads for his horse-drawn wagons to move quickly on. That's why Waterloo was such a mistake. He was in Belgium where you can see no blue road lines.
You can drive 84 hours in France and still be in France. The American mind cannot comprehend this

It's more like 10 years of your work. But on the flip side, if you had a student loan Pre-COVID, inflation erased about 20% of your loans value. Giving you back about 5 years worth of work.
Imagine working 9-5 for 50 years. Then the Fed prints 40% of the total money supply and inflates away 20 years of your work.

Our trying to be smug about our views instead of humbly curious, inhibits learning, engenders conflict, and keeps us confidently incorrect.

The idea that Americans who enlist in other countries' armies should be stripped of citizenship is nonsense. Confederates didn't lose citizenship in the 1860s. If other countries did this for enlisting in our army, it would have a chilling effect on some of our best soldiers.

Who can forget how Pennsylvania sent Fetterman to Congress to bolster Israel's genocide and make ICE massive?.
ICE performs an important job for our country. Any calls to abolish ICE are 💯 inappropriate and outrageous.
