1. My newsletter BIG on monopoly power just went paid. You should subscribe. I'm surprised by the outpouring of support, but I shouldn't be. People hate monopolies because we hate being dependent on another's will. It's the humiliation. It's this image.

The inflation data released today is telling us one important thing - greedflation is back. And if Trump doesn't get a handle on it, his Presidency will go the way of Biden's.

The producer price index had bad higher-than-expected numbers today. But much of the increase was due to higher profit margins. And why wouldn't it show that? That's what Trump wants.

Wolfers, by the way, is one of the key advisors for @neeratanden's Project 2029. When I saw him privately give advice to the Congressional Budget Office, he told them to get Congress to vote for NAFTA-style trade agreements because they could bring world peace and cure cancer.

Prompt: Find the least appealing way of criticizing Trump's pick to run the Bureau of Labor statistics. Involve snobbery and a worship of credentials, and act like you're the teacher's pet.
Let's focus on qualifications. Antoni finished grad school 5 years ago at Northern Illinois with no obvious distinction, his dissertation is meh, and involved no research on labor markets or data collection, he has never published a paper, and his life's work has earned 1.

Of the thousand+ comments on the Edsall article, 75% of them are people being mad at the ignorant racists in Texarkana, and four or five are from people with experience in the area. Here's the best comment, from someone who worked at Target and Lowes in the area.

Texarkana is the location of Wright Patman's old district, it's in the border area between Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma with a traditional populist bent going back to the Civil War and into the 1970s. Some pockets lasted until 2010.
Tom Edsall asked multiple Nobel prize winning economists why people in Texarkana are racist idiots who voted for Trump. Don't worry, he didn’t quote anyone who actually lives there. NYT gonna NYT.

These stories of DOJ colluding with Amazon are insane.
In 2020, I was named the lead defendant in a $100 million DOJ “bribery” case—because of one misunderstood email. That’s it. After years of building @AmazonASGTG into the go-to platform for honest rules following @Amazon sellers, I was dragged into something I had no part in.

Sounds like a healthy society.
