Women outspent men in the art market last year—and in doing so, they changed what (and who) gets seen. It’s not just a Basel story. It’s a culture-power story. My latest: why women’s wallets are the new gatekeepers of taste... populationnext.substack.com/p/women-are-...

Women are Driving the Art Market

New data from the Art Basel & UBS survey shows high-net-worth women outspending men—and backing emerging, female artists—hinting at a different future for taste, value, and who gets seen.

I'm calling it The Great Uncoupling. For the first time in a century, people — not companies — are the ones being recruited to cities. Tulsa’s $10,000 bet on remote workers is paying off: $4.31 in return for every dollar spent. populationnext.substack.com/p/the-great-...

A proposed $100k H-1B fee won’t dent Big Tech—but it could choke startups, labs, and mid-market firms. Fewer visas → more offshoring → pricier everything. In a low-growth America (zero pop growth by 2031), talent is the throttle. Adding locks while others open doors is how you get passed.

Authoritarian vs democratic doesn’t decide birth rates. China (~1.0) is collapsing. France (1.6) and the U.S. (1.6) aren’t far behind. The truth: babies follow costs, not constitutions. Housing, childcare, work-life balance. Fix those—or watch fertility keep falling.

This H1-B saga is the latest affront to U.S. growth. Not only does it help speed up our demographic decline — now projected as early as 2031 — but it will likely cause our economy to contract. Efficiencies will be found using automation and AI, but people buy products and services, not machines.
