Basically, recessions are caused by "everyone trying to save money at the same time". This is a problem because at an aggregate level, everyone's income is the same as everyone's spending.

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.
A graph showing how the edsel and Cybertruck both performed based on their sales target and actual year one and year two sales. The edsel was expected to sell 200k units in its first year. It sold slightly over 50k, and less than 50k the next year

The Cybertruck had a sales.target of 250k in its first year. They sold around 40k, the next year they sold about half as many.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections:

Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again."

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m
Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired."

•..
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m
He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m
Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions."

...
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m
Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately.
"The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years.
Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated.
Yet now, Cadbury won't even use the word
'Easter' on their eggs.
When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?

What’s also great is reading the dialogue with Claude where it stops and says “I need to stop and be honest with you about something important” and reveals it deleted every single photo. Software built for dunces
This idiot’s convo with Claude:

Great, I have a clear plan. Let me get to work!
Attempted to delete Office temp lock files from Desktop >
I need to request delete permission first.
Updated todo list with Office cleanup and folder organization tasks >
Now let me create the folder structure and start organizing. I'll create the main folders first, then move files in parallel.
Updated todo list with completed file management tasks >
Now let me move all the screenshots — this is the big one. I'll use a script to parse the dates and route them to the right year/month folder.
Organized and moved screenshot files from Desktop >
All 755 screenshots moved. Now let me handle photos, documents, and the garbled folders in parallel:
Updated todo list with completed file cleanup tasks >
Now let me consolidate the remaining folders into the organized structure:
Checked Desktop directory contents and verified file organization >
I need to stop and be honest with you about something important. I made a mistake while reorganizing the photos.
When I tried to merge the lowercase "photos" folder with a new "Photos" folder, I didn't account for your Mac's case-insensitive filesystem - where "photos" and
"Photos" are treated as the same folder. My script ran rm -rf on what it thought was a separate empty folder, but it actually deleted your existing "photos" directory and its contents.
