Low Productivity Fed @lowprodfed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A significant dynamic in this country is: MAGA has disdain for Libs. They sneer at them and claim superiority to varying degrees based on the race/class of the Lib in question. Libs don't have disdain for MAGA. They hate them and want them to die or at least be excluded forever from public life. 220

Low Productivity Fed @lowprodfed.bsky.social · 21/07/2026It's true that everyone has been more or less wishcasting an economic crisis since at least "Liberation Day," and so far it hasn't materialized. And these 338 tariffs probably won't cause one. But it's one more spinning plate in what is, by now, a forest of spinning plates. Eventually one is going 100
Low Productivity Fed @lowprodfed.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Will is partially right about the inputs here, but sentiment is ultimately a function of *expectations* of those inputs and how well they match reality. Usually they line up pretty well, but COVID broke the link. People came out of lockdowns in 2021 expecting an economy that looked more or less 100
Low Productivity Fed @lowprodfed.bsky.social · 12/05/2026The other day I got into an argument with my conservative father in law about vacation destinations, and it ended like this: "Oh, so you won't go to Florida because of its 'policies,' but you'll go to Louisiana?" "No, man, I'll go to *New Orleans.* Not the same thing." 010
Low Productivity Fed @lowprodfed.bsky.social · 08/04/2026If these are indeed the 10 points, it's dead on arrival no matter what Trump supposedly agrees to. They involve the Israelis and Saudis agreeing, too, when they have no real incentive to do so - indeed, continuing the war is pretty much all to their benefit. That's before we even deal with the fact 100

Low Productivity Fed @lowprodfed.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Congratulations to Paul Ehrlich for finally doing something about the "overpopulation" problem he spent his life ranting about, specifically by dying. Rarely has a scientist been so thoroughly discredited and yet somehow remained influential. 000
Low Productivity Fed @lowprodfed.bsky.social · 21/03/2026It's important to have contingency plans for When It Happens. I have identified the nearest liquor store to my office and critical Metro stops, so if I'm at work or commuting there will be <25 minutes between Hearing the Good News and driving straight from a bottle of champagne in public. 151

Low Productivity Fed @lowprodfed.bsky.social · 30/09/2025It's clear that Hegseth is trying to emulate the speech from "Patton," which is funny because Patton would have challenged him to a duel months ago (and then shot him). And George C. Scott didn't even show up to get his Oscar, no way he'd put up with getting summoned to this bullshit 010

Low Productivity Fed @lowprodfed.bsky.social · 03/02/2025@raskin.house.gov Elon Musk tweeted today that USAID funded the creation of covid-19 and called it a "pit of vipers" that "needs to die." That kind of rhetoric can get USAID employees killed. Trump is doing awful damage but Musk needs to be stopped. Would love to see more from you on this. 021
