Piper Sandler: “The tariffs came in higher/worse than we’d expected, so we are lowering our 2Q real GDP estimate from 0% to -1%. And given where the big tariff hikes are concentrated -- China, Vietnam, Taiwan, etc.-- the risks to consumer inflation are much higher than initially thought.”

"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

My shelves are overflowing with books. My closet can't fit any more clothes, most of which I haven't worn in years. My attic is filled to the brim. All of the Black Friday shopping deals remind me that I'm drowning in stuff. Are you?

We saw how big corporations that gobbled up competitors over the years had the power to pad profits under the cover of inflation. Trump's tariffs will likely be the next shock they'll happily pass onto consumers. The result? A massive transfer of wealth to corporate America.

We are failing our PhDs if as advisors do not share our experiences with failures in publishing as well - and the small nitty gritty things that can make a difference. Amazing how many PhDs were unaware of these at the PhD course we are teaching at CBS
