The Astros have a 2026 payroll of about $250M. The White Sox? $100M In other words, the White Sox are winning 15-2

Love this description in the way that Hegel described philosophy as “holding one’s time in thought.” The one area where I think our idea of Westernness must change is here: “believe that all ideas have a right to circulate without restriction.” Some ideas do not deserve the right to circulate

I don’t feel this strongly against this idea, but it seems pretty dumb. Relegation would be 100x more interesting

Interesting development. I think George’s framing as socializing the losses (property market stabilization) is right. It seems like a weak wealth transfer to households that will generate more I than C, so unproductive for rebalancing

Deflation doesn't mean recession I looked at the 30 largest economies in the world over the last 30 years, about 900 data points. Within that data set, there were 66 years of deflation. The median RGDP growth rate? 1.65%. Economies grew in 46 of 66 years

Would be kind of cool if US political parties actually had monetary policy positions (they don’t really, this is pure nonsense; if anything republicans are more closely aligned with printing to juice corp profits and equity returns)

Mostly bullshit here, but let’s all agree that we do want supply resumption to express as deflation. Voters are right.

"Free markets" are a myth, a fantasy. There have never been markets of any significant size, in which government was not deeply involved in myriad ways. (Look up The Hanseatic League.) Today, for instance: Corporations are 100% creations of government, 1/

this is wrong people experience this as seeing other people become fantastically wealthy while they barely beat inflation we have been taught that a rising tide lifts all boats but that demonstrably hasn’t happened. it’s keeping up with the joneses but legitimate

Lots of nominal order growth, but not much rise in real domestic production. Another example of elevated price growth in the US economy.

Good morning. Inflation wasn’t a problem for several hundred years. Then we began manipulating the money supply and debasing the currency. Cumulative Estimated CPI U.S. dollar inflation since 1940: 2,292.7% $1.00 in 1940 would have bought you the same as $23.93 today. Have a great day.

In the modern era, deflation is associated with growth more than recession Across 12 countries since 1996, real GDP grew in 35/52 years with falling CPI (median +1.6%) The idea that we should fear falling prices *per se* Is unsupported, and I suspect largely a relic of Great Depression trauma

Why is economic sentiment so low when GDP growth is positive? There’s no reasonable explanation, the only possible conclusion is that people are all just doing a mass hysteria (/s)

Disagree with Ed on many things, but couldn’t agree more about MLB relegation. Imagine if every hometown kid knew that they had a *shot* to see their old town farm team play the yankees. Would be epic.

One of the reasons why we need the free press⬇️

MAJOR TV NETWORKS STAND WITH CNN, SUSPEND COVERAGE OF TRUMP
LIVE
CAN
6:43 PM PT
Kaitlyn Collins: How is reporting on the president a national security threat?
Mike Waltz: When we have outlets that are relying on anonymous sources and talking about the levels of ammunition we have in the middle of conflict...
Collins: That was in the inspector general's report from the Pentagon talking about shortages.

In the US, and most developed counties, inflation is bad for real wages. But the US trend is especially strong, and I’m trying to figure why… Maybe weaker bargaining power (i.e. unindexed wages) makes US workers extra exposed to inflationary periods?

Look, let's clear this up. LLMs can't think or understand because those are evolved capabilities of embodied living organisms embedded in the physical and social world and LLMs aren't that. Don't make it harder than it is.
