Half a Century in the Wilderness As the CPB dies, we can still learn from America's long era without public broadcasting.

USA oscillated between apathy and downright hostility to public support for most of broadcasting's early decades. I take a look at what we can learn now from the educational idealists who kept non-profit broadcasting alive anyway. continuous-wave.beehiiv.com/p/half-a-cen...

There are a bunch of people in this country who think due process is for innocent people only, because they already know who is guilty and innocent. They're wrong. Due process is the means by which we can reasonably and fairly come to know who actually IS innocent or guilty.

…..in other words, they think we are stupid.

US total construction spending fell -0.4% m/m in June, down -2.9% from a year ago. For Q2 as a whole, spending fell -0.8% q/q, down -2.8% from a year before. These numbers are not adjusted for inflation, so the real decline is even greater.

B of A: “.. A simple simulation of %y/y core PCE inflation shows we could cross 3% y/y core PCE in July. Indeed, this is precisely our current forecast ..

After Dobbs, I predicted on the other hellsite that the push on young American women from the media to just accept subservience and get married to some right-wing family's dipshit failson would be unbearable.

I didn't think we'd reach this particular level so fast, but here we are.

Clearly for showing improper zeal for dear leaders intelligence and hard work /s

A sad, sad day for a country who has decided to decline.

Oh the laugh I just had. These people are shameless.

CNN points out that June turned out to be the weakest month of jobs growth since December 2020 -- the last full month of Trump's first term

Minor correction: to economists other than Jay Powell. He had to know this was coming, which is why he was so confident ignoring Trump's wishes and threats.

What are the odds July's numbers are revised lower next quarter?

Because he's representing Ari Emmanuel.

I could go on, but if you need to go further you can google Ari Emmanuel and that should give enough context.

Um....where? The White House isn't sitting in an open field. There is no space to put something bigger than a football field.

He absolutely doesn't. In all likelihood, Trump will be President until the day he dies.

The only reason to subscribe to the Post at this point is if you read Fareed Zakaria, and chances are he'll be at the Financial Times before the end of August.
