The Tinder-ization of the job market
Why nobody's getting hired in a "good" economy
I have a new piece in The Argument.
We haven't (yet?) seen AI affect the labor market by increasing number of people who are unemployed - but there's reason to believe it's contributing to a stagnant labor market by making firms less willing to hire.

An important thing to realize about the Supreme Court's tariff decision is that the conservatives who ruled against Trump are convinced they are doing him a political favor by doing so.

I feel like there is a window for indices to go down but is there a chance of SCOTUS actually shooting down tariffs at 20-24-25?

the game is rigged, act accordingly.
their 52-48 is a mandate to build a regime while you canβt appoint people from your own party if you win with only 52-48

At least China acts according to its economic interest, which you may guess reasonably well when dealing with them, instead of cannibalizing allies over memes like the US.

Hassett was the most charlatan of the potential candidates so this should be dollar positive but when did the market even sell on this sh*tshow. It was only this monday when they attack Powell and USD closed green.

during the dotcom run up, markets had multiple 15% corrections almost every year. weβve only had 1 in 14 months, and that was because the president of the united states said, βwell what if I brought the global economy to a screeching halt?β

The extraordinary life and mysterious death of a carbon credits broker
How an Italian fugitive used diplomatic immunity to work with Dubai royalty and Liberiaβs fallen hero
Iβm glad this extraordinary tale by @kenzabryan.ft.com is finally out. The carbon credit business is a LOT more interesting than I thoughtβ¦ on.ft.com/4lqMZMV

tbh I wouldn't have expected new ATHs this year even with a full tariff rollback
If I had a chance to switch lives with someone else, I wouldn't choose a gifted artist, an athlete or a true ladies' man. I would have chosen to be a perma-bull.

I have rabies, but instead of the inability to drink water, I am unable to take profits. I just can't.
I haven't taken a profit once for 3 months, just stops and scratches. Fully aware how retarded is that but I just can't. Like a body part not responding.

I think this episode shows how much the 0dte tail wags the ES/SPX dog. Multiple news outlets say Israel will attack, the US say so too, then Israel itself reconfirms it...but the market closes at highs because it falls to tomorrow or the weekend, not today.
