1.) New UI claims and shift in payrolls aren't comparable.

The former is an indicator of "how many people were recently laid off". But "change in payrolls" is a *net* number - incorporating both layoffs and hires.

On first glance the first graph seems mostly a story about smaller port countries with a history of trade and/or colonization.

Then France and Australia with big unaffiliated populations.

I think people who are trying to hustle incomes on substack should get together, pool their audiences, and hire professional editors and designers and stuff -- and then pitch me a magazine subscription. No offense, you be you, godspeed, etc.

We knew when it happened in Argentina because the career people they fired blew the whistle. Because other people collecting similar data saw the official data diverge. Because economic data stopped making sense when you looked at them in combination. If it happens here there will be signs

Blue faience hippo statuette with black line drawings of lotus flowers and buds on stalks painted on its surface (including its face). In a way, it's like seeing the hippo through the marsh plants of its environment.

This #Egyptian faience hippo statuette is painted with lotus flowers and buds, found in its marshy environment. The lotus flowers - closing every night and reopening again in the morning - also represented regeneration and rebirth. 🏺 1/ @alisonfisk.bsky.social

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

The 117th R minority voted more with Biden than the 119th D minority have voted with Trump. (majorities have been very party aligned)
