seems like such an obvious solution, if women can work from home they have more time for children instead of driving, hours are more flexible so they can take kids to school etc

Germany's economic malaise stems from weak net exports (purple). Fiscal stimulus and debt build-up only make that worse. The fix is to get the overvalued Euro down, by getting the ECB to acknowledge rising risk of deflation in the Euro zone. The ECB is at the root of so many bad Euro zone policies.

is it just China buying gold?

Idk seems like a downward trend, just slowly

maybe they are buying gold ETFs in the US exchanges lol

the male struggle of: do I have a cough because I am getting sick or because there is too much dust in my apartment

Are you familiar with the Plano Real in Brazil? Its how we got out of hyperinflation, I would be curious to know your thoughts on it because it did involve pegging to the dollar

Great explainer but I do have to say that the fiancial crisis is closer to "2 decades ago" than "over a decade ago"

The S.E.C. Drops Efforts to Recoup Funds From Trump Clemency Recipients

only an idiot would put money in the US stockmarket. Trevor Milton lied to investors, he rolled a truck that didn't work down hill to pretend that it did. Than became a MAGAt hired the attorney general's brother and got away with a pardon and no punishment www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

Stagflation 2, but this time with crippling 120% of GDP debt

Quite remarkable. This morning's CPI data confirm that US inflation is picking up, with a broad-based rise that's coming from all kinds of places. But the Fed - under pressure from the administration - is almost certain to start an easing cycle next week. Not great really...

Seasonal adjustment of US data has been a problem ever since COVID. So it's best to just line up 2025 core CPI inflation (purple) with previous years. This makes it clear that an inflation pick-up is happening, right in the middle of the year when inflation is usually low...

Wordle tip: Today's wordle is something thats missing from this picture

It’s very funny that in rhetoric Trump goes “this trade negotiations are about REINDUSTRIALIZATION FACTORIES ONE BILLION US STEEL MILLS” and then in practice he’s like “uhh can you lower the taxes on Facebook”

A graph of US average effective tariff rates, which rise from 1.5% to 2.5% in trump's first term and then 2% to 9.7% by mid 2025

US tariff rates continue to spike to new modern highs amid the trade war—in official data released today, tariffs rose to $28B on $288B in total imports, pushing average effective tariff rates to the highest level in decades at 9.7%

I am curious Joey how is the math being done? Is this the average tariff rate for a product assuming imports from pre tariff years?
