As evidence for Warsh’s rough start as Fed chair, the Treasury secretary is now going after reporters for their coverage of the central bank.
(a) higher-quality articles can be expected to last longer and can be expected to be more expensive and (b) they are often accessible but compete with other very worthy priorities for the marginal dollar but (c) labour costs in a time and place are relevant to a repair-or-replace dilemma

candidate has earned a nod of respect. it’s ridiculous that i cannot go to the bank or get my little treats in the mail.
Cameron 🇺🇸🗽🦅@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · yesterdayyou know i'm starting to think she just hates holidays for their own sake, not even as a woke thing
Nearly everything. It is difficult to think of things that got worse. There are few things I go out of my way to purchase from the 80s. Spring-tempered steel tweezers, I touched on recently. Some textiles with high labour inputs. Handful of specialty papers, but not all of them. Financial privacy.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · yesterdayFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
Here's my shakedown of big US bond dealers on how they're thinking about tomorrow's Treasury Quarterly Refunding. Next week's note and bond auction sizes will be announced and, by convention, sizes through October projected. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Bond Dealers Expect US Will Avoid Signaling Auction Increases
The US Treasury will need to increase the sizes of at least some of its fixed-rate borrowing programs next year but is unlikely to signal the shift just yet, according to bond dealers.

"… a whole lot of people under the age of forty-five no longer believe that indicators such as wages, unemployment, or the number of college degrees that are handed out in a given year have much to do with a healthy economy." is dubious. they'd "believe in" a bad macro environment were they in one.

Gotta love the “or stocks” part. Like Gemini realized its first answer was nuts so it tried to wedge in a better one.

Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 2d agoThis past weekend, former Mayor Eric Adams was in Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town.

wish i were not struggling to trust that decision-makers are lying to the rubes and not to me. the former secretary of state is the last person i trusted to be lying about her "opposition" to an FTA.

A thing you hear a lot among certain folks is that the volatility driven by supply and demand ructions is very good. And the volatility with a social media catalyst, attributed to one (1) account in particular, is very bad. It is hard to trade. Will an information edge make it easier? Let's watch!
Steve Benen@stevebenen.com · 2d agoTrump Media’s idea was so plainly ridiculous — selling special access to his tweets to Wall Street for $100k per month — that it seemed hard to believe the plan would ever be implemented. And yet, as of now, it’s live. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
i was out on the island of jesus yesterday. if the preference is to live like this – and, it is. maybe not you or me, we are better people, but people will give up everything good about life to live like this. – is there much to do beyond embed the fiscal subsidy and externalities into the price.

and good things are available. they are just costly. one may have to know to ask the correct questions. a good laguiole knife from thiers remains expensive, including in thiers. a knife that says laguiole on it is inexpensive. it is also cheap. but how wonderful i do not have to go to france.
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 3d agoI think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.
Extremely related point: people don’t want to pay more for quality, they want to be cheap and complain!
Reconstruction 3 Enthusiast@squalortoballer.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is why flying is bad now. People will say they want full service airlines and wax nostaligic about the golden age of jet travel (when it was unaffordable), but revealed preferences are that people choose the lowest up front price option when spending their own money.
