@niccruzpatane I have a friend with a plug-in hybrid with 50 miles of range. He fills the tank about once every three months, or when on a long road trip. Best of both worlds.

Unless you’re driving 500+ miles per day, you don’t need an EV with that much range. The average person drives around 37 miles per day. Current Tesla offerings provide way more than enough for the vast majority of people. On road trips, I can usually only drive about two hours before I need to get out, stretch my legs, etc. During that time, my car charges. It’s not the inconvenience people think it is. It doesn’t make sense to lug around a huge battery when most people don’t actually use that capacity.

@ClownWorld The value & quality went down. 1. Paper bag instead of foil, 2. No more sauerkraut, 3. Self-order ONLY (can't pay cash), 4. Less staff so it takes longer & the condiments are sometimes empty. I'd pay $1.75 to go back to how it was.

Costco's CEO just sat down, ate the $1.50 hot dog combo on camera, and confirmed the price isn't changing. In 2026. While everything else keeps going up. That's how you lead. No excuses, no corporate spin. Just keeping a promise to the people who keep the doors open.

@AlderLaneEggs @BillAckman @mcelarier Leverage + the Fed Put makes investing easier than it should be. He was right about Herbalife.

I think "Warmonger" @BillAckman is down 18% ytd... plenty to write about that asshat for you @mcelarier

If you're getting your news solely from mainstream U.S. sources - CNN, MSNBC, Fox, Newsmax (God help you) etc. - you are getting a very tiny Overton Window of propaganda.

@WhitlockJason Shane Tuttle is a parody account.

Gold. Lol.

From 2008 to 2015, Antarctic sea ice was running at record highs. Then the system flipped. By 2017, sea ice had hit record lows. A new study explains why. A cold surface layer in the southern ocean had been gradually thinning since 2005, while warmer deep water was slowly rising closer to the surface. Then in 2015, strong winds mixed that heat upward, disrupting the ocean structure and rapidly reducing sea ice. The paper concludes the decline was a "result of atmospheric forcing" and "ultimately triggered by strong winds in 2015." It was a natural, wind-driven event, in other words (not a CO2 melt story), and one today's climate models fail to reproduce, according to the authors. Looking at the latest data, another swing may be playing out. Sea ice is surging in 2026, with extent currently higher than in the early 1980s.

@matthewstoller @GordonGChang Yes, he should have gotten a War Declaration. And yes, the left is fascist and un American.

@GordonGChang Trump routinely called my side fascists and un-American. He didn’t get a war declaration from Congress. A leader gets the support he deserves, and Trump deserves contempt for his war.

We are at war. Everything we do must advance victory. And all Americans, at this critical moment, have an obligation to support our Commander in Chief. 🇺🇸

@EpsilonTheory The Affordable Care Act made health care LESS affordable. All it did was strengthen the power of the cartel. Gov't policy is the primary drive of chronic disease and our broken sick care system.

This won't show up in any market data, but it's a profound hollowing-out and weakening of America. "Nearly one in 10 people who had Affordable Care Act plans last year dropped health insurance altogether, after premium costs rose sharply" wsj.com/health/healthc…

@adamtaggart When you have a monopoly, $80 billion is no big deal. If you don't have a monopoly, you got out of business.

@kofinas I've tended to be skeptical of the Fed's "independence." Are Trump's efforts to influence the Fed a difference in substance or "style", i.e. clumsily doing in public what usually happens behind closed doors?

Eichengreen and I spend the first hour exploring the monetary innovations of Athens, Rome, and the Byzantine Empire; the remarkable rise of Florence—a small city-state with no navy—into a financial powerhouse; the revolutionary contributions to modern money and finance by the Dutch Republic; and Spain’s Silver Dollar, the first truly global currency, which circulated from the New World to China and remained legal tender in the United States until the eve of the Civil War. In the second hour, Barry and I examine Britain's emergence as the world's first modern financial superpower, and how its decline opened the door to the US dollar’s internationalization. We retell the story of how Paul Warburg and other bankers, financiers, and politicians built the institutional infrastructure that made that internationalization possible — including the role that the Federal Reserve, two World Wars, and the Bretton Woods Agreement each played in cementing the dollar's global dominance, which was further entrenched, paradoxically, by the breakdown of Bretton Woods and the era of floating fiat currencies. We close with a hard look at the present moment: what Barry sees as the two most serious threats to the dollar's continued preeminence, whether stablecoins could extend the dollar's network effects, the durable challenges facing the Chinese Yuan as a credible alternative, and what the most likely scenario — a world without a reliable global reserve currency — could mean for international trade, finance, and geopolitical stability.

I'm joined by @B_Eichengreen to trace the history of international currencies — from the invention of coinage in ancient Lydia to the advent of stablecoins — and examine what that history tells us about the dollar's future as the world's reserve currency. hiddenforces.io/podcasts/histo…
