Americans' income didn't keep up with inflation in February. Real income, excluding transfer payments, fell 0.4% in February, and the three-month average was also negative. Real income excluding transfers is one of the metrics that NBER uses in determining recessions.

The best ever natural experiment for this theorem was the 1990 (not 1990s, 1990!) NYC subways. Nothing at all changed in 1990 about the economy, the schools, the jobs, the lead paint, the healthcare, the water, the housing, the pretty butterflies floating in the air. The ONLY thing that changed was policing on the subways. And crime fell immediately because of better policing and stayed that way ... until 2020.

In 1990s NYC, murders dropped by 70%. And poverty? It increased 20%. I'd love for sociologists who insist we need to reduce poverty to reduce crime to explain this. How did crime plummet while the number of people living in poverty increased?

While the debate continues over exactly what was agreed between the US and Iran regarding the Strait during the ceasefire, ask yourself the following question: What would we do if we were ship owners operating there? I suspect—and please correct me if you disagree—that we would be far more inclined to get our equipment and colleagues out of there than to send them in. Ten ships out for every one or two in? This, of course, highlights a larger point: the restoration of normal shipping activity through the Strait is not solely a decision for governments, nor is it something that switches on and off flawlessly. #economy #markets #middleeastwar #StraitOfHurmoz

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.” thetimes.com/us/american-po…

This is wrong. Computers controlled the trajectory of the Saturn V, controlled how the engines operated (google gimbel), and controlled the staging for the first 2 stages. I know this because my dad was one of the people that built the computer that did this (The IU). Even in 1968 computers were faster than humans.

@Foldedspace @TheCatholicEngr Dude the Saturn V did not fly by fricken slide rule. You know how complicated maintaining trajectory and attitude was? Even in 1968 the computer (IU) was faster than any human or group of humans was. I know this because my dad helped built the computer that did it.

@TheCatholicEngr People seem to forget that all engineering ran on "human computers" and slide rules for decades. They created things like the 747, the Hoover Dam, and the a-bomb. Apollo didn't just happen. It harnessed a massive amount of skills possessed by a multitude of brilliant engineers.

@TheCatholicEngr Yea this is wrong. Human beings did not control the rocket engines on the Saturn V nor did they control the staging. Something called the IU did. I know this because my Dad was one of the people who built this.

@tylermilliken_ Not this bad though. If you run a linear regression of OPS against runs scored Boston underperforms by the most in baseball - by nearly a full run a game.

How to describe the Red Sox approach at the plate so far this season? 33.3% Chase% - 5th-worst in MLB 61.7 Zone-Swing% - 3rd-Worst in MLB 33.3 Whiff% - Worst in MLB 27.8 K% - 5th-Worst in MLB Chasing too much. Not aggressive in the zone. Way too much swing-and-miss.

The origin of the Madmen theory can be attributed to Nixon as documented in the excellent boot "The Price of Power". Ho Chi Minh was not impressed. I am sure that is what Trump is playing at now.

I got nothing.
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter

President Trump's "48 hour deadline" has just been extended to 82 hours for Iran: President Trump has now stated to multiple news outlets that he will "blow everything up" in Iran if they do not make a deal by Tuesday. However, the "48-hour deadline" for a deal, which he set on Saturday, expires on Monday at 10:05 AM ET. Now, Trump has made a post that states "Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!" It appears that President Trump has shifted his deadline for US strikes on Iranian power plants for the 4th time.

The country was against going to war and is overwhelmingly against boots on the ground. And it didn't matter and I suspect by Monday there will be boots on the ground. Elites love war.
