We're half an inning in.

This is worse than the Super Bowl. A whole long day of pre-game analysts saying "this is a close election, we don't know what's gonna happen" before the count starts. But at least with the Super Bowl they play the damn game, it ends, and we can all go to bed...

Watching college football (home in NYC) and every commercial break is stuffed with political ads. Makes me really feel for the poor people in the battleground states who have had to put up with this for months!

But... @BobEUnlimited, the Fed does not "plan" to do that. The dot plot isn't a plan. It's 19 different guesstimates of where policy would be if the data turn out as each of the 19 forecast. WE focus on the median as if it were a plan. The data change, the policy path changes.

KEY FACT ABOUT THE JOBS REPORT TODAY:

Economists have grown more pessimistic about today's jobs figures. Consensus is down to 100,000. But Wall Street is leaning ever more positive: whisper number now up to 140,000.

…that they cause friction and reducing the inequalities that create barriers.
With these things in mind, I’ve done my research and come to the clear conclusion that I’ll be voting for @KamalaHarris and #TimWalz this time around.

As an economist I have to appreciate the efficiency of Alex Vesia in doing his job.
