I hate how quick I’m relapsing on #Mets. Already going through it in my head how the UK win was the turning point last year, and maybe they just needed a reminder from the kids that they’re living their childhood dreams

I’ve spent the last several weeks learning everything I can about what President Trump and his allies want from the new Fed chair. I put all that together in a cover story for Barron’s. It's not just rate cuts.

Trump Will Remake the Fed. Lower Rates Are Just the Start.
President Donald Trump wants the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by a lot, quickly. He will get that, and probably much more, under the next Fed chair.

i think that if you are an upper income writer living in a major urban area complaining about “the laptop class” — really, if you are a knowledge worker of any kind complaining about the “laptop class — you have an obligation to quit your job and go work in a factory for a year
Apparently Mamdani voters are the most privileged class in history AND are bitter about having no money and living in an apartment with 3 roommates into their 30s.
Pick a damn lane.
