I’m the combination of under and unemployment with the inflation rate.

Yes! This is the way! And I hope what’s left of the real journalists covering the WH attend this event instead.
Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

Will the rest of the free world sort out the flu vaccine for next year? Can we just use their findings?
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

@sgeecon.bsky.social when calculating the Misery Index, should we use the unemployment Rate or the U6 Rate? If the point is to gauge misery it seems to me we’d want to capture underemployment too.

A Misery Index of 7 is bad but that’s just using simple unemployment. U6 unemployment rate, which is 7.5%, captures the under and unemployed. If we use that number we get a Misery Rate of 10.5
