historical perspective. Yet according to the long-running University of Michigan survey. of consumer sentiment, shown as Chart 1 at the top of this post, Americans have a worse view of the economy now than: • in mid-2022, when inflation hit around 9 percent • in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis, when unemployment was in double digits • in 1980, when the economy was in recession and had double-digit inflation.

And in a slightly contrarian, or perhaps revelatory take, here’s Krugman today:
Vibecessions, Part I Why does a good economy sometimes feel bad?

That this article’s headline does not read something like:
“Florida Man just doesn’t care if Americans go hungry because many of them might vote differently” is criminal
Fact-Checking Trump's Claim About SNAP and Partisanship The president said a lapse in SNAP funding would "largely" hurt Democrats. But interruptions to the program will also affect Republicans.

Krugman on a roll lately with concise indications of exactly where we are, and it ain’t good:
In fact, l'd argue that China is now clearly winning its geopolitical conflict with the United States. America used to be able to count on support from its democratic allies. Now it has alienated them, and established a reputation for arbitrarily reneging on agreements. America used to have unmatched economic leverage. Now the world knows that China has more.

Where we are today via Paul Krugman:
Furthermore, passing legislation to keep food aid flowing would require that Mike Johnson, the speaker, call the House back into session – something which he refuses to do. While we don’t know for sure the reason behind Johnson’s refusal, there is widespread speculation that it’s to avoid swearing in the newly elected Arizona congresswoman Adelina Grijalva, who would supply the crucial vote needed to force an overall vote on releasing the Epstein files. It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.

Read this headline over and over a few times and consider how low we have sunk and how so many have allowed this to happen without consequence out of fear, stupidity, greed or feckless callousness
Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases Senior department officials who were defense lawyers for the president and those in his orbit are now in jobs that typically must approve any such payout, underscoring potential ethical conflicts.

Nobel prize winning Hungarian author Laszlo Krasznahorkai:
“My father had Jewish roots. But he only told us this secret when I was about eleven. Before that, I had no idea,” he told a Greek publication in 2018. “In the socialist era, it was forbidden to mention it. Well, I am half Jewish, but if things carry on in Hungary as they seem likely to do, I’ll soon be entirely Jewish.”

Netanyahu and his failed government are responsible for the two greatest disasters in Israel's history: the massacre of October 7 and the Israeli response to the massacre of October 7. In the first disaster, about 1,200 people were murdered and killed, women and children were abducted, horrific crimes against humanity were perpetrated. In the second disaster, we killed tens of thousands of civilians, caused the death of captives, inflicted destruction on a whole district, initiated mass starvation and committed countless war crimes and crimes against humanity.

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want." Hannah Arendt German historian and philosopher (1906 - 1975)

Krugman’s post today had the perfect answer to Hegseth in a single photo and caption that only needed the word “bearded” added.
