Of course, the Federal Reserve prefers PCE to CPI (since 2012), it underweights Shelter and Energy-related inflation...PCE was adopted as a preferred method post Bernanke's QE1, QE2, Op Twist, QE3

My friends are asking me what is best to eat in Seattle on hot days (for here 90+ degrees).

I suggest they unthaw Spot Prawns they caught. They can buy them at a market, but they're not free. Crab is cheaper per pound in the shell.

$WMT has no choice but to mark items down as consumer budgets tighten w/ inflation: air fryer down from $149 to $110; set of pajamas down from $12 to $9: red “rollback” signs not hard to find at Walmart Supercenter closest to HQ, Bentonville, Arkansas.

Biden tested positive for Covid again. How accurate are these tests, anyway?

Folks, today I tested positive for COVID again.

This happens with a small minority of folks.

I’ve got no symptoms but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me.

I’m still at work, and will be back on the road soon. - President Biden

For many decades US productivity growth averaged ~2% a year. Over the last 10-15 years it has averaged about ~1%.

What are the best reasons why ~1% is all we can expect going forward, or what are the catalyst that would return the US to ~2% productivity growth?

As a reminder, low-stakes testing is one of the most powerful learning (not just assessment!) tools. Lots of low stakes tests help you remember what you learned better than studying; access unrelated knowledge & learn more in the future.

It is now possible, using peer-reviewed research, to build the world’s most horrible robot, with processors that run entirely on crab-based logic gates, and using undead spiders as actuators. Go, science!
