70.5% OF NEW TARIFFS WERE PASSED ONTO CONSUMERS — PER LENDINGTREE LENDINGTREE DATA SHOW THAT OVER TWO-THIRDS OF NEW TARIFF COSTS WERE DIRECTLY BORNE BY CONSUMERS, HIGHLIGHTING HOW TRADE BARRIERS ARE DRIVING UP RETAIL PRICES AND ADDING TO INFLATIONARY PRESSURES.

Unlike Alex Karp, who recently gave an interview making fun of college grads, Thiel is right. Young ppl inherit a set of values from their elders, a cultural blueprint. If abiding by the cultural scripts leads you to a bad place, maybe the cultural script is the issue.

no taxation without representation but let’s go ahead and just seize the means of production

If only we used the government to redistribute capital to labor, then we could stop this whole fad for socialism thing

Great chats with Roscommon's finest @kylascan last night @kilkenomics. Such an interesting conversation with America's most consequential young economist who grand parents left here in the 1950s. Our loss, Kentucky's gain! Day 2 @kilkenomics kicks off this morning. See you here.

Reporter: VP Vance called the court order absurd. Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own. And you’ll excuse me for getting emotional about it, but when I see people in my state who are hungry because of Vance’s bullshit politics, that makes me angry. That’s why I went to court, and that’s why we’re putting dollars on people’s SNAP cards—because that’s what the people of Pennsylvania deserve. And America deserves better than J.D. Vance.

A stray cat in SF gets run over by Waymo and a supervisor organizes protests and it makes national news. A baby (and family) is hit by a driver near a school 4 weeks ago (true story), not a peep.

The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function. Nor can there be true humanism without a critical sense, without the courage to ask questions: "Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?"

FWIW If two executives with insufficient media training can jolt the market you’re probably not on very stable ground to begin with

The demand-side of immigration also matters. Lower job growth also tends to translate into lower consumer spending (contra dubious claims about consumption being sourced predominantly from top incomes)

Running for US President and also Mayor of every town with a policy platform of only Building Trains 🫩 that is all. Yell at me, fine. I will be moving away from you both quickly and efficiently.

Tonight, we light the Big Four Bridge yellow in honor of UPS Flight 2976💛 This tragedy has touched every corner of our city. As Louisville’s skyline glows in yellow, we’re thinking of the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the entire community that calls Louisville home. I will be briefing the media at 9:00pm for the latest updates on this tragedy.

I want to continue thanking our community partners, like Stooges Bar & Grill, located just steps away from where this tragedy took place. Our friends at Mission BBQ and the Rapid Relief Team made sure our first responders were fed so they could continue working around the clock. This is yet another example of our community stepping up to support one another

I’m deeply saddened to share that the death toll has risen to 12, with several individuals still unaccounted for. No one should face tragedy alone. Please take a moment to hug your loved ones and check on your neighbors. We will continue providing resources and support to everyone affected by this heartbreaking event.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Transportation have directed every airline, across 40 U.S. airports, to meaningfully reduce their schedules during the government shutdown. The goal is to relieve pressure on the national aviation system to keep us all operating safely. That is the highest priority for the FAA—and for United. Here’s what our customers should know: • These reductions will start Friday, November 7. We will continue to make rolling updates to our schedule so we can provide several days’ advance notice. • If your flight is impacted, we will notify you in advance via the United app, our website or a text. • United’s long-haul international and hub-to-hub flights will not be impacted. Instead, the focus is on schedule reductions to regional and domestic mainline flights that do not travel between our hub airports. • Any customer traveling during this period is eligible for a refund – even if your flight is not impacted. That includes all non-refundable and Basic Economy tickets. Check the United app or visit united.com for the latest information on your flight.

A few things to know about the ATC reduction in flights: 1) This will be a nightmare for airline scheduling. We have reductions at some airports regularly through Ground Delay Programs (GDPs). Maybe 6 or 7 airports some days. 40 is WILD. 2) The airlines can’t “just cancel” 10% of flights. That leaves jets & crews out of place for the next flight, or getting home, etc.. 3) These kind of things tend to cascade into delays & cancelations even at airports not among the 40. Pilots, FAs, jets all get out of position to operate the next scheduled flight. 4) The airlines have mechanisms to change the crew’s schedule, but labor contracts often make doing so prohibitively expensive by design; if it didn’t, schedulers would solve all their problems this way & there would be no point to having a schedule at all. There are some exceptions, but it’s limited. 5) You could argue airlines need to put more flexibility in the schedule, but this comes with a cost. For example, having two hours between flights instead of one. That seems helpful, but in reality, it means jets arrive and have no gates to park at because the gate that should be open isn’t. Putting more flexibility in the schedule eventually means reducing the total number of flights that can operate from an airport. Reduced supply in the face of increased (& in this case, now out of reach) demand equals higher ticket prices. 6) Airlines can only blame the FAA for the first event in a sequence of delays & cancelations, or a later event if the same type of delay is ordered. Everything that comes after – even when it’s obviously a result of the original FAA delay – gets reported in a category that absolves the FAA from blame (that’s a complicated one to explain…the rule changed in 2003. You’ll have to trust me). Which means the cascade effects all get dumped in the laps of the airlines. 7) This affects the way the DOT collects delay & cancelation data, and guarantees that no matter how bad the FAA gets, the airlines look worse. It’s a clever trick. 8) The airlines collect their own, separate data so they can see the real reasons & try to fix problems. This is why the FAA will claim one thing & the airlines will claim another. I’d go with the airlines numbers. Anyway, hope those help add some context as this unfolds. More importantly, I hope this doesn’t happen at all. It will be a mess.
