There's an economist from UC San Diego named James Hamilton, known for his work on oil price spikes and the business cycle.
His work suggests a large chance of recession due to lower consumption and reallocation of resources to energy costs, IIRC.

The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.
Exclusive: Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating β even indirectly β in the war.

Oh, yes. I meant that it was created by Muslims in Turkey, made its way through the Arab world, into Mexico, then into the US where it is now a halal version of a Mexican dish made by Afghans, at least in this specific restaurant.

The Afghan (?) kabob guys down the street pivoted to Mexican and they're making some weird menu items. Looks like they're cooking halal taco meat on a vertical spit, a return to the origin of tacos al pastor.
Probably going to check it out soon.

The trend shift in adults per family household is so insane.
its even more insane that every important policymaker and economist thought we were slowly soaking up a glut of homes even into the 2010s.
And itβs even more insane that there are still supply-crisis skeptics today.

I think I grew up with a view closer to the Canadian one. But my "fellow citizens" keep electing morally reprehensible people to high office, so I've shifted my opinions of them accordingly.
Hard to look at the actions of America these past few years and believe it's a moral place.

The order itself requires Customs to "liquidate all entries" without regard to IEEPA duties, but at the hearing the judge said unequivocally that "I want to make it clear to the Customs Service that they have to refund any money that was unlawfully collected." [4]

I think it was a poor choice because the X2 and X9 already had high ridership and the streetcar made their service worse.
East Capitol would have been better, IMO.

A lot of people epically failed to accept the basic reality that the 2024 election was an election with huge moral stakes and a clear right and wrong answer (for a wide range of reasons). They now are twisting themselves into knots to protect themselves from accepting that moral failing.

Last week, former State Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis was sentenced to probation and community service after being convicted of four felonies including Attempt to Influence a Public Official.
She made a horrible mistake, and she was wrong. I hope she learns from this and can rebuild Show more

Itβs so refreshing to hear someone telling the truth about the LA establishment, which has no higher goal than giving the appearance of doing something while doing nothing. A change from people who want to do as little as possible to people who want to see how much is possible.
