I still like to read the news “pages” rather than hear the news. Turning a page is more thorough than watching 2-minute clips on TV news. It challenges and stimulates the mind also. If you want short, cheap, and incomplete state, national, and global news; then the TV is your answer. Reading the daily and […]
Kevin Drum has a post up showing that EV sales have plateaued recently in the US. It’s not clear to me whether that’s all EVs or just Teslas, but since Teslas remain the dominant EVs in the US, that’s a distinction without a difference. I’d be happy to see more EVs on the road. But […]
Weekly Indicators for May 27 – 31 at Seeking Alpha – by New Deal democrat My “Weekly Indicators” post is up at Seeking Alpha.

We are hearing from many people who simply refuse to accept the fact the man is an instigator of the attack on the capital, a briber of […]
– by New Deal democrat Personal income and spending have become one of the two most important monthly reports I follow. This is in large part because the big question this year is whether the contractionary effects of Fed tightening have just been delayed until this year, or whether the fact that there have been […]
