There has been one (1) period of sustained deflation (eg prices down for multiple years in a row) since the 1910s. That was the Great Depression. I understand why people (not Chris, he gets it) naively think prices should fall but I cannot emphasize enough how Bad that would be.

This is obviously a, ah, provocative take on the subject, but it indeed an enormous societal problem that children have stopped walking or biking to school. There are plenty of individually rational reasons parents might drive their kids to school, but, in a wider context, no good reasons.

Love this prompt.

Mine is a dumb one. My daughter listens to these Spanish-English kids songs on Apple Music and this one makes me smile every time I hear it. I’m not religious and it’s a nursery rhyme but it just hits when me and my little lady roll around in my truck.

The argument that consumer spending is weak doesn't have a lot of evidence to support it. And this is what's driving the economy, not AI.

(note: this is a quick and dirty inflation adjustment, but it's going to look very similar to a more intensive one like PCE)
