That meant despite the 2011 S&P downgrade , the US was still a AAA country. But now with the downgrade today, it is no longer the case. expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years the government lacks a medium-term fiscal framework, unlike most peers, and has a complex budgeting process. only limited progress in tackling medium-term challenges related to rising social security and...

I was hit by a car yesterday on my bike. I am so lucky to be mostly unscathed, and I don’t know if I have the words. But it brought up a lot of emotions - mostly around uncertainty and hope. When we wander out into the world, we are dealing with other humans. There are natural forces too, like hurricanes and wind and sunrises. It’s a mix of mess and beauty. But within the entire breadth of existen...

At one yoga class this week, the instructor started talking about “the attention economy”. The whole class was on the concept of distraction, and how easy it is to not only lose focus, but how the world is designed for us to completely disengage. Our eyeballs are commodities!! They are expensive, and companies will pay big money in order to have our pupils etched onto their products. And the way t...

’ve been really fascinated by nostalgia recently, specifically how it defines culture and therefore the economy (such as the Super Mario Bros movie, Marvel Cinematic Universe, constant reboots, the monetization of familiarity). We love the past. Susan Sontag’s view on this was that that we engage in a cult of nostalgia allowing us to focus on commemorating the past vs critically engaging with the...

It seems as though AI has entered almost every conversation we have had recently. Everyone is talking about it, the tradeoff between safety and capacity, whose job it will take first, what it means for All-of-This. And I am not qualified to opine at length about anything of those things! So I’ll include some links and just some summaries of general thoughts I’ve been hearing as I lurk around, spec...

So one thing that has been a Big Question for a lot of people lately is the question of deposit insurance, and the concept of money. What does it mean that SVB got technically bailed out? Are all the banks going to be implicitly bailed out now? Whose deposits are okay? What is the point of the banking system if everything is insulated? Is money… safe? And this gets into this really funky space of...

The Fed overtightened and did so way too fast. And now it's becoming obvious. The Fed Funds rates needs to be somewhere closer to 3-4% but they painted themselves into a corner so now they have to own the policy mistake. The Fed faces one of its toughest calls in years: whether to raise rates again to fight stubbornly high inflation or take a timeout amid the [most intense banking crisis since 200...
