In light of the builders 3 doors down playing Coldplay for what is now running on 2 hours (meaning 2hrs too long), I can sympathise with @gmacdonell.bsky.social’s battles with neighbourhood leaf blowers more than ever.

Trump econ advisor Miran denies he's had to give up his intellectual integrity to work for the president and push policies most economists think are bad: "I think that’s ridiculous, and I think that it’s very common for people to project their own political preferences onto other people." Via NYT

El Erian's comment is absolutely bonkers. The point of legislation giving the Fed independence is to allow it to do the job legislators set for it and not what the President wants to do on a day to day basis to ease his political difficulties.
This is deeply unpleasant and wrong on its face. Deference to the executive branch still compromises independence.
