Interesting charts from the "Top IMF Blog Charts" for 2025.
While low growth and high deficits/debt are serious standalone challenges for many economies entering 2026, their intersection is where the real policy battle lies.

The "Shift Downward" is real: Federal cuts → State absorbs loss → Counties/schools fill the gap.

Minnesota’s paid family leave starts in 2026. A business owner called workers ‘entitled’ for wanting it. But paid vacation and emergency family leave aren’t the same thing. When your parent has a stroke, ‘you should’ve saved your PTO’ isn’t a business policy - it’s cruelty.

HODL is a popular term in the cryptocurrency community that stands for "Hold On for Dear Life". It originated as a misspelling of "hold" in a 2013 Bitcoin forum. The term has since evolved into a widely recognized investment strategy and rallying cry among crypto enthusiasts.

Why BTC shouldn't be a national currency:
- Too volatile (30% swings in a day!)
- 90% owned by 2.5% of wallets
- No consumer protection
- El Salvador tried, flopped
Money should be boring where it counts. 🏦

Saying "inflation is just government spending" ignores how prices actually work: supply chains, bank lending, corporate pricing, wages, and global markets all play major roles.

It’s true. Joe Biden had EXACTLY the same deal with Mexico that Trump just announced — except he didn't have to threaten a trade war to get it.
Let’s see if the mainstream media reports this accurately. (Don’t hold your breath!)

Negotiation success means gaining new concessions beyond status quo. Claiming 'victory' when others just continue their existing border commitments isn't a win - it's zero progress. Basic diplomacy: maintaining the baseline isn't a successful outcome. @lincolnproject.us @jefftiedrich.bsky.social
