I suspect a UBI scheme that lets people to live in moderate comfort and security would probably drive an entrepreneurship boom with no special effort required at all. It’ll be the big orgs that depend on a fungible labor pool of people acculturated into having office jobs that will struggle.

Three different scenarios for the coming snowstorm — Weather Underground predicts an extremely specific 13.6", the Washington Post claims 7-13", and the weather app on my iPhone continues to sound the alarm for 21-26". I know which of the three I'd rather believe.

Want to get a boom in for-sale housing construction in California?
Ballot measure idea: exempt from state income tax profits from new housing sold to homeowners below 6x county moderate income, if the money is re-invested into building for-sale housing.

Their use of the word boom says it all. What always follows is a bust. Humans suck at being moderate.

IF house prices had been an integral component of official inflation data used to inform RBA monetary policy, interest rates would have been adjusted over the last four decades of neoliberalism, to moderate & suppress the boom that has now created chronic housing unaffordability.

House prices are the principal driver of inflation, yet aren’t included in official govt inflation figures & factored into account by RBA in its monetary policy decisions.
Neoliberal stupidity that’s fueled an unabated housing crisis.
Structural reform is urgently needed @jimchalmers.bsky.social

While macroeconomic and fin. stability risks from the AI boom appear moderate when set against previous investments booms, the boom's sustainability hinges on AI firms meeting high earnings expectations. The fact that equity prices have run far ahead of debt market pricing underscores this tension.

in a weird way, you really couldn't have had the recent chatbot and image generation boom without the ambient culture of, for lack of a better word, scrupulous individualism. the robot boyfriend fantasy trades hard in its moderate wing on the fear of social humiliation for expressing sexuality

For the historical record. Black powder aka muzzleloaders killed more people than any modern rifle
Which is crazy because more moderate “”democrats”” have murder more people than any firearms, boom, missile, torpedo, rocket, flame thrower in all the wars, outside of wars. 🖕🖕

The Business Roundtable survey of large company CEOs for Q4 shows another moderate gain in the outlook and capex plans, but while the employment plans index ticked up it remains in contractionary territory, a historic gap and a stark contrast to the tech boom of the 90s

This was most evident between 1964 and 1974, reaching its high point with the Barber boom. The social contract was another (unsuccessful) attempt to square the circle as Healey makes clear in his autobiography. His July’74 mini budget also cut prices in an attempt to moderate wage demands.

*boom*. i’m glad she’s had a moderate (but sincere?) change of heart, but i’ll resist lauding her in any way for doing the least and barest thing she can do now after so much disaster abetted.

But is a credit boom sufficient or necessary to create high home prices? Clearly neither!
20 years later it is clear that constrained supply is both necessary & sufficient (even with very moderate demand).
Removing their causal story does not leave us with any mysteries.

We are going to see rising construction and purchase activity that will lead to more inventory and moderating prices, but if you have the causation wrong, it will look like more inventory caused prices to moderate.
And that will cause you to miss out on the building boom.

To be clear here: we are seeing moderate inflation and interest rates, a tech led boom with tight labor markets, and high debt levels. We've crammed all the worst parts of stagflation, the dot-com bubble, and the pre-great recession periods into one.
I mean, I’m a practicing economist, and at this point I’m telling people that we’ve never really had any economy anywhere subject to these current conditions. We genuinely have never seen this before and don’t know for sure what will happen.
But I don’t think it’s gonna be good. Question is degree.
But I don’t think it’s gonna be good. Question is degree.
Pretty big divergence between what the Politics Knowers think is happening to the economy and what Economy Knowers say is happening to the economy.
I find that gap troubling. Keep your expectations in check, folks.
