re: Interesting new study says “breakeven” job growth is now nearly 0.
Posted by UpstairsComputer on 4/12/26 at 10:14 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
Heard Jim Bianco talking about this on Macro Voices 4-5 weeks ago. Worth a listen.
eta appears he's been talking about it since September, but the one I was talking about was about a month ago:
LINK
MacroVoices #496, “The Post Covid Economy”: “if we have no population growth, that’s enough jobs… that’s all we really need to be creating.”
MacroVoices #510: discussion of the “breakeven rate” for labor supply and how the economy may need far fewer jobs than people assume.
MacroVoices #523 / recent transcript listings: the same theme appears again, with language like “we don’t need that many jobs.”

Fake news until you show the returns. If it's working you can't just blanket say this. If it's not, so be it.

As others have said, it comes pretty non-descript. It's not like a tax form like a 5498 you'd get for an IRA. You can file if you know the number without it.

re: CC point game going to change with Trumps 10% plan?
Posted by UpstairsComputer on 1/10/26 at 11:40 am to baldona
This is one of the dumbest ideas I’ve heard. If you cap rates at 10% the CC companies just won’t lend to low credit borrowers. They aren’t going to lose money on it. It’s a shortsighted thought. You can have a house you can’t afford but no furniture for you!

Oh boy… how would you feel if it was only worth 75k in 9 months? If it doesn’t matter, go ahead. If it does, reconsider.

Yes, he would’ve played to his strengths and called plays other than WR screens to substitute the run game and protect Nuss. Sloan was the worst.
I don’t 100% approve of this hiring but the one thing I feel good about is the offense as long as he’s here.
