Reasons not to hike rates at all, let alone 50bps: 1. Oil just crashed 20% 2. CPI is backward-looking 3. Inflation is at the average of the last 40 years 4. Stocks crashed last week 5. It's one print. An ugly print, but one print, and the Fed shouldn't be making decisions based on one data point 6. Inflation was a lot higher in 2021 and there was no urgency then, why, I wonder, does everyone have religion about this all of a sudden? 7. You never hike into a supply shock 8. Everyone knows this is about politics 9. Everyone knows Warsh is strongly disliked 10. And Warsh is a proxy for Trump 11. Copper just broke the uptrend 12. A 50bp move is for emergencies. Nothing here constitutes an emergency. 13. See my previous tweet

Deconstruction is everywhere around us.
Here is a CBC Kids broadcast segment originally published in 2021, promoting different coloured poppies during Remembrance Day because “some feel that the red poppy focuses too much on soldiers and can be perceived as glorifying war.” The segment highlights the white poppy for civilians, a black poppy for African, Caribbean and Pacific Island communities, a purple poppy for animals and a rainbow poppy for “contributions the LGBTQ community has made to war efforts.”

Part of me thinks of the opposition to tariffs as favoring US consumerism over the strategic value of a domestic industrial base.

Sorry your big Kristallnacht party was a bust
BREAKING: The Philly Bike Boycott has reportedly ended early because of the overwhelming number of counterprotestors who showed up. Notice which side is fully masked to hide their identities.

Stan Druckenmiller: Knowing When to Stop Analyzing Is the Biggest Mistake We Make I think it's the biggest mistake in our business. At some point, the analysis becomes counterproductive. That's one thing I've learned, and it's greatly to my advantage. Speed matters now. With AI and email and everything else, if you sit around and analyze a company for four months and you're not willing to operate with 15% or 20% of information, you'll often miss just a big move and then you're afraid to buy it because it has moved. That to me is a core belief. Sometimes when the opportunity is so big and you just kind of know it, you've just got to plunge in without the proper information, do the work, and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter whether you're a profit or loss.

White suburban dads attending a Diwali celebration and kicking out the racist loser “protesters” is what makes America so awesome. E pluribus unum, friends!
Note how the people who beat them out of the venue are mostly white suburban dads.

Normie American dads doing the right thing is what will save this country
These three people shut down Jake Lang when he stormed a Diwali event. Outright bigotry offends most people because it’s indecent and fundamentally un-American.

New York bagels are a knockoff of Montreal bagels
I know that New Yorkers don’t want to hear this but Montreal bagels are really just better 🤷🏻

Not wrong
NYU professor emeritus Gary Marcus says Krispy Kreme has beaten Nvidia over the last year and OpenAI could be the WeWork of AI "Krispy Kreme has done better in the last year than Nvidia" "I've long talked about OpenAI as possibly being the WeWork of AI" "What if OpenAI is forced to sell at a discount to something like Microsoft?" Marcus told CNBC the AI selloff is really about psychology, with investors losing faith that generative AI is a rocket while questioning whether chip buyers can turn a profit ($NVDA $MSFT) When the bear case shifts from valuation to whether the poster child can even go public, sentiment is doing more of the work than earnings via @CNBC, featuring @GaryMarcus
