The last time stagflation gripped the U.S. was in the 1970s. Oil shocks drove prices higher while growth slowed.
The Fed hiked rates sky-high to crush inflation, triggering back-to-back recessions.
Today, the risks are even sharper with higher debt and fragile supply chains.
Valéria Souza retweeted
🚨 The Fed’s worst nightmare is here: Stagflation.
Growth is stalling, unemployment is rising, and inflation is still sticky.
And today’s payrolls confirmed it: just 22,000 jobs were added in August.

August 13, 1981...The Economic Recovery Tax Act was signed into law, deeply cutting taxes for wealthy and corporations. Top income tax rate went from 70% to 50%.
October 22, 1986...Reagan signed the Tax Reform Act, bringing the top income tax rate down to 28%
It's 37% now

I'm writing a new book.
It's called THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP.
It will be out in 2024.
Valéria Souza retweeted
My writing students have been learning for years that @sarahkendzior is both a master stylist and a master of American culture. This new book promises to be as infuriating, devastating, brilliant, and irresistible as all of her work is. Highest anticipatory recommendation!

The Twitter alternatives are exhausting. I plan on staying here. But as a backup, I'm on the following sites:
BlueSky: sarahkendzior
Threads: skendzior
Substack: sarahkendzior.substack.com/
I'm not using any of them at the moment. The most likely one I'll use is Substack.
Valéria Souza retweeted
They literally couldn’t wait a week before admitting that Threads isn’t a place for news or politics. Meta wants all the rewards that come from human interaction without any of the mess or responsibility. It’s a hollow facade built for brands to exchange money for attention.

Hey @AmerenMissouri there’s a portion of an assisted living community in North County (Hidden Lake Estates) that has been without power since 3:30 pm yesterday. These are people in their 90’s sleeping without a/c, fans, etc. How about an update for them?
