Let's Appreciate

I follow the outline of the CRFB here. In this episode, we break down the economic policy proposals of two major candidates: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. We analyze their plans on taxes, healthcare, education, housing, and more, providing insights into how each policy could impact the economy. We draw from multiple sources, including CRFB and Budget Model, to offer an objective comparison. Key topics discussed include tax cuts, social spending, border security, tariffs, and long-term economic stability. Find out which candidate's policies could be better for the U.S. economy and why.

Massive Longshoremen Strike: Implications for US Economy, Jobs, and Automation

The international longshoremen's association has initiated a large-scale strike on the East and Gulf coasts of the United States, risking substantial economic activity and millions of jobs. In this episode, we discuss the demands of the 45,000 striking dock workers, the potential economic impact (up to $4 billion loss per day), and the broader consequences for the US economy amid the upcoming election, holiday season, and global tensions. Key points include the dock workers' push for higher wages and a ban on automation, the response from the United States Maritime Alliance, the Biden administration's stance, and the strike's potential to fuel inflation. Additionally, we explore the historical context of automation resistance and the need for future labor retraining programs.

We talk a lot about building more housing, but we do not talk enough about the risk of home insurance. 

We have massively underpriced risk in many parts of the economy. This leads to things like financial nihilism and distrust, which is why we see a world divided - partially because the risk models are all wrong.

In this episode, we explore pressing economic questions with Jared Bernstein, Chair of President Biden's Council of Economic Advisors, and Daniel from the National Economic Council. Topics covered include the current state of inflation, the labor market, and the housing market. Key discussions focus on understanding inflation indicators like CPI and PPI, the impact of government policies on housing and rental affordability, and the role of fiscal and monetary policy in addressing economic challenges. The episode also delves into broader economic issues such as child care, eldercare, wealth inequality, and trade policy. Through these conversations, the episode emphasizes the importance of having concrete policy solutions to improve the economy and help the average consumer.
