Is US debt unsustainable? It may express itself through higher inflation, not default. Much of it's already been 'paid for' via money printing and quantitative easing. Plus, historically higher inflation the last 30 years means the real value of debt is lower than it appears.

A 'poisonous economic cocktail' of visibility and despondency creates a sense of falling behind, even when the economy grows. Uneven growth and clear exposure to both extreme wealth and struggle make people feel worse about their outcomes and the nation's economic progress.

AI and robots are poised to revive the family business model. Imagine a small family unit running a multinational-sized operation with AI handling white-collar tasks and robots doing manual labor. This shift could return us to a pre-industrial dynamic

Median income isn't enough for a good standard of living. The solution? Either generate more individual value or tackle structural issues. This means increasing the supply of housing, deregulating healthcare, and easing student loan burdens to lower costs

AI's true beneficiaries? Not just big corporations looking to cut headcount. Smaller businesses leverage AI for innovation, leveling the playing field and fostering competition. Stronger antitrust may be needed to maintain this dynamic in the post-AI era.

Keep your income growing faster than inflation by providing and updating valuable skills. Negotiate raises in line with or above inflation, or switch jobs/become self-employed and adjust your prices with costs.

We might be in year 1 or 2 of a 5-year bear market for real estate. It could be a slow bleed or a waterfall, often triggered by economic recession. Historically, real estate cycles have predictable downswings. Don't expect a repeat of '08,

California is the crown jewel of the US. Any national party that wants to write it off or ignore it is not being serious.

I love liberals who say "just move" if you don't like corrupt CA.
My girlfriend's sister and her husband (who retired from PG&E early) moved to Idaho from CA and love it there.
I don't blame them, their town is like a little Mayberry...but not really my thing.
My parents, my sister, and my niece moved to Arizona from CA, most of my family lives in AZ (even the liberal ones there told me not to stay in CA).
Too damn hot for me.
Problem is, I lived in CA before it became a dumpster fire...it's a beautiful state where everything grows and I remember what things used to be like less than 20 years ago.
California voted red in more presidential elections than it has voted blue throughout its history...the current Democrat supermajority is only a small sliver of CA history.
The California I remember was a place where familes wanted to be, not where families wanted to flee, and I'll stay and fight for that again...because California is worth it...plus I don't like being told what to do.

Forget introducing yourself as 'just an accountant.' Lead with your passion – like being a semi-competitive skier. It breaks the ice, sparks curiosity, and leads to more authentic connections before you even mention your main business. #NetworkingTips #PersonalBranding

Been discussing @AFwithNick's interesting model of social status with ChatGPT and got a good chuckle out of how much higher US incomes are than European ones.

Future cities aren't defined by current tech giants, but by upcoming cultural hubs. Think MLB teams as a proxy for infrastructure. Get ready for a migration to more affordable urban centers. #FutureCities #UrbanPlanning

Cities face a potential 'doom spiral': rising pension costs and shrinking tax bases force cuts and tax hikes, creating a cycle of decline. The long-term financial health of urban centers is at stake. #UrbanFinance #CityPlanning

Cities are predicted to lose their edge as a new generation of retirees takes over, potentially leading to the decay of once-trendy neighborhoods. What does this mean for urban futures? #UrbanTrends #FutureCities

The fundamental issue with modern systems: demanding freedom without willingness to take responsibility. We want individualism, but off-source consequences to the government, then complain about taxes.

Redistribution doesn't create wealth, it only transfers it. Governments can't create value; they can only enable markets and individuals to do so. Promising more wealth than exists leads to dysfunction. #Economics #Politics #Wealth

Political coalitions are unstable because promising unlimited freedom without responsibility is unsustainable. Governments can't force responsibility without losing voter support through taxes, spending cuts, or moral regulations. This creates a constant cycle of instability.

Rust Belt cities faced a similar 'hollowing out' to today's urban struggles. Rising land costs are now the new barrier, replacing unions in driving people away. #UrbanIssues #Economics

Experiencing Peter Pan Syndrome? Common signs include ongoing financial struggles, difficulty committing to relationships or careers, and a tendency towards escapism. Understanding these patterns is the first step. #PeterPanSyndrome #SelfHelp
