The picture painted is one of working-class destruction.. Founding father and the second president of the United States John Adams once said that “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” What he meant was that objective, raw numbers don’t lie—and this remains true hundreds of years later. We just got yet another example. A new data analysis from Harvard University, Brown University, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation calculates how different employment levels have been impacted during the pandemic...

Artist’s impression of cosmic filaments: huge bridges of galaxies and dark matter connect clusters of galaxies to each other. Galaxies are funneled on corkscrew like orbits towards and into large clusters that sit at their ends. Their light appears blue-shifted when they move towards us, and red-shifted when they move away.

The regime of the American Founding—natural rights and limited government in ultimate service of securing property and, at its height, achieving virtuous human flourishing and excellence—is now said to be white supremacy (and evil). The details of the indictment have changed since Workers of the World Unite, but the targets and the totalitarian solution are akin. Our institutional and cultural mechanisms would have been perfectly at home in Soviet Russia (indeed, are at home right now in Communist China). The apparatchiks supervising Pravda and Izvestia in the 1980s would recognize the subtle and not-so-subtle manipulations and memory-holing that so often...

We are in the wake of The Fed flood. And its not a half-step, but a flown-blown boogie. The Fed sold a record $756 billion in Treasury securities this morning in exchange for cash via overnight “reverse repos.” This was up by a stunning 45% from yesterday’s operations of $521 billion. There were 68 counterparties involved. Yesterday’s overnight reverse repos had matured and unwound this morning, to be more than replaced by today’s Fed Flood. The result? The Fed’s balance sheet tops $8 trillion! This is truly The Wake of the Fed Flood!
