Economics fedi: Question about commonly discussed/used forecasts. The common forecasts seem to be being updated to include a large shock from the SoH foolishness (with varying assumptions, of course), as one would expect.
My question:
Do any of them also include the reasonably predictable shock from the Colorado River reservoir and dam system shutdown that's coming around the end of the year?[edit to add] boosts for reach appreciated

@joshtaylor.bsky.social
And yet again, equating a government budget with a home budget which is absolute BS #Economics101
Doesn’t help that some politicians do the same (for different reasons).
Goes a long way to dumb down the electorate. -

I apologise in advance for the #Labor plug. But I have not seen any similar call for signatures on a petition which opposes any privatisation of public assets and services.
Had I been asked to sign a siimilar petition by the Greens or IND I would have.Please consider the signing to support this worthy social cause.
http://www.nswlabor.org.au/say_no_to_privatisation#Privatisation has historically been shown to fail miserably and there is no economic reason why that should ever change.

@RichardSiggs
Linking better #pay to #productivity only fuels the fallacy that productivity increases come from workers working harder. This is a non-sequitur.Higher wages are required to maintain and improve livelyhood in society, yes. Business owners wishing to improve productivity must reinvest a portion of their profits to modernise production tooling and methods as well as expending funds into ‘research’ for such improvements.
Let’s not give the #grifting system ammunition to squeeze yet more ‘production’ out of workers using old and ineficient #tools and #processes.
Linking higher #wages to productivity is just as damaging as linking so-called wage #spirals to #inflation.#Economics101 - don’t fall for #neoliberal economic scams

During 1992–2020, the USA had low and stable #inflation.
Despite massive federal deficit spending, the Fed met its 2% inflation target (or missed below it) for most of this era.
How come? There were no serious shortage of resources. (Thanks to: no cold war, globalization, bad working conditions, stable commodity supply, increase of greenhouse effect.)

IF A FOREIGN CORPORATION HAS THE OPTION of moving to the U.S. and paying higher wages just to sell in the U.S. for less money...
vs.
Just moving their manufacturing to someplace with extremely cheap labor to offset the #tariff, which do you think they will do? #TooStupidToBePresident #DisasterPresidency #DonnieDumbass #Economics101
(Between the time I found the following link & the time I posted it, the #DOW fell from -1,000 to -1,300.)

Peeps tend to forget who pays the #tarrifs in the first place. Watch the cost of living going up in the US as a result of US tarrifs…that is all you need to know about applying tarrifs. #Economics101 -
Unfortunately, some voters believed Trump’s promise to lower prices, but how? His tariffs will raise costs.
If Biden couldn’t magically cut prices, how can Trump? His claims are smoke and mirrors, not solutions.

Surprise, surprise! Trump now says lowering grocery prices is "very hard." Who could've guessed that wildly unrealistic campaign promises wouldn't pan out? Maybe next time he'll promise to control the weather too. 🙄 #PromisesBroken #Economics101

- So if a bunch of corporations just decide to set higher prices, that's inflation?
