| Jobless claims: yet another 50+ year low in continuing claims Posted: 30 Apr 2022 03:33 AM PDT Jobless claims: yet another 50+ year low in continuing claims [Programming note: I'll comment on the Q1 GDP report later]. Initial jobless claims declined -5,000 to 180,000, but above the recent 50+ year low of 166,000 set in March. The 4 week average rose 2,250 to 179,250, compared with the all-time low of 170,500 set […] The post Jobless claims: yet another 50+ year low in continuing claims appeared first on Angry Bear.  |

So, Russia has stopped selling natural gas to Bulgaria and Poland because they refuse to pay for it in rubles, but they both say that they do not want Russian natural gas anyway!

| Posted: 29 Apr 2022 04:26 PM PDT If anyone ever knew, it might have been Wilbur. But Wilbur got caught chasing Fanne in the park late one night. Then, too, he died a long time ago. So, "What would Wilbur do?," is not an option. Even if it were, Wilbur might not have even ever asked ‘how should it be’; only knew […] The post Taxing appeared first on Angry Bear. |
| Coronavirus dashboard for April 27: Estimating the BA.2.12.1 wave Posted: 29 Apr 2022 03:30 PM PDT Coronavirus dashboard for April 27: Estimating the BA.2.12.1 wave The CDC updated its variant proportions data yesterday. BA.2.12.1 cases grew from 19% to 29% of all US cases: and from 45% to 60% in NY and NJ. At the other end of the spectrum, BA.2.12.1 was only 9% of cases in the Pacific Northwest and […] The post Coronavirus dashboard for April 27: Estimating the BA.2.12.1 wave appeared first on Angry Bear. |
| The politics of student debt forgiveness Posted: 29 Apr 2022 05:13 AM PDT Progressives have been pressuring President Biden to forgive student debt using existing administrative authority. Calls have gotten louder as Democrats become more concerned about their weak position going into the November mid-terms. Supporters of debt relief point to polls showing support for relief, especially among younger voters that the Democrats need to mobilize. There are […] The post The politics of student debt forgiveness appeared first on Angry Bear. |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2022 04:00 AM PDT I was reading the commentary on student loan forgiveness since Joe Biden has said he would do something. It is not going to be $50,000 in forgiveness as Senators Warren, Sanders, and Schumer are pushing. Biden has said it is unlikely it will be this amount. Indeed, he suggested $10,000. The $10,000 might be worthy […] The post Student Loan Debt Forgiveness appeared first on Angry Bear. |

| A brief glimpse at the dark underside of contemporary libertarianism Posted: 28 Apr 2022 02:38 PM PDT I just ran across the website of the Property and Freedom Society, a fringe libertarian group I had not heard of before. (I'm mostly interested in work by people with at least a patina of intellectual credibility.) Apparently PFS is associated with the Mises/Rothbard wing of the libertarian movement, a group that today stands out […] The post A brief glimpse at the dark underside of contemporary libertarianism appeared first on Angry Bear. |
| Prices soar, sales drop; oh by the way, sales lead prices Posted: 28 Apr 2022 05:51 AM PDT Prices soar, sales drop; oh by the way, sales lead prices New home sales declined -8.6% in March, which isn't as sharp as it seems since declines of this magnitude happen 2-3x/year. The series is also heavily revised, so no new month's number should be given too much weight. On the other hand, new home […] The post Prices soar, sales drop; oh by the way, sales lead prices appeared first on Angry Bear. |
| Commonwealth Citizen loses Federal Benefit Available in Other Countries Posted: 28 Apr 2022 04:30 AM PDT Was thinking about this one and Dale Coberly asked if I would write on this.

| In Ukraine, Use the Weapon the Russians Can’t Match Posted: 28 Apr 2022 03:23 AM PDT In Ukraine, Use the Weapon the Russians Can't Match It's nowhere near as expensive as it sounds, and much more humane: offer every Russian soldier who defects $100,000 and the right to settle in any EU/North American country of their choice. It might not work, especially if Russia uses deadly force against soldiers who lay […] The post In Ukraine, Use the Weapon the Russians Can't Match appeared first on Angry Bear. |
