The stock price of Vail Resorts looks like a ski slope. But their doom is our doom, too (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. This is a story about mud. And about climate change. How a warming world shows up in the economy, in the stock market, and in our lives. Vail Resorts is bleeding. Why? Because it had a dreadful northern hemisphere, closely followed by a terrible, very muddy Australian season. (The company owns not only Vail but also Whistler-Blackcomb in Canada, Perisher and Mt Hotham in Australia, and many more). Vail Resorts is a company with a ski resort a
Black market darts are up, but smoking is down. Is Hanson’s excise plan crazy now? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. What follows is a tobacco story that refuses to follow a simple script; one that forced me to accept a new reality about smoking rates — and that leaves a wise person unsure what to do with the cigarette excise. In late August, as usual, the major supermarkets released their official reports for the financial year just passed, and, as usual, they recorded enormous falls in tobacco sales. “Tobacco sales declined by 43% on the prior year,” said

Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. The government’s student loan policy, the Higher Education Contribution Scheme, now known as HECS-HELP, first began back in 1989. Anyone aged over 23 at the time is now 60 or older, and retirement is squarely on their radar. But while a vast majority have since paid off their debts, some are now retiring without having cleared the slate. HECS/HELP debts are only getting bigger, too. A semester of study used to only lead to a debt of a couple
Whose jobs thrived and withered in the post-COVID years? New data paints a curious picture (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. In this era of high inflation, we hear a lot from people who are not getting ahead: people treading water, going backwards. But anecdotes are frustratingly singular — what we need is data. But data can be frustratingly agglomerated. Yes, GDP per capita is falling, but national averages are cold and meaningless things. Even the statistics on people’s occupations are pretty bleak, with the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia listin
