Can AI Price the Mental Load? The $6TR Question (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An economics and policy podcast for professionals. Mattie Duppler on AI doomerism, the GAO's $6 trillion unpaid labor estimate, and who pays. While everyone is debating if AI will end the world, Mattie wants to talk about a more important question: if we aren't going to look at our close history to determine how this debate might play out, how do we know who it benefits?

Inflation Hit 3.4% but The Fed Can't Refine Diesel (opens the original)

In this episode: · Why 2009 to 2019 was a period, not a baseline · How women's labor force partic
Fed Holds Rates Steady: Why Your Bills Still Rise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The economics and policy podcast for executives who need the quick read, no jargon. Warsh's Fed held rates steady, and the number moving your bills isn't interest rates. Kevin Warsh's Fed held rates steady in July, and three members voted to hike anyway. This episode covers why a soft CPI print was an energy story rather than a win, what "this is not a pause" tells you about how this Fed makes decisions, and the one number to watch before the next meeting. About 12 minutes, no economics degree r
