Alternate history where the USSR responds to the Carter administration’s aid to Afghanistan by embargoing oil exports, sending gasoline prices surging and bringing the West to its knees.

Has there been discussion of having the bls release data on a more real-time basis and/or giving the Fed advanced access? It would be extremely valuable for them to have an educated guess at the July inflation rate when they have their July 27 meeting.

One way to do this would be for the bls to publish a daily “confidence interval” for the next data release. It would start out wide and symmetrical (relative to the last release) and gradually tighten as we approach release day.

It would involve a pay cut but I am willing to extend my trip and serve as Prime Minister of Italy if they need someone.

Oldie but yeah it is. Low admission rates among public universities is bad actually, and exclusionary metrics like that + small undergraduate bodies is what private schools pride themselves on -- not public universities.

This is a bill that bans a large percent of immigrants from specific types of jobs. Passed by a Democratic-controlled House.

House passes bill containing new nationality requirements for for crew members working on offshore energy projects. Sounds a little like a Jones Act, but for wind projects.
Are we trying to encourage renewable energy development, or not?

BREAKING: One of the most massive single groups we have ever witnessed cross illegally at the border is crossing into Eagle Pass, TX right now. The line of people went so far into the trees it’s hard to get a count. Hundreds upon hundreds. Coyotes guiding them in water. @FoxNews https://t.co/ZjZIygarAv
