Kids in NY get free breakfast and lunch too. You're not the only people to have thought of that. The point of the post (if you even listened to it) was that rent controls will not fix the housing shortage. They will actually make it worse.

I recently had a convo with the CEO of one of the two large food pantry nonprofits in NYC. I asked her if either candidate had been a better friend to them. The CEO said, "When Cuomo was governor, he started the Nourish program. It helped us quite a bit." agriculture.ny.gov/NourishNY

Nourish New York

Nourish New York reroutes surplus agricultural products to populations who need them most through NY's network of food banks.

Dear fellow New Yorkers. You may not love cuomo. He's not my first choice either. But these guys have it right.

Mark Cuban: "Kids don’t like capitalism" and blamed social media "rage bait" for it.

Then he and Andrew Ross Sorkin said promises like Zohran Mamdani's, "free housing, free transportation, cheaper groceries" sound good but don’t work: "People are going to be in for a surprise."

GS report. Lots of good tidbits in here. But I think these two charts are the punchline. 0.7%ish contribution to GDP growth from AI capex spend (forecasted). when GDP is expected to be 2% next year, that's not bad!

from the WSJ editorial board. I've agreed with them more in the past 8 months than in the last 30 years.

Wait til the Fed finds out that interest rates don't affect inflation anymore. That will be an interesting report.

GOLDMAN: “.. we are not concerned about the total amount of AI investment. AI investment as a share of US GDP is smaller today (<1%) than in prior large technology cycles.

“.. Furthermore, we estimate an $8tn present-discounted value for the capital revenue unlocked by AI productivity gains ..”
