China added over 543 Gigawatts to their grid last year. 434 GW was renewables because they are faster to build. The U.S. added a paltry 53 GW. We are losing the “AI race” to China because these idiots hate green energy. This is suicide by stupid.
Most people know that richer people tend to be thinner. Less appreciated is that this divide is largely driven by women.

Key takeaways from the June jobs report:
1) A disappointing jobs report. 57,000 jobs added (vs. 115k expected). Negative revisions for April & May
2) 4.2% unemployment rate, but mainly due to a big decline in the labor force.
3) The job market is stable. That's good for the Fed.
4) But it's still tough to get a job outside of healthcare or professional services. Hospitality shed -61,000 jobs
5) Inflation (4%) is wiping out wage gains (3.5%).
Bottom line: The June jobs report is great for the Federal Reserve, but it’s disappointing for the rest of America.
2 charts show just how brutal the last 3 years have been for working moms
Why?
1) Strict return-to-office mandates
2) Unaffordable US childcare
Moms of young kids (under 5) are dropping out of the labor force. They made record workforce gains when remote and hybrid work were widely available. Now it's a "mom-cession" in the workforce.

The biggest story in terms of size is the long duration HEATWAVE which lasts into the holiday weekend and beyond for some. Heat Index numbers into the 110's and some 80F dewpoints will make this unbearable for many. Make shade and AC part of your holiday plans.
Everyone should read this. The Musk/DOGE story is infuriating and in a remotely just world he'd have to at least explain himself. In the meantime, after making decisions that likely killed hundreds of thousands of people, he became a trillionaire.

What a chart...
The labor market is getting worse for American moms.
Unemployment for college-educated moms of young kids keeps rising.
Employment-to-population ratio is way down
"Mom-cession" ?
Return to office is likely part of the story.
Expensive childcare another part of the story.
It's interesting to see the big drop off in college educated moms of young kids employed in healthcare/social assistance and education.

Meanwhile, HOF continues to hold era-suppressed round numbers against Henrik Zetterberg, but:
- from '02-18 (his whole career) only 5 players had more points: Thornton, Ovi, Sid, Sedins
- Triple Gold / Conn Smythe
- 5 straight Selke Top-10s (his teammate Datsyuk won 3 of those)
Chris Webber was taking money from Ed Martin when he was at Detroit Country Day, according to Mick McCabe.

What a line in the Fed's Beige Book today:
Middle-income households were described as “squeezing more life out of every dollar before deciding to spend it,” and low-income consumers showed greater financial strain.
This is America's economy now -- an "E-shaped" -- economy with the top 20% doing just fine. The middle stretching every dollar and the bottom in serious trouble.
