Is the eclipse looking like this for anyone else?

My first for @Slate! Looking back on the slow divorce between Trump and New York City, now culminating in a $355 million fine that could all but erase his name from the city. https://t.co/XNKLctRcgz

Let’s bring the most expensive ACLs on the planet to met life. Brilliant.

For Whom The Tide Rolls

[Chris Low @Clowfb]

One of the greatest runs in college football history is over. Nick Saban informed his team today that he's retiring, sources tell ESPN. He won six national championships at Alabama and one at LSU.

it’s just distracting. i think, though, we blame this on Ryan Tedder (who i would’ve guessed was British but is not!) and we move!

[Alex Schroeder @alexjschroeder]

something i’ve had to get off my chest awhile now — “i know places,” probably my favorite song atm, let alone favorite taylor — perfect song — has a continuity issue.

“they are the hunters, we are the foxes.”

vs.

“they’ll be chasing their tails trying to track us down.”

[Jason Furman @jasonfurman]

The CPI data was a pleasant surprise. Headline was 0 inflation in October, which happened because volatile gasoline fell 5%. More important, core CPI (excluding food and energy) was 2.8% annualized in October, lower than expected.

Not out of woods: still 3%+ over 3/6/12 months.

Hip-hop is the most popular genre on streaming but Pop and Rock are still most popular in concert sales.

Here are a few reasons why there's such a big difference.

[Mark Zandi @Markzandi]

As a professional economist, I do lots of forecasting. Some forecasts I’m confident in, some not so much. I’m confident that the growth in consumer prices for shelter is headed much lower and that this will push overall inflation back near the Fed’s target by this time next year.

[Jason Furman @jasonfurman]

The inflation data from PCE--which is what the Fed focuses on--were much better for August than the CPI data.

We now have three unambiguously good months in a row for core PCE.

Annual rates:
1 month: 1.8%
3 months: 2.2%
6 months: 3.0%
12 months: 3.9%

Economics is the study of collective human behavior - how all of our individual spending preferences/biases/limits or lack there of - affect our decisions on what and how we spend.

I get a bit frustrated when some forget that the economy is about people’s lives and livelihoods.

Just needed to put that out there.

Appreciate this conversation w/ @Sabritree abt the role US colleges have played in growing women’s sports globally. We discuss why 151 players (>20%) at the Women’s World Cup played US college soccer & why Spain & England are in the final for the 1st time: https://t.co/h2BwYcUy8o

From @kairyssdal and @DavidBrancaccio this morning. Big takeaway from Beijing: Yellen is aiming to keep things calm and open, despite reporting framing her remarks as overly critical of China. https://t.co/4FcBuQ7gsw

Exclusive: After seeing the tweets of laid-off #LAist staffers, we looked into the tax returns of the #NPR-affiliated station. Amazingly, up to last year 2 retired CEOs were still making >$500k per year. w @LoreeSeitz https://t.co/YW3dQe3L0C

[Mark Zandi @Markzandi]

There’s much concern that the next shoe to fall in the economy is commercial real estate. Indeed, CRE prices fell in the first quarter for the first time since the wake of the financial crisis over a decade ago. This, according to Moody’s Analytics repeat sales index.

For @nytimes, I wrote about what's on everyone's mind this weekend: mother.
