I dunno but it’s my first time seeing it, so I’m glad they shared it here!

“Considers” ≠ “Counts”

“Tom counts a yellow Corvette among his three sportscars” would be a perfectly natural statement in an article where Corvette ownership is relevant. In this article, parenthood of a transgender child is relevant.

By “illegal,” do you mean the player is not allowed to choose the race for their character? Or do you mean the race is outlawed within the setting, i.e. Orcs would have no legal protections and are persecuted by the law?

“Spicy” isn’t a taste, it’s just a mildly painful chemical irritation. Spicy substances can hurt many sensitive body parts, including the mouth, nose, eyes, anus, and genitals. It’s nothing to do with tastebuds, more to do with thin unprotected membranes in your body being sensitive to chemicals such as capsaicin or allyl isothiocyanate.

Huh. I’d never heard of jenkem before.

I do remember Myron in Fallout 2 explaining the discovery and production of Jet, though. Gross stuff.

tl;dr

The central bank adjusts interest rates and other aspects of monetary policy in order to meet economic goals. However, there’s always a lag between any adjustment to monetary policy and the desired effect on the economy.

Unemployment and inflation are inversely correlated. The more people that are employed, the faster prices rise, and vice versa.

Right now the Fed is trying to fight out-of-control inflation rates. The methods required to do so will inevitably lead to higher unemployment, and due to the aforementioned lag, there will be a short period of time in which we see higher unemployment and inflation, before we see the desired effect of lowering the inflation rate.

To note, the author expects an unemployment rate of 0.3% above target and describes it as “minor” stagflation.

hmm

Readers added context

The edited video, released by Zelenskyy’s office, gives the impression that Graham made those two remarks uninterrupted and sequentially, when they were actually clipped from different parts of the conversation.
