Inflation is still here, folks
Manage episode 364449172 series 1319466
The debt limit is the big economic news story of the day, but yes, you *still need to keep an eye on inflation. The personal consumption expenditures price index, a measure of consumer spending, ticked up last month. That’s bad news if you were hoping interest rates, the tool the Federal Reserve uses to fight inflation, might come down soon. And, some musing on the nature of consequences: Three members of the far-right militia known as the Oath Keepers were recently sentenced to prison for their part in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Plus, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty!
Here’s everything we talked about today:
-
- “Sedition Sentence for Oath Keepers’ Stewart Rhodes Marks Moment of Accountability” from The New York Times
-
- “Atlanta Fed CEO on the debt limit debacle and curbing inflation” from Marketplace
-
- “Band-Aid is the most trusted brand in the US, beating out Amazon and Visa” from Business Insider
-
- “The Restaurant QR-Code Menu Is Being Shown the Door” from The New York Times
-
- “Admit it — you miss socializing at the office” from Marketplace
It’s the last day of our May fundraiser. Help us reach our goal and keep our newsroom running. Give now.
Join us in Seattle for a special live taping of “Make Me Smart” on June 9. You can find ticket information here.
