☆ Who Wouldn't Like Prices to Start Falling? Careful What You Wish For, Economists Say
  + stars: | 2024-03-30 | by ( Associated Press | March | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +6 min
“There are,’’ the Bank of England warns, “more consequences from falling prices than meets the eye.’’What could be so bad about lower prices? It is only now emerging from decades of falling prices that began with the collapse of its property and financial markets in the early 1990s. Mainly because falling prices tend to discourage consumers from spending. Why buy now, after all, if you can purchase what you want — cars, furniture, appliances, vacations — at a lower price later? If consumers were to pull back, en masse, to await lower prices, businesses would face intense pressure to cut prices even more to try to jump-start sales.

☆ Opinion | More Public Pools Could Save Thousands of Lives
  + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( Mara Gay | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
But the transformative move would be to build far more public pools across the United States. Too few public poolsThere are more than 10 million private swimming pools in the United States, according to a C.D.C. By many available measures, public pools can be the safest places to swim. Yet the United States hasn’t made a serious investment in public pools since the Great Depression, when scores of grand public pools were erected in many parts of the country under President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, according to Jeff Wiltse, the author of “Contested Waters,” a book about the history of swimming pools. In the 1960s, many towns across the South filled or destroyed their public pools rather than allow Black Americans to swim in them.

☆ Robin Hood tariff could curb airline emissions
  + stars: | 2023-07-24 | by ( Hugo Dixon | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
Nevertheless, aircraft are responsible for about 4% of global warming from carbon emissions and the vapour trails they leave behind in the sky. A more viable short-term option is to run planes on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The third option is to tax either the kerosene that airlines burn or the emissions they spew out into the atmosphere. So far only the EU, United Kingdom and some smaller countries are doing this via emissions trading schemes (ETS). To work, the plan would need to channel Robin Hood, the legendary English outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor.

☆ Opinion | A Libertarian and I Debate the Debt Ceiling
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( The Ezra Klein Show | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
On Jan. 19, the United States officially hit its debt limit. If the United States hasn’t raised or suspended its borrowing cap, known as the debt ceiling, by then, America will default on its debt. But Republicans are currently refusing to raise the debt ceiling until their policy demands are met. For years, she’s argued that the United States’ debt levels are far too high and has defended the debt ceiling as a way to rein them in. In my view, the debt ceiling is one of the most absurd and dangerous laws on the books.
☆ Childbirth Is Deadlier for Black Families Even When They’re Rich, Expansive Study Finds
  + stars: | 2023-02-12 | by ( Claire Cain Miller | Sarah Kliff | Larry Buchanan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +18 min
The richest Black mothers and their babies are twice as likely to die as the richest white mothers and their babies. Yet there is one group that doesn’t gain the same protection from being rich, the study finds: Black mothers and babies. The researchers found that maternal mortality rates were just as high among the highest-income Black women as among low-income white women. The richest Black women have infant mortality rates at about the same level as the poorest white women. Generally, rates for Hispanic mothers and Asian mothers track more closely with those of white mothers than Black mothers.
