On behalf of the members of @business_econ, we are honored to have you with us here in Chicago. Hugely important for businesses and their economists to hear your insights and the priorities of the Biden administration.. Thank you for joining us.
Good morning from Chicago! I am excited to be here with @business_econ to share more on the Biden-Harris Administration’s domestic economic agenda, U.S. competitiveness, and how we are developing inclusive trade policy.

@SpiritAirlines I went to check in for my international flight and someone’s else passport info is attached to my record!
I have to say now that #NABE2021 is here, I’m getting pretty excited to see some of my favorite business economists in 3D for the first time in 18 months - even if we’ll all be masked, vaxxed, and distanced. Didn’t realize how much I missed all of you.

Second shot down, waiting period done. This week I have 1) rejoined gym; 2) made downpayment to kid’s orthodontist (ouch!) and 3) gotten a real ($17!) haircut. Next up, booking a flight and reserving summer camps. I am a one man economic stimulus.

This is shaping up to look like a technocracy, which IMO is the absolute best of the ocracies. – at San Diego, CA
So amusing that some clothing stores are still selling pants and shorts without drawstrings.
So glad I ordered 3,000 business cards in February.

This sums up why you should never ask me for investment advice.

Two two dudes’ version of pre-quarantine Costco panic hoarding is a giant TV. That’s it. Can’t really argue with the logic, it should get some serious mileage. But really, not even one roll of TP?
At this moment, the most important statistic - economic or otherwise - is “new confirmed cases.”

Thoughts and prayers for anyone who is taking a shot everytime someone on @CNN says “Biggest Prize of the Night.”
Only in DC would all of the half-drunk fans on local TV who are asked for their reaction to the #WorldSeries  win speak in coherent, complete sentences and stick to their top 3 talking points. #FINISHTHEFIGHT #WorldSeries2019 #WorldSeries
