Losing the extra $600 unemployment benefit may not have stopped Americans from spending money, J.P. Morgan credit card data shows.
In July, personal spending rose by 1.9%, the government said Friday. That spending happened while more than 30 million jobless Americans were receiving an additional $600 in weekly federal unemployment benefits on top of what they were receiving from their state.
- Since March our business has been 32% above revenue from the time last year. But personally I'm spending much less than I did in February.utopian
- WTF is wrong with American's spending more money when receiving unemployment and or when they just lost their unemployment benefits?utopian

- ^ people are spending on home improvement. I doubt everyone is clamoring for a new Apple Watch.formed
- A large part of it is home improvement/repairs. Pressure-treated wood is hard-to-find and other things are heavily backordered.evilpeacock
- Also, it is kind of a benefit that the extra $600 fed back into the economy. Money moving around is usually a good thing. We'll see what happens next...evilpeacock

The Long-Brewing Crisis in Higher Education
Over the past few weeks, colleges and universities across the United States have re-opened for the fall, despite the public health risks associated with doing so. And the risks have borne out: the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, over 500 cases. At the University of Missouri in Columbia, almost 160. It all seems so, sadly, predictable. So why did they open at all?
For many schools, the decision appears to have come down to the bottom line: the lost revenues from room, board and events, plus predicted tuition drop-offs, along with the added costs of going online would, for many institutions, be crippling. To Scott Galloway, New York University Stern School of Business professor and host of Pivot Podcast, the current crisis is forcing a reckoning that's been on its way for a long time. Galloway and Brooke talk about the inequalities and artificial scarcity underlying higher education today, and what a better model for the future might look like.

The opioid crisis is 'a unique product' of U.S. health care, paper argues.
blob:https://imgur.com/ad20ca5f...
A working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) argues that the decades-long U.S. opioid crisis is “a unique product of specific policies and features of the U.S. health care market” that remain in effect.
“Without the opioid epidemic, American life expectancy would not have declined in recent years,” the paper stated. “In turn, the epidemic was sparked by the development and marketing of a new generation of prescription opioids and provider behavior [that] is still helping to drive it.”
In December 1995, the FDA approved a new opioid known as Oxycodone. Subsequently, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), “pharmaceutical companies reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted to prescription opioid pain relievers, and health care providers began to prescribe them at greater rates.” A blizzard of prescriptions followed.
An estimated 21-29% of patients who are prescribed opioids for chronic pain end up misusing them, according to NIDA, while 8-12% develop an opioid use disorder.
Tens of millions of Americans became addicted to prescription opioids and tens of thousands died of overdoes in the two decades that followed. In recent years, the overdose crisis accelerated after synthetic opioids like fentanyl began flooding the U.S
- One of the weird things I always notice when coming back to the US from overseas is the endless bombardment of commercials for various medicationsyuekit
- always ending in a disclaimer of all the horrible potential side effects lol. Just not something you will ever see in most countries.yuekit
- Canada has it too, though... does it not?nb
- ^ we get to see those commercial in Canada . So weird. And always some new, made up, affliction to be conqueredGnash
- We only get the commercials because of proximity. They are on US stationsGnash
- Although, I’ve never seen a commercial for opioidsGnash
- No I meant Canada has an epidemic. It’s not uniquely a US issue. Is it?nb
- Oh ya. Big time problemGnash

On a side-note for those waiting for a declaration of civil war in America - this tweet got me thinking about how Vietnam was not technically a war... as it was never declared. and how, where I am and what many historians are now referring to as "the ulster civil war" lasted 30 years and killed thousands is still mostly known internationally as "The Troubles"...
"The troubles" I mean FFS

- You know what? I never thought about it that way. If it's true, -1 our cynical vampiric overlords, +10000 whoever in the IRA came up with that.Nairn
- Oh, my bad. My memory was that there were no deaths, just a shitload of destruction. 2 deaths. https://en.wikipedia…Nairn
- More than 100 people 'hurt'.
I earnestly thought they warned ahead, did it at some unforgiveable early hour and no one was hurt.Nairn - yeah some horrific injuries. but of course the british government hasn't supported the victims either... the first bomb was a booby trap too (designed to kill)kingsteven
- so, not to give credit to the 'ra... just if folks think that deaths change anything... nope! just profits.kingsteven
- Hmm, a distributed WAH culture kind of protects a bit them in future.
Business is going Cold War-era distributed Internet. Evolution, baby!Nairn - "protects a bit dem"?Nairn

Second U.S. shale boom's legacy: Overpriced deals, unwanted assets. Oil and gas companies plunged over $156 billion into corporate takeovers and land deals during the second U.S. shale boom, in a massive bet that good times would continue and crude prices would rise.
