I have been following you on Tick Toc and here for a while now! This is awesome and so needed! So many people are feeling lost and depressed by what has been happening. I am retired military and retired Letter Carrier, so like 90% of my income is from government retirement and Social Security. I have been inspired by listening to your videos and comments.!

I listened to it just now on Apple. I’m … optimistic. Actually, I’m excited. I’ve bookmarked and shared more of keds from TikTok than any other creator. I love the depth. I feel smarter than I am

Wow those are such kind words! Thank you for sharing them with me.

I agree! I always feel smarter after listening to KAE.

This sums up my experience exactly!! I’m forever talking about KEDS with family and friends, and sharing what I’ve learned.

I love your TikToks. They are so educational and easy to follow. I just recently started reading your Substack and I’m so glad I did! The first episode of the pod sounded great. I genuinely look forward to more avenues to learn about how our economy works and how it can work better!

Congrats! I listened to your podcast and loved it. You are right about optimism being the antidote to cynicism. Plus cynicism is a cop out; it requires no bravery or action. Thank you for being an example to us all and for the incredible economic insights that you give concrete language to. Brava!

Reliable babysitters and quality hairstylists deserve their recognition for the supporting role they played in this podcast.

Thanks for your work! I feel smarter and more optimistic after every Keds post. Your first episode was a great intro and intention, looking forward to more.

Thank you so much for these kind words. We were so nervous!

I’m dying. Y’all are hilarious. Also, constantly fighting to defend the title of the podcast as you name all ways things are fracked.

But great reinforcement of the macroeconomic perspective and where 90% of people will experience the challenges. A lot of balancing of concern for people and real experiences with trends and general stability. Things aren’t apocalyptic, but being better than apocalyptic means we aren’t doing that much and we can do so much better.

In my top 5 podcasts now.

Great to hear that you have a podcast. I would be interested in what your professional opinion of an interview Tucker Carlson did with Robert Lighthizer and what is getting right and wrong and potential implications.

Thank you for putting yourself out here. We need your voice to continue forward, and explain from an economists perspective, where is the optimism in this Buckshot blast of Insanity. While I appreciate your humility about yourself, please reach up and out and explain with educated gusto, what you are seeing through the snake den of 2025 play book take down. We were warned, but maybe you can explain how it's all illegal/ landing. Good thinking to bring along a trusted editor to RedBull your fortitude. I'm all ears.

We have to have a platform and a leader. The courts need us in the streets now to support their gavel. You thought there were only 3, but we have 5 branches. The media is the 4th branch, and we the people are The 5th branch of this government. We march when we have had it. We have had it. March on DC! https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/a-just-movement?r=3m1bs
