May 24th, 2023: My new book DANGER AND OTHER UNKNOWN RISKS is out now and it's getting really good rev No one seeks to justify the indefinite imprisonment of people who should have been released years ago.

He was reacting to research published by the Federal Reserve evaluating how confident Americans were about their own finances and the nation’s more broadly. What the data suggested was that there was a gap, that while three-quarters of Americans said their own finances were doing all right, only a quarter said the national economy was doing well. On Monday, the Federal Reserve released the 2022 iteration of those same numbers.

Now, the gap with the local economy is 35 points, with fewer than 4 in 10 Americans saying their local economies are doing well. Only 2 in 10 Americans say the same of the national economy. I include social media in that indictment. There is no material reason that Americans should be so sour about the economy.
