I finished well over 500 distinct books this year outside of work. Here’s how. 1. Made regular trips to the public library to fill my backpack after a quick glance, sometimes with awesome librarian help. 2. Read a few each night to my 5-year-old daughter.

It asks whether we should rely so heavily on Fed interest rate hikes, which risks great sacrifice. Another option is to first fight as much inflation as possible through policies that strengthen the economy. https://southerncalifornialawreview.com/2023/12/27/inflation-market-failures-and-algorithms/03 Jan 2024 13:43 +0000at://did:plc:g4ypd4vz4ik4rzqcczoi3ius/app.bsky.feed.post/3ki3fae5cz62hhttps://bsky.app/profile/vanloo.bsky.social/post/3khorgwgtlj2pIn a heartbreaking year, some bore a heavier burden. I was inspired by those deeply connected to tragic world events who still somehow continued to function, be kind, and give to others. One of my hopes for the coming year is that the world gives them more back.29 Dec 2023 13:17 +0000at://did:plc:g4ypd4vz4ik4rzqcczoi3ius/app.bsky.feed.post/3khorgwgtlj2phttps://bsky.app/profile/vanloo.bsky.social/post/3kgys3eb2jd2cExcited to share something I co-wrote in the Chicago Tribune, reporting findings suggesting that Amazon buries the best deals low in search results.

It’s relevant to the recent FTC antitrust case but adds another layer.
