Damn. Of course, when police brutality of minorities in England is taken into account, British and American cops have a lot to answer for
American police fatally shoot 2 ppl a day
British police have fatally shot 2 ppl in 3 years wapo.st/1IwMqcX http://t.co/Gn2zj86zHS

The headlines
Trade was the biggest spoiler for US growth in Q1, with the gap at its biggest in 30 years: bloom.bg/1d3kCSA http://t.co/aGWUAFXQSp

Michelle Jamrisko (@mljamrisko) May 29, 2025WASHINGTON (AP) - US economy shrank at 0.7 percent rate in Q1, reflecting harsh winter and bigger trade gap.

The details and the facts
Q1 GDP revised down from +0.2% to -0.7%, which is bang on consensus. So the BEA reckons the economy contracted, and no-one believes them.
—
Justin Wolfers (@JustinWolfers) May 29, 2025Much more important than the headline number: A better measure of GDP—called GDI—says the economy actually grew 1.4% in Q1. That seems right
—
Justin Wolfers (@JustinWolfers) May 29, 2025****
What's the news in this report? The GDP number, while negative, exactly met expectations. But GDI was much stronger. On balance, good news.
—
Justin Wolfers (@JustinWolfers) May 29, 2025Another way to look through the seasonal adjustment problems with GDP is to focus on year-ended growth, which was 2.7%.
—
Justin Wolfers (@JustinWolfers) May 29, 2025****
Interestingly, GDI growth in Q4 was also revised up from 3.1% to 3.7%. So the income-based data looks both stronger and more realistic.
—
Justin Wolfers (@JustinWolfers) May 29, 2025And final sales to private domestic purchasers -- that is, the persistent part of GDP -- rose 1.2% in Q1, after rising 4.5% in Q4.
