That’s shameful.

Thank you, Lyn. Please keep posting here so I don’t have to check the blue bird app anymore!

It doesn’t have to be this way

Hopefully, AI manufacturing will help America out of the woods and continue to grow.

Sadly….When we’ll be ready (bc we’ll be forced) to revert … it might be too late

Well exporting our polarization to the rest of the world should help with that. An increasing share of a shrinking pie has a history of success. Right?

It's challenging to maintain a growth mindset with data like this. But I do deeply believe that human beings will persevere and come out of this stronger and more resilient, regardless or how polarized the world feels right now. Fortunately, I can think of just the tool that might help us get ther...

It really is an ugly chart

What happened to make it still like it has since ~2008?

Oof 😬

There are a few multi trillion dollar amazing industires that are developing. Ai, space, crypto. If the US doesn't watch out they will lose them and that chat will go down hard!

For example, Global South countries are fed up of just being massive factories and crave what the US has aplenty: research and development, marketing services, etc. They want to move up in global value chains, but it’s to...

Ya but I feel like manufacturing output is a pretty sad measure of progress. We need less knick knacks and cheaper housing/food... #[0]

Does massive money printing count as industrial production?

🤙🏻⚡️

Very good chart and point

There are people fighting over how you split the pie, and there are people working to make the pie bigger. Choose wisely. #[0]

How is this possible when more and more things are being produced? More cars, more tvs, even more housing.

How is industrial production measured i wonder? Is it number of iphones? :)

More gold(you know what I mean) from #[1]

thanks for posting on here. I love your work, and the more good content on here, the faster the network effects will work in our favor.

That is the saddest. It'd so sad I couldn't share it with my wife. I'm glad I got to share it with my favorite macro analyst, Lyn Alden, but still sad. 😔

Nice graph. Although that might be the case for many developed countries. Imho problem is that since population in US is still growing, the pie is being perceived smaller for them, compared to countries with shrinking populations ( japan, swiss, etc)
