He always regularly violated Wheaton's Law. But more and more he's become just an annoying waste of time with his "attitude policing". That's a block for me.

I just don’t think this is free of doomerism. The analysis acknowledges that this is likely just a test run for firing Powell. And yet, the one agency SCOTUS has deigned to defend is the Fed (distinguishing it in Wilcox). Was that distinction bs? Yes. Will SCOTUS stand firm? Who knows

Unless somebody says, "and so I don't think we even bother trying," I don't think it's ever fair to assume a post predicting an unhappy outcome is "doomerism" like a lot of people clearly did. To be frank, I'm starting to read "doomerism" as just "even if you're right, don't make us feel sad".

To me, doomerism is despairing predictions that ignore all possible counter-evidence—especially now that many are subconsciously seeking affirmation from institutional resilience But I hear you! I will say, it’s also probably tiresome for larger news accounts to constantly be seeing “this ends bad”

Agree the tone policing is a bit much. I value Geidner's work, but the beauty of this platform is *you* get to decide what you want to say. Don't have to take orders from anyone. If it's a problem, mute or block are available, but using a high profile platform that way isn't called for.
