Notes from Podcast:
Joke of the Day
“I was going to tell a time-traveling joke, but you guys didn’t like it.”
News……………
Jobs: Applications for state unemployment benefits rose to 853,000 last week, the highest level since mid-September. Applications from self-employed and gig workers for a federal program rose 48{6d4268f65dadbc32e27b9ddb671399bc76fc30b7e0d43f501bccb3785b685f91}, but that program expires Dec. 26.
Housing: A homebuying boom has added a collective $1 trillion in homeowner equity this year (an average of $17,000 per homeowner), according to CoreLogic.
But a crisis is brewing in the rental market: 11.4 million households are behind on rent, and Americans could owe $70 billion in rent, fees, and utility bills after a federal eviction moratorium expires this month, Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, told Bloomberg.
Wealth: In Q3, net household wealth rose 3.2{6d4268f65dadbc32e27b9ddb671399bc76fc30b7e0d43f501bccb3785b685f91} to $123.5 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve, aided by rising real estate and stock portfolio values. But household debt rose 5.6{6d4268f65dadbc32e27b9ddb671399bc76fc30b7e0d43f501bccb3785b685f91} to $16.4 trillion as relief programs ended.
Big picture: That slowing recovery isn’t expected to perk up over the holidays. Surveys of economists show rising pessimism about employment and growth prospects in Q1, especially as stimulus negotiations stall again.
Yesterday, a panel of outside advisers to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that the agency authorize the vaccine created by Pfizer and BioNTech for emergency use. The FDA doesn’t have to follow through with the panel’s recommendation, but it usually does.
One knotty ethical question for the Eleanor Shellstrops out there: The committee debated whether participants in the vaccine trial who had unknowingly been taking a placebo should be “unblinded,” or told it was a placebo and given an actual vaccine.
Unblinding would hamstring the research process…but it would also get people vaccinated.
Feds saying its up to states to decide who gets the first shots
