- One Molecule, Three Victims: Your Groceries, Europe's Mortgage, and the Fed's Nerve
The Most Important Price in America Is the One Nobody's Allowed to Notice There is a truck stop off I-81 in Virginia where a gallon of diesel costs more than a gallon of milk. This is new. As of Monday the national average hit $5.90, a record , eclipsing the one set four days earlier , which eclipsed the one set in June 2022, which was supposed to be the kind of number you only see when Russia invades a country. The 2022 record lasted four years. The 2026 record lasted a weekend. Six months ago diesel was $3.76. That is a 57% increase, courtesy of a war in the Persian Gulf that closed the…
- Labor Day 2026: Three Books on Work, Rest, and the AI Taking Your Job
I am writing this at 37,000 feet over the Andes on a red-eye out of Quito, and think about that phrase for a second. Red-eye . The airline industry looked at a flight that ruins you and named it after the damage. They did not fix it, they branded it. Quito to Atlanta, Atlanta to Daytona Beach, home on Labor Day, which I am observing by laboring. This is my day off. Instead of writing my usual Monday piece, I am writing a different piece. This is what passes for rest among people like me, and if you subscribe to Capital Mischief, people like you. So today I am reviewing three books about work…
- Dear Charlie #46: I Am Handing a Hundred Readers My Novel, and This Week the Room Showed Me Exactly Why.
- I WILL PAY ONE READER $3,000 TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY NOVEL
HarperCollins Has Opinions. I’d Rather Hear Yours. I have a slightly insane proposition for you, although after five years of writing a novel I have lost whatever authority I once possessed to distinguish sane propositions from the other kind. I spent the last five years writing a 148,000-word historical religious thriller called Satoshi v. Goliath . It is 80 chapters long and concerns a fifteen-year-old boy carrying Jewish wisdom, Christian grace, and Muslim devotion in his veins who grows up to create Bitcoin and then disappears. This is what happens when a person fails to develop normal…
- They Gave Me Medals I Can’t Show, for Missions That Didn’t Happen, in Countries I Wasn’t In. Then They Called Civilian Life “the Real World.”
I Am a Decorated Veteran of Wars You Haven't Heard Of, Fought in Countries I Wasn't In Let me tell you about the word classified. Classified is the only word in English that makes a thing more impressive by removing it. Everywhere else, evidence works the normal way. You caught a fish, show me the fish. You built a company, show me the company. But stamp a man’s work classified and the less he can prove, the more you believe him. It is the one resume line that improves with deletion. I have a drawer full of deletion. There are recognitions in there from the CIA, the Director of National…
