Ruth Patrick on a real life experiment about conditionality & unemployment benefits:
'At the height of the pandemic, the government temporarily paused welfare conditionality, meaning that no one was at risk from a benefit sanction for failing to look for work. During this time, claimants continued to seek work at just the same level as when conditionality was in place, powerful evidence that intensive conditionality is an unnecessary evil'!

The #Fed has satisfied its dual mandate of keeping #inflation & #unemployment low.
But the arrival at that finish line now coincides w/ #Trump’s promise to enact an entirely new #fiscal & #economic regime. While analysts are uncertain about how exactly that could materialize & how severe it might be, #markets have responded by selling off #bonds in anticipation of a return to inflation from a combo of Trump’s pro-*growth* & #combative #trade policies.
