She said she hopes her own rule will “break” for the first time in 2023 — that the jobless rate will go up somewhat, as is predicted, but there won’t be a full-blown recession. I also enjoyed an email from the Louisiana hydrologist Bob Jacobsen, who said he hopes the government and media will change how they describe flooding risks. Over any 30-year period, he wrote, “a flood level with a 1 percent annual probability has a greater than 1-in-4 chance of occurring.” And Hans Olsen, the chief investment officer of Fiduciary Trust Co., told me he’s looking forward to higher interest rates in 2023 because they’ll shake out investments that make sense only when money is essentially free. “Failure is more meaningful when money has a real price,” he said. “It’s elegant, and it’s the way things should be.” What I love about my job is the opportunity to speak with fascinating people and share their ideas with the world.
