Other Projects

• The EU trade deal.

  • Unfortunately, I wasn’t the first to market with it and it looks like most of my regular haunts are already saturated with content on that front, even if my article is a little… unique. I’ll probably post it on here tomorrow or Monday.

• Michigan manufacturing

  • Turns out, it’s rough out there right now, and it’s almost entirely due the tariffs. Ironically, it’s almost all in the automotive industry.

  • I looked at local news outlets for my sources for this one, not BLS reports (since those are evidently contentious)

• Detroit vs. Pittsburgh, 1950 - Today

  • This is a longer project that will probably take me a month or so to get done. But it’s been absolutely fascinating to go through the economic histories of these two great cities.
