    Why You Can't Cancel Anything and What to Do About It with Commissioner Sam Levine

    New York City just proposed the first municipal click-to-cancel rule in the country, a direct answer to the subscription traps that keep you paying for gyms you don't go to and apps you forgot you had. I sat down with Sam Levine, Commissioner of NYC's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (and former head of the FTC's consumer protection bureau, where the federal version of this rule was written before a court struck it down), to talk about what the rule actually requires, why the city stopped waiting on Washington, and what it's like when even the consumer protection commissioner can't cancel a subscription. We get into what a compliant cancellation actually looks like, how enforcement works (it runs on your complaints:  nyc.gov/consumers or 311), the Roosevelt Institute's estimate that this could save New Yorkers up to $162 million and 600,000 hours a year, and why Levine thinks the deeper stakes are about whether people believe government can work at all.

    San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly and Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin on What's Actually Happening in the Economy

    I sat down with President Mary C. Daly, President and CEO of the San Francisco Federal Reserve, and President Tom Barkin, President and CEO of the Richmond Federal Reserve to talk about the current state of the US economy as we go into 2026. We look back to the past, particularly the 1970s and the 1990s, to understand what those periods can teach us about inflation and policy decisions today. We also talk about the persistent uncertainty we are facing in geopolitics and technology, and the growing gap between the economic data and how people feel. We talk about the headwinds we are facing and the tailwinds to be excited about. And finally, we spend time on what’s often missed in these conversations - the sources of resilience and the reasons that there is still room for optimism. Full transcript at kyla.substack.com
