The New Normal Is Morphing

PIMCO | - New Normal ... Morphing: " . . . . Back in 2006, PIMCO rejected the consensus view of a “great moderation” (and “goldilocks”) in favor of the concept of a “stable disequilibrium.” Specifically, we argued that stability on the surface was accompanied by weakening and increasingly unstable underpinnings. Our concept of a stable disequilibrium is back. Whether it is due to a lack of timely understanding, an insufficiently agile political system or imperfect policy tools, the collective response to the unusual multi-speed dynamics of the last few years has added this concept to the dynamic characterization of the New Normal. . . ."

New Normal State Budgets

WATCHBLOG: The new normal – or – two charts that demonstrate how screwed Pennsylvania is | PA Independent: " . . . Think the $1.5 billion the state is spending on pensions this year is causing budget problems? The total will crank up to around $6 billion in fiscal year 2034-35. And the annual contribution will increase every single year for the next two decades, at least. The pension crisis is not a passing trend, folks, this is the new normal of state government budgeting. The costs could be even higher and it could take even longer to pay off the debt if lawmakers continue to avoid putting in the full annual contribution that the actuaries running the funds say is necessary, or if the funds fail to generate their expected 7.5 percent annual returns. . . ."

The Gay New Normal

Comment: The New Normal? What is the cost of the new gay idealism? - PinkNews.co.uk: "When it comes to the squeaky cleanness of the new pinkwashed dream, I can’t help but thinking of Dolly Parton’s response when asked if she believed in equal marriage: “Sure, why can’t they get married? They should suffer like the rest of us do”. Gay experience is full of the same emotional turmoil, joy, neurosis, happiness and despair as the lives of straight people – and we risk ignoring this rich seam of gay stories by creating a new normal: a conventional model to which, we should bear in mind, many gays have no interest in conforming. Now that in democratic, free societies, gay life is finally being lived by choice rather than fate, it’s crucial that gay culture reflects the reality of these lives in all their complexity – however troubled, dark, non-conformist or ‘un-normal’ they may be."
