Thank goodness it's Thursday. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I miss working in offices: talking with colleagues, eating snacks, and taking in views.

But from a business perspective, these amenities aren't a priority anymore – not even in one of the top buildings in San Francisco.

Hey there! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC, but more specifically I'll be at the Fintech Nexus conference today with my colleague Paige Hagy. Come say hi if you see me. Just mention the newsletter so I know you're one of the good ones.

It's already Wednesday. I'm Diamond Naga Siu and I really enjoy writing our newsletters, but Eve Upton-Clark's latest Discourse story has me thinking about side hustles.

Howdy readers. I'm Phil Rosen, writing to you from New York City.

The Oval Office is no stranger to high drama, but Tuesday's meeting held particular gravity — President Joe Biden met with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other congressional leaders to hash out debt-ceiling particulars.

As expected, the rendezvous produced nothing definitive as far as conclusions.

In any case, one outcome that many hold with a high degree of certainty is that financial markets are going to feel pain if the "x-date" bell tolls.

It's tech (and tip) Tuesday. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I definitely feel "tipping fatigue." I always pay at least 20%, but this extra cost is a big deterring factor for eating or going out.

Good morning, friends. Phil Rosen here. Today we're talking housing — but before we get to that, the big thing to watch today is President Joe Biden's meeting with congressional leaders. 

The cadre will look to resolve the hotly-contested debt ceiling stalemate.

Experts have cautioned that the so-called "x date" — when the country tips into a catastrophic default — could loom mere weeks away.

Monday, Monday — can't trust that day. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I also sometimes don't trust my own facial recognition skills.
