I’m really sorry to hear about your diagnosis Claudia. My mother had breast cancer and I know it’s awful. Sending you my very best wishes from afar.

Claudia,

There's something about a Substack relationship that creates a level of closeness between reader and writer so as I wish you the best with regard to your treatment, it's a sentiment I feel deeply.

For posterity — everyone please report impersonating profiles and scammers to substack directly for violating their policies. Do your part to keep the community healthy

Hi Claudia, I am a normal, non-economist but economically curious person. I started reading your substack thanks to Paul Krugman’s references to your work. I love your clear and comprehensible, no BS writing. So thank you for that. Thank you too for including readers like me in the information about your health. I am sending my strongest and most hearty wishes for great outcomes.

I wish all the best. Although I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you, I have seen many of your interviews and read a lot of you. You seem a very nice and caring person. Hope everything goes well. BTW "Sahmthing else about the SAHM rule" is one of the best titles ever.

I’m sorry about your diagnosis. Terrible news. We want you healthy & happy. I’m just one of many who appreciate your work. When productivity conflicts with the need for the rest and relaxation you may need for recovery, please choose recovery.

I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, Claudia. I'm hoping that you have a full recovery soon. Your newsletter is awesome and provides great insights to those of us who are technical people but who are not economists.

Claudia, you must feel scared. I wish you the most success with chemotherapy.

On the note of jobs, it's another reason for the "Jobs Guarantee" program as proposed by Pavlina Tcherneva.

Thank you for the post. And thank you for sharing your personal situation.
