This week on The Horn, Alan is joined by Guleid Ahmed Jama, a Hargeisa-based lawyer and political commentator, to discuss Somaliland's push for recognition. They revisit Somaliland's decision to declare independence from Somalia in 1991 and trace how Hargeisa's relations with Mogadishu have evolved since then. They discuss Somaliland's memorandum of understanding with Ethiopia in 2024 – reportedly granting Ethiopia port access in exchange for potential recognition – which stirred domestic debate and regional tensions, and explore how Somaliland's new administration has been managing relations with both Addis Ababa and Mogadishu. They explore prospects of greater U.S. engagement under the Trump administration, potentially linked to military access, and discuss how Hargeisa's ties with global powers and regional actors might evolve as Somaliland continues to assert itself internationally.For more, check out Crisis Group's recent analyses, “Somaliland's Peaceful Handover Withstands Neighbourhood Strains” and “The Stakes in the Ethiopia-Somaliland Deal”.

Our economists Michael Gapen and Sam Coffin discuss how a drop in immigration is tightening labor markets, and what that means for the U.S. economic outlook and Fed policy. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michael Gapen: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist.Sam Coffin: And I'm Sam Coffin, Senior Economist on our U.S. Economics research team.Michael Gapen: Today we're going to have a discussion about the potential economic consequences of the administration's shift in immigration policies. In particular, we'll focus much of our attention on the influence that immigration reform is having on the U.S. labor market. And what it means for our outlook on Federal Reserve policy.It's Friday, June 13th at 9am in New York.So, Sam, news headlines have been dominated by developments in the President's immigration policies; what is being called by, at least some commentators, as a toughening in his stance.But I'd like to set the stage first with any new information that you think we've received on border encounters and interior removals. The administration has released new data on that recently that covered at least some of the activity earlier this year. What did it tell you? And did it differ markedly from your expectations?Sam Coffin: What we saw at first was border encounters falling sharply to 30,000 a month from 200,000 or 300,000 a month last year. It was perhaps a surprise that they fell that sharply. And on the flip side, interior removals turned out to be much more difficult than the administration had suggested. They'd been targeting maybe 500,000 per year in removals, 1500 a day. And we're hitting a third or a half of that pace.Michael Gapen: So maybe the recent escalation in ICE raids could be in response to this, right? The fact that interior removals have not been as large as some in the administration would desire.Sam Coffin: That's correct. And we think those efforts will continue. The House Budget Reconciliation Bill, for example, has about $155 billion more in the budget for ICE, a large increase over its current budget. This will likely mean greater efforts at interior removals. About half of it goes to stricter border enforcement. The other half goes to new agents and more operations. We'll see what the final bill looks like, but it would be about a five-fold increase in funding.Michael Gapen: Okay. So much fewer encounters, meaning fewer migrants entering the U.S., and stepped-up enforcement on interior removals. So, I guess, shifting gears on the back of that data. Two important visa programs have also been in the news. One is the so-called CHNV Parole Program that's allowed Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to enter the U.S. on parole. The Supreme Court recently ruled that the administration could proceed with removing their immigration status.We also have immigrants on TPS, or Temporary Protected Status, which is subject to periodic removal; if the administration determines that the circumstances that warranted their immigration into the U.S. are no longer present. So, these would be immigrants coming to the U.S. in response to war, conflict, environmental disasters, hurricanes, so forth.So, Sam, how do you think about the ramping up of immigration controls in these areas? Is the end of these temporary programs important? How many immigrants are on them? And what would the cancellation of these mean in terms of your outlook for immigration?Sam Coffin: Yeah, for CHNV Paroles, there are about 500,000 people paroled into the U.S. The Supreme Court ruled that the administration can cancel those paroles. We expect now that those 500,000 are probably removed from the country over the next six months or so. And the temporary protected status; similarly, there are about 800,000 people on temporary protected status. About 600,000 of them have their temporary status revoked at this point or at least revoked sometime soon. And it looks like we'll get a couple hundred thousand in deportations out from that program this year and the rest next year.The result is net immigration probably falling to 300,000 people this year. We'd expected about a million, when we came into this year, but the faster pace of deportation takes that down. So, 300,000 this year and 300,000 next year, between the reduction in border encounters and the increase in deportations.Michael Gapen: So that's a big shift from what we thought coming into the year. What does that mean for population growth and growth in the labor force? And how would this compare – just put it in context from where we were coming out of the pandemic when immigration inflows were quite large.Sam Coffin: Yeah. Population growth before the pandemic was running 0.5 to 0.75 percent per year. With the large increase in immigration, it accelerated 1-1.25 percent during the years of the fastest immigration. At this point, it falls by about a point to 0.3-0.4 percent population growth over the next couple of years.Michael Gapen: So almost flat growth in the labor force, right? So, translate that into what economists would call a break-even employment rate. How much employment do you need to push the unemployment rate down or push the unemployment rate up?Sam Coffin: Yeah, so last year – I mean, we have the experience of last year. And last year about 200,000 a month in payroll growth was consistent with a flat unemployment rate. So far this year, that's full on to 160,000-170,000 a month, consistent with a flat unemployment rate. With further reduction in labor force growth, it would probably decline to about 70,000 a month. So much slower payrolls to hold the unemployment rate flat.Michael Gapen: So, as you know, we've taken the view, Sam, that immigration controls and restrictions will mean a few important things for the economy, right? One is fewer consuming households and softening demand, but the foreign-born worker has a much higher participation rate than domestic workers; about 4 to 5 percentage points higher.So, a lot less labor force growth, as you mentioned. How have these developments changed your view on exactly how hard it's going to be to push the unemployment rate higher?Sam Coffin: So, so far this year, payrolls have averaged about 140,000 a month, and the unemployment rate's been going sideways at 4.2 percent. It's been going sideways since – for about nine months now, in fact. We do expect that payroll growth slows over the course of this year, along with the slowing in domestic demand. We have payroll growth falling around 50,000 a month by late in the year; but the unemployment rate going sideways, 4.3 percent this year because of that decline in breakeven payrolls.For next year, we also have weak payroll growth. We also expect weak payroll growth of about 50,000 a month. But the unemployment rate rising somewhat more to 4.8 percent by the end of the year.Michael Gapen: So, immigration controls really mean the unemployment rate will rise, but less than you might expect and later than you might expect, right? So that's I guess what we would classify as the cyclical effect of immigration.But we also think immigration controls and a much slower growth in the labor force means downward pressure on potential. Where are we right now in terms of potential growth and where's that vis-a-vis where we were? And if these immigration controls go into place, where do we think potential growth is going?Sam Coffin: Well, GDP potential is measured as the sum of productivity growth and growth in trend hours worked. The slower immigration means slower labor force growth and less capacity for hours. We estimated potential growth between 2.5 and 3 percent growth in 2022 to 2024. But we have it falling to 2.0 percent presently – or back to where it was before COVID. If we're right on immigration going forward and we see those faster deportations and the continued stoppage at the border, it could mean potential growth of only 1.5 percent next year.Michael Gapen: That's a big change, of course, from where the economy was just, you know, 12 to 18 months ago. And I'd like to circle back to one point that you made in bringing up the recent employment numbers. In the May job report that was released last week, we also saw a decline in labor force participation. It went down two-tenths on the month.Now, on one hand that may have prevented a rise in the unemployment rate. It was 4.2 but could have been maybe 4.5 percent or so – had the participation rate held constant. So maybe the labor market weakened, and we just don't know it yet. But you have an idea that you've put forward in some of our reports that there might be another explanation behind the drop in the participation rate. What is that?Sam Coffin: It could be that the threat of increased deportations has created a chilling effect on the participation rate of undocumented workers.Michael Gapen: So, explain to listeners what we mean by a chilling effect in participation, right? We're not talking about restricting inflows or actual deportations. What are we referring to?Sam Coffin: Perhaps undocumented workers step out of the workforce temporarily to avoid detection, similar to how people stayed out of the workforce during the pandemic because of fear of infection or need to take care of children or parents. If this is the case, some of the foreign-born population may be stepping out of the labor force for a longer period of time.Michael Gapen: Right. Which would mean the unemployment rate at 4.2 percent is real and does not mask weakness in the labor market. So, whether it's less in migration, more interior removals, or a chilling effect on participation, then the labor market still stays tight.Sam Coffin: And this is why we think the Fed moves later but ultimately cuts more. It's a combination of tariffs and immigration.Michael Gapen: That's right. So, our baseline is that tariffs push inflation higher first, and so the Fed sees that. But if we're right on immigration and your forecast is that the unemployment rate finishes the year at 4.3, then the Fed just stays on hold. And it's not until the unemployment rate starts rising in 2026 that the Fed turns to cuts, right. So, we have cuts starting in March of next year. And the Fed cutting all the way down to 250 to 275.Well, I think altogether, Sam, this is what we know now. It's certainly a fluid situation. Headlines are changing rapidly, so our thoughts may evolve over time as the policy backdrop evolves. But Sam, thank you for speaking with me.Sam Coffin: Thank you very much.Michael Gapen: And thanks for listening.

As a companion to the Guardian's Missing in the Amazon, the global environment editor Jon Watts goes in search of answers to the question Dom Phillips was investigating when he was murdered: how can we save the Amazon? In episode one of a three-part series, Watts explores what's at stake if we fail to act in time. He hears about the crucial role of the rainforest for South America and the global climate, and looks back at how cattle ranching came to dominate and destroy huge swathes of the forest – pushing it to a dangerous tipping point today.

What we want to do isn't always the stuff we give ourselves permission to do. If you're noticing that the compulsories of life are crowding out everything else, take a listen to this episode and get neuroscience based strategies to flip that script. Task lists are elastic. Since you'll never cross everything off they distort your sense of accomplishment and efficacy. It doesn't take courage to plow through mundane tasks. The dopamine hit you get from these low stakes accomplishments masks the fear you feel at tackling those big life goals, robbing you of feeling true satisfaction, purpose or success. Re prioritize your day by blocking off a small amount of time each day to work on advancing your career goals. This will leverage the Zeigarnik Effect to work for you instead of against you. The momentum you get from incremental but regular progress will keep you coming back for the next installment of your success saga. Make time to savor life and have fun. This restores your creativity way more than locking yourself away in task jail. Build restorative time into your daily and weekly routines so it gets normalized instead of feeling like one more thing to do. You get real rewards not cheap dopamine hits.

Much like the early steps to doing better at blackjack than everyone else using basic strategy, poker also has a basic strategy that will instantly improve nearly everyone's game.

Pick your tier and sign up here:https://lowlimitcashgames.com Let's break down the concept of **basic strategy** in poker and why it's the foundation of becoming a winning player. What's Basic Strategy? In games like blackjack, there's a “basic strategy” that players memorize to minimize losses. For example, in blackjack, just by memorizing and following basic strategy can reduce your expected loss from 3-6% (if you're just winging it) to 1% or less. Card counters take it even further by adjusting their play based on the cards left in the deck, allowing them to make smarter decisions and bet bigger when the odds are in their favor. By keeping count of the cards and knowing the composition of the remainder of the deck, this allows them to do things like modify the basic strategy when the count says you should stand on hands you would normally hit. Or split tens which you would normally never do. Or bet 3x or 5x or 9x your base bet. And if you happened to be at a table that accidentally flashed their down card 20% of the time you could massively deviate from basic strategy to crush even more. Poker has its own version of basic strategy, and it starts with preflop charts. These charts tell you which hands to play (and how to play them) based on your position at the table. Unlike blackjack, where basic strategy still leaves you at a slight disadvantage, mastering poker's basic strategy can turn a losing player into a break-even or even slightly winning player—fast. Why Preflop Charts Matter Preflop charts are like your poker GPS. They guide you on: - Which hands to open (e.g., raising from under the gun vs. the cutoff). - When to fold, call, or raise based on your position and the action before you. By sticking to these charts, you avoid making costly mistakes early in the hand. For example, you'll know not to play a weak hand from early position or to raise aggressively with strong hands in late position. This alone can transform your game from losing to break-even or better. Now let's put all of this into perspective and build a plan around it. I'll use another analogy, cooking, to help us develop this plan. Poker Basics: Build Your Game Like a Pro (Even If You're Just Starting Out) Alright, let's simplify poker strategy so you can *actually* remember it and use it. Imagine you're learning to cook: you need to master the recipe first before you start improvising. Poker's the same way. Here's your step-by-step guide: --- Step 1: Learn the “Recipe” (Preflop Charts)** In poker, **preflop charts** are your recipe book. They tell you: - What hands to play (e.g., “Should I raise Ace-King from early position?”). - How to play them (fold, call, raise). Why this works: Most losing players hemorrhage money by playing too many weak hands. Preflop charts fix that. Memorize them, and you'll instantly: ✅ Stop bleeding chips with junk hands. ✅ Make fewer “What was I thinking?!” mistakes. Start with **tight ranges** (play fewer hands) until you're comfortable. Think of it like training wheels—they keep you safe while you learn. What range you should play from each position can easily be found by searching for poker charts online. There are many places with free resources. Just choose one that is tailored to live game and not GTO ranges or online ranges. Adjust to Your “Kitchen” (Table Dynamics)** Once you've memorized the basics, it's time to adapt. Poker isn't played in a vacuum—your opponents matter! Example Adjustments: - If everyone's folding too much → **Loosen up** (play more hands). - If the table's aggressive → **Tighten up** (only play strong hands). - If someone's a calling station → **Bluff less**, value bet more. Key Insight: The best players aren't robots. They tweak their strategy like chefs adjusting seasoning—*a little more salt here, less spice there*. Master the “Knife Skills” (3-Betting and 4-Betting)** This is where pots get big, and mistakes get costly. This allows you slice and dice your opponents stacks at will. - **3-bet** = Re-raise before the flop (e.g., someone raises, you re-raise). - **4-bet** = Re-raise a 3-bet (aggressive moves for big pots). Why This Matters: If you only 3-bet with premium hands (like Aces or Kings), savvy players will exploit you. Mix in *some bluffs* (like suited connectors) to keep opponents guessing. Simple Basic Rule: Start with a **basic 3-bet range** (10% of hands) and expand as you get comfortable. Good charts can help you refine this with 3b and 4b ranges you can memorize as well. Study Like a Scientist Poker rewards homework. Here's how to practice: 1. **Drill Preflop Charts**: Use apps or flashcards (10 minutes/day). 2. **Review Hands**: After each session, ask: *“Did I follow my ranges?”* 3. **Spot Opponent Leaks**: Notice patterns (e.g., “Player X always folds to 3-bets”). **Think of It Like Lifting Weights**: You wouldn't skip leg day and expect to run a marathon. Don't skip preflop study and expect to win. Final Takeaway 1. Learn the basics → Stop losing. 2. Adapt to opponents → Start winning. 3. Practice relentlessly → Crush consistently. Your Homework Tonight: - Pick one position (I recommend utg) and memorize its opening range. Take as many nights as you need to do this. Once you have memorized that position, start on another one. Wash, rinse, repeat.
