• Real rates spike: Siegel notes real 10-year rates rose ~40bps in three weeks (10yr TIPS at 2.81%), with markets now pricing possible Fed hikes in October and December amid strong GDP data.
• Meta's Muse disrupts inertia: Nearly 1M downloads; Sam Rines got $75/month in savings via automated phone-bill negotiation, filed property claims across three states, and cleaned his Gmail inbox—prompting Amazon to block Muse integrations.
