    Mick, to clarify your point, are you saying being an American citizen is detrimental because there are so many potential immigrants eager to compete with us for jobs?  Based on the attractiveness of moving to America?

    I am unsure as to how effectively we can assess cognition.   But I am hugely in favor of term limits, which I argue would achieve the same end!

    wow, this really concerns me.  moving a lot closer to different armed agencies actively at odds.  Better ways to resolve policy disputes, plus the persons aren’t here “legally” in the first place.

    Sounds like the squeeze is on for various players in the alcoholic beverage market, versus this is truly a California issue.   Not saying california doesn’t have issues–my company has two sites in SoCal, and as we do with many states often ask various “what if” questions.

    jobs data is interesting against backdrop of WSJ article this morning on CEO’s starting to talk more openly about AI-driven position elimination.  unfortunately this is probably behind a paywall, but some of you may be able to read it

    Holy Hannah, this is like a virus that governments won’t tackle budgetary issues properly!  and now NYC may be headed in some illogical direction.

    Thankfully at least some states seem to continue to have balanced budgets!

    Mick, you raise a great point.  I have to admit that I am concerned AI might define “benevolence” differently than one might via a human-centric lens.   On the flip side, what about embedding something in my head that will augment my natural intelligence?   Could be a stunning productivity boost!

    I wonder, if like bankruptcy, this will be something that happens “gradually, then suddenly”

    I will add my concern that the Venezuelan deportations have gone too far and been made in haste.   And I do agree that the lens of history will view them like the Japanese internments in WW2.   We shall see . . .

    I don’t like the rhetoric nor the bluster and implied threats.   But . . .

    with arctic seas becoming more ice-free, important to have the right presence in those geographies.   Great that we have Alaska, yet even that huge state may be insufficient.   It remains a long-term geopolitical imperative for the US to ensure we have strong allies, bases, and the right presence “up there”.  Acquisition of Greenland is one option, and hope hope this and other administrations are working with multiple governments on this.

    she definitely has amazing instincts, and so yes, I am afraid of her.   I long for both parties presenting reasonable albeit distinct agendas.   Right now I am watching for which one will do this, an don’t see 2 parties with reasonable agendas on the horizon for years.   obviously opinion with many strongly disagreeing with me

    Mick, your posts make me think.   This one has me dizzy to the point of nausea!

    Recessions do correct economic imbalances.  Most economists aren’t predicting one currently, but with 1st quarter GDP projected to contract and these deep debt piles, things could be ripe.
