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!
I have to admit surprise that it is an American. BUt then the prognoticators always seem to get this wrong . . . or at least lately
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 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
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.
I think there is some good and some bad happening. Some of the USAID projects were wasteful, and others were dumb. If we can get some alignment there it will return the leverage that was intended, and/or save some money. Conversely this tariff stuff is darned distracting and wasteful in the near term, and potentially recessionary in the long-term.
I guess I would also like to make sure the executive branch does not over-step its bounds and stays in alignment with the other 2 branches. That may be the most concerning possibility
THings will obviously continue to play out . . .
I am really conflicted on this. Tariffs really help my company . . . and thus my pocketbook. Yet I continue to believe that tariffs also delay investments in productivity generally, which is not good for US competitiveness in the long term. I’ll be watching throughout this week while I contemplate all this!
I agree strongly with this. Dilutes the award and the word “honor”. I am lost at more than half of the list.
