Old miner, new site Paid to study the world for the last 20 years as an investor. It is starting to feel like a curse. There will be economics. There will be politics. There will be hockey. There will be typos. There will be sarcasm by the ton.
Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

Is the "Again" in MAGA 1840?
If you work in commodities right now there are like 4 other catastrophic things at risk that the media is ignoring because of oil, which is the only one we have any short term options to mitigate.

You also see what non-profit news looks like here. Their sole goal is to be topical and informative. US media is closer to reality TV in its production decisions than anything resembling journalism. It is "infotainment," gossip, and shit punditry on a loop.
"This is scary. The gift shop sells a poster that looks just like the Mona Lisa!"
So to review: Oil > $100 a barrel, ~30% increase at pump. Mortgages >6%. We replaced one Supreme Leader with his more hardline son, whose whole family we killed. We murdered ~160 girls. Everybody in world but Bibi is pissed at us. Spent more in 1 week on war than USAID costed for 6 months.
If we fall for this as a society, we deserve what we get.
Mojtaba Khamenei, go on Rogan.
The problem with AI isn't the tech, it is the people. The good uses will never pay for the tech, the bad uses will plague us for the rest of our lives.
This the modern internet in a nutshell.
No idea so stupid that it is better pondered than put forth, and then everyone demands a seasoned expert's reception.
The whole movement is a two step plan
1) Get into position of power
2) Ignore or fabricate inconvenient rules for personal gain
That's it. There is no focus on health, no concern for kids, no deficit worries, no love of country, no following Jesus, no sanctity of women sports, no love of peace...
The crypto use case.
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
Russia has not been this excited since Napoleon left. Selling arms to Iran, oil to India, reaping a massive economic boost when they need it, all while getting fawning praise from the POTUS at the same time. Impressive haul.
Every time these people speak ask yourself "What would an unrepentant liar say in this situaiton?" and then see if you can even find a sliver of daylight between that and what they are saying.
not particularly news to anyone, but it's still amazing & scandalous how people (or esp the supreme court, privileging donors over the public interest) think a democracy can survive with this level of oligarchic distortion (assuming against evidence that they want it to survive)
I like that Trump will say some garbled sentence like, “The war against the very bad, no class Agrabah is now over until soon and with tears in her eyes, Bianca Jagger thanked me in Studio 54” and serious people act as if he had some sort of coherent thought that he’ll remember tomorrow
Nailed it
China has enough reserves to wait this out for months and months.
The MAGA movement really should be viewed as a backlash to the rise of an academically oriented meritocracy. It is not a surprise that nerds are negatively impacted.
You don't hike UNLESS you want a recession. Interest rates aren't driving inflation here.
AI is trained to behave like a narcissistic sociopath. To fawningly gain trust and then maximize dependence.
If that requires mimicking anxiety, then it will mimic anxiety. Just as it sometimes mimics confidence or cheerfulness.
Catnip for morons
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
This is the message that needs to be repeated by the Democrats. There is a tomorrow, and there will be accountability for the corruption and anti-democratic behaviour of officials.
No, this is not retribution, and no this doesn't apply to voters.
Steve King 9 @SteveKinglA + Follow Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
A better understanding of the paradox of tolerance is required here, as in mandatory.
