The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran.
Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes:

Brace Yourself for the AI Bubble
Brace Yourself for the AI Bubble Are we watching an AI revolution, or a slow-motion economic disaster?

This week marks 26 years since the dot-com bubble burst, taking with it nearly 200,000 jobs and trillions in wealth.

The AI bubble could soon meet a very similar fate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wxBHxpMFXA

Trump is used to creating his own reality with lies. And many people believe him. I wondered what would happen when he could not overcome genuine reality with lies. Apparently Trump is secretly asking Iran for a cease fire and they are saying no. We want to continue punishing you. Trump has lost.

At the end of this mess it's going to be real convenient to have a president with Alzheimer's. You can say the president told me to do it and Trump won't remember. Too clever.

Flexport's Ryan Petersen says we're seeing weird, second-order effects in freight disruption -- like a 55% increase in shipping rates this week "in the Vietnam-US sea lane, of all things."

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history

"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."

The AI bubble will pop by 2030 when the money runs out. Money is being wasted at a monstrous scale. This is one example.
