“For a state that relies on population growth & real estate development..”
Gee, but maybe relying on perpetual growth and real estate development isn’t sustainable for any state with a finite landmass to “make a decent living”?
Another old, obsolete idea: strive for equilibrium.
Oh, Never mind!
Warsh should watch the movie The Big Short. And then: Arizona.
So yeah,
….about those subprime mortgages…
Andy Ogles says this like it’s a good thing. Dominant predator across all landscapes. And if we had gills, also the Oceans?
Deezer reports 44% of new songs are AI generated. Some 20OM people use ChatGPT daily, approx 30M use Claude. We are evolving as a nation of “Always More & Better” ,magnetically attracted to stupidity. For convenience. For faux efficiency. For growth— in anything & everything.
Each week under the Trump admin is a new Little Shop Of Horrors. Now it’s Kevin Warsh slated to replace a Fed Chair under a spurious nonsense investigation. (!?)
Trump is the toddler fiddling with a cheap Bic lighter, who keeps finding old dynamite sticks in a shed that should have been locked.
Shreveport. Winston-Salem.
Next?
Well now it’s Lori Chavez-DeReemer , labor secretary that’s out. The cabinet procession out the door continues. Oh well.
Of course they excluded him. In fact, they need to find him a comfortable room in a psych ward,
or:
at the least, an assisted living facility where his incessant grifting can be limited to dime parlor poker games.
Reverse migration? Uh not so good. The bumper crop of older boomers (like me) prolly will need the help…that the Oceanside hide-a-way Van Life remote laptop army may not be as interested in.
(Mark.. I know your’s was sarcasm:) )
Ok! But what does this say when a senator has to introduce a specific bill to declare that something so blatantly wrong is actually “wrong”?
The stack of these bills blocking trumps everyday actions would soon reach the top of Mount Everest. But hey, let’s not change the culture enabling this!
Exactly! Every 6-months the president should perform and pass a qualification test to enable retaining the office. Say, a simple , minimal test of sanity?, integrity?, decency?
touché!
When the criteria for legit driving is more rigorous than the simple popularity contest we seem to use for electing (or retaining) a president… that’s something we desperately need to improve upon.
Hormuz is again “open”. Great.
Trump: Iran will “never close it again”. His prescience into the future is remarkable!
Iran: “uh, actually we’re ‘opening’ the Strait only for the duration of the cease fire”…
Israel: our Lebanon objectives are not complete.
EU: we have 6 weeks of jet fuel left.
😕
😅😅😅👊
Maria. Ask's question.
Trump blurts out some insane answer.
Camera pans to Maria.
Articles of impeachment should have been introduced back when #Hegseth started committing mass murder by ordering strikes on boats carrying people who were never questioned or given a trial.
This is absolutely despicable. I sincerely wish her luck getting her case in front of some sane authorities and getting released.
Very nice. Gotta read more Laux.
Just no—that’s it.
Mike Johnson shouldn’t have waded into these adult level waters.
Just IMHO I think Vance shouldn’t perhaps wax philosophical on Augustine’s “just war” notion in the same sentence as the Iran War. The willful fiction we’ve been at war (virtually?! for 47 years with Iran is just the first off ramp into Folly Land…
More than one way to skin a cat.
Or block the Strait.
(Wars are relatively easy to start. Stopping them? Not so much)
This whole Iran war clown carnival?
It literally has nothing to do with however these politicians define National Security.
Today’s short form poem:
Deja vu, Hormuz.
Ok. Not much more to say, is there?
I keep seeing this unequivocal breathy conflation of “Science is Cool; We support Science!” As interest only in NASA manned space missions.
Please! There’s so much better (earth pointed) science NASA used to do that didn’t involve flying humans just to satisfy curiosity with the view before Mars.
Incredible indeed! And I marvel at the presumed tools used for the carving. And the tool creation skills, motivated by the artists vision of a result yet to manifest… when she/he mused on this vision, then sat down to begin…
