Elect the unqualified, expect the unmanageable.
The "Disappearing Chinese" workforce is one of the most dramatic demographic shifts in history.
As rules-based trade collapses & supply chains fracture, can India build sufficient buffers in fuel & fertilizers to shield itself from geopolitical shocks?

Japan is stuck in the slow lane.
New charts show Japanese carmakers are still dominated by gas and hybrid engines in late 2025. Even Toyota, the hybrid king, has a tiny sliver of pure electric sales.
Are they betting on the wrong horse?

My favorite scene from the Bible
This Amarican President should be put in a museum!
But nothing has changed… the laughter has just gone louder.
This man knows that the citizens of the US have realized their mistake in electing him as President. Now he is busy making money for his family and friends by manipulating the market. As soon as the markets get stable, he utters something to dislauge the momentum. What an Ass!

ABA therapy can cost $45,000 to $100,000 per year, depending on intensity. Add to this the Insurance companies' argument that "the number of children diagnosed with autism would increase" under mandates, driving up costs. It's all about the balance sheet, I guess.
Costs are spiraling from $121M to $1.1B in some states. Private equity owns 85% of acquisitions. Are we helping kids, or feeding a broken system?
Autism diagnoses have quadrupled in 20 years, but severe cases stayed flat while mild cases surged. Why? A diagnosis unlocks insurance coverage. The result: ABA therapy visits exploded from 7M to 28.5M in just 6 years.
