there's a thing in moderate democratic politics where it is considered fundamentally illegitimate to deliver results to your own voters; instead, you must propose a better way to implement your adversaries' entire ideological program

I’d restate the vibecession puzzle slightly: not just the gap btw macroeconomic conditions and perceptions of the economy, it’s a gap btw (sociotropic) perceptions of the economy and perceptions of one’s own economic conditions. Americans are much more sanguine about their personal conditions!

With Trump's arrival in office, data center construction accounts for nearly all construction. This is not a healthy economy.

The problem with seeing AI as an end and not a tool is you completely miss how it fundamentally layers into the way our economy/society is already structured. We don’t have the incentives to use AI for increasing factory productivity. We do for extracting maximum profits out of services.

Yes, and it's ridiculous that people on here think the average person reads a headline like 'OpenAI model goes rogue' and doesn't hold OpenAI responsible, whereas some long-winded, technically-exacting one will rouse them to action.

It’s that Donald Trump would invoke the Flying Tigers, a unit in what became the ROC Air Force, which still exists in Taiwan and honors their memory. On the other hand, China erased the Nationalist roundel on an I-16.

I heard Navarro's claim about exporting magnets to allies when I worked at DOE, but had never seen it in writing so was hesitant to discuss it. It is absolute BS. Not only are we many years away, we will be producing cost-uncompetitive magnets that cannot be sold to customers outside the US.

Benjamin Netanyahu's greatest political strength has always been the fact he understood American politics better than his political opponents in Israel did and even better than his American critics did. But the political center of gravity has changed significantly and he caused it.

“We need more help affording healthcare for our family. Our health insurance tripled this past year and we can barely afford to pay for it plus afford food! We were hoping Trump, with his business sense would figure out a way that every person in the country would have health insurance, the price of food would finally come down, and the price of gas would be at its lowest ever. Instead, we are at war…” – 54-year-old rural voter from Wisconsin, Republican

Gonna get dragged for this but there is an active Chinese state effort to create a civil society narrative for unfettered free trade with China and surrendering to an imagined great Chinese electro state. There are middle ways!
