What would be a similar, extinction threatening event in biology, chemistry etc. that would prompt medical experts to offer more helpful analogies rather than dissect this guy’s attempt to shore up his field?

Though the bill failed to advance, EC and CFTC rules "could achieve much of what the legislation sought to." However, agency rules are open to interpretation by a future administration #finreg www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Interesting piece. I like the idea of “informed refusal” :) To this end, the disclosures should be listed first. I got to the end and realized that I still assume a human author when I start reading. If I found out that the piece had been mostly written by Claude, I would have felt dumb reading it.

THIS IS NOT THE 90S part X--the internet boom was capital light, national savings rose w/ profits, the federal budget moved to surplus. The AI boom is wildly capital/debt intensive, national savings has dwindled so it is *very* dependent on global capital--holding onto monetary credibility is key...

Let me ask you this as well: Do you think this is “America’s Suez”? If so, how does the current US leadership (by which I don’t mean T’s posts) compare to the British at the time? I happen to follow both of you - it would be a shame if nothing came out of this conversation :)

So, based on my reading here: 1) adm warrants are not judicial warrants 2) ICE can enter a private home in “hot pursuit,” of an undoc. person Am I following? Q: does ICE need to know that the person they are pursuing is, in fact, undoc. or is it enough to suspect this for them to enter the home?
