I would grill up hotdogs while grilling other stuff. She loved grilled hotdogs. (So do I😀) One day I mixed a warmed up grilled hotdog into Kraft Mac and Cheese. For the next month I was the god of cooking in her mind because she loved it so much. It became a staple food for her.

One of the reasons population growth/decline is of interest to economists is that directly impacts work. More people working generates more GDP, taxes, etc. The US having static population growth is kinda bad for us all. It means that it’s harder for our economy to grow.

Feel free to call me a Cro-Magnon... I was raised primarily by my 4 grandparents. So I have a drilled in belief that one of the responsibilities of a man is to protect women and children. I know most women don't "need" my help, but if it came down to a choice between my life or theirs, I know.

Familiarity is now a weapon in social engineering. If you are in a position of needing to make sure that communications are valid you need to come up with a way to deal with identification. Houthi's transmitted a message to "give up" using the enemy leaders voice. Identification is a problem.

NO ONE should be feeling like they are "outing" themselves for anything that they believe. I feel that's true even for people who I don't agree with. As long as they don't try to force that belief on others, I am more than willing to talk with them and understand each other and our beliefs.

This is vital. The formula used to calculate "inflation" has been changed. Comparing the latest values against previous values is an "apples to oranges" comparison. Honest and consistent government data is vital to a healthy society. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_DH...

The policies of the Trump Admin are crushing our economy. And this is especially bad since government can have a multiplier effect when spent intelligently. Infrastructure can increase the local economy where it's happening. Buying Corporate Bonds for specific industries will help them grow.

I'm glad the lawsuit is being brought forward, but the law that allows this must be changed. It should always be focused on individuals and less on the agency itself. When the agency is sued it means that tax payers are the ones actually paying the price. It should be focused mainly on the person.

SCOTUS Roberts is a Judge I cannot respect because he's overseeing the court that is destroying the Constitution he swore an oath to protect. My father is a retired lawyer. His only religion was the Law. He believed in it, knew that his purpose was to protect it, and would protect it. Not Roberts.

The possible war coming in Ethiopia/Eritrea is an example of what the US used to work on, that we are no longer doing and probably couldn't now because of the lost trust. Biden's admin was able to quiet this down, but that's all. There was a need for a lot more diplomacy and money from USAID.

Other countries are increasing their stored Diesel, because the US is talking about banning exports, and the US Supplies 16% of the world's diesel. So talking about the ban is causing the price to increase. Trump is helping the Oil companies make greater profits.

Trump Attack on Jerome Powell is still having effects after Powell is no longer Fed Chair. Your headline is missing some vital context. This is solely being investigated at all because Trump is a whiny man-child who lashes out at anyone who doesn't do what he wants, i.e. he attacks all who say no.

Farm Exports from US TO China have fallen 78%. China has diversified their food dependence away from the US. Trump's Trade War started with China in his first term. See what happens 8 years later? One of our main exports to China is down for billions of dollars. Tariffs makes trade balance worse.

Until now, US Treasuries was considered the safest asset in the world to own. It paid interest and trust in the US Economy and Government was supreme. No trust anymore. That's why the "Bond" markets are "crashing". That's US Treasuries. This is because "US Foreign Policy is erratic". Trump.

One little fact I’ll add. The 2025 US GDP is $30T. So they will need to increase the GDP “bigly”. Want to k ow why Trump wants AI so much? That’s the only way to pay the massive debt he’s run up.

I am starting to believe that AI could make Socialism work. The main problem with Socialism is that the planning is impossible. The closest that we have ever come to a possibly working Socialism is Project Cybersyn developed by Anthony Stafford Beer for Chili 1971 - 1973.

Capitalism cannot work with AGI. With AGI there's no need for the capitalists to need people, they can make money using their capital and the robots coming from it. Capitalism with AGI would mean that our only purpose is to buy stuff. And with no capital we couldn't do that.

Ban Diesel exports for only 90 days. Worldwide prices of Diesel skyrocket. Discover that we don't have pipes to ship diesel from Texas to the rest of the US. Diesel price in US goes up. Refineries keep running at max and storing the Diesel that can't ship. Ban ends. Oil Companies Profit exporting.

I am a capitalist. But I believe in the idea that as a society we take some things and socialize them for the benefit of all. I know the market is efficient, but that it's also brutal. That's why government regulations exist, to maintain market efficiency but also to remove some brutalities.

It's the entire world at this point. Not because the world is dependent on the US economy. But the world needs oil and his stupid war in the Middle East has destroyed the balance of the movement and refinement of oil. Some countries are already having problems, most in the next 6 months.

The lack of trust in the US government impacts internally as well. Serving in any government agency is now subject to the whims of the President. So why work for any of them? FBI, CDC, NOAA, NASA, FCC, FAA, IRS, etc. are all jobs that you can no longer count on being consistent or fulfilling.

Plugging libraries... Libraries always have books, but lots of them have DVDs, CDs, toys, and passes for local museums. Some of them also have online streaming/ebook services. Usually for free. Kill your subscriptions after checking out your local library. Possibly give money to them instead?

I like this as a local example of the impacts of climate change. This wasn't really a glacier, but it was a large snow pack that was locally loved. A tradition space, to visit regularly, family trips, a place to stop when you visited, etc. Not major in physical harm, but a loss for local society.
