This Ph.D candidate is going back to community College. I'm not ready to write my dissertation. Most affordable option is to take a couple of online classes where I teach. My student loan payment is 160% of my mortgage payment coming out of Save plan. Was half this amount before.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

Feds: Let’s target this nonprofit that literally cannot engage in anything beyond peaceful civil disobedience as anything more would jeopardize their 501c3 status Also feds: For some reason they are focused on deescalation and when we said the Magic Crime Words they weren’t interested????

Also, Also robber barons and the many financial problems related to that lead eventually to the great depression and the rise of Nazism.

We also had a gold standard and a financial crisis almost every year back then as we approached the harvest where bank lending expansions could not keep up with a farm loan economy that needed to expand and contract with the seasonal needs of farm loans and harvest payouts.

There it is. While you struggle to afford groceries, or find any that are edible, and pay thousands more every year in gas, rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Impossible to imagine. But probably our typical weeknight potato which is a red potato, mandolin sliced and roasted. Some come out soft, some slightly crispy, others crunchy like a potato chip. One dish, many potato outcomes.

Anybody who’s still advocating putting these tools anywhere near a school is not doing so despite the cognitive collapse they cause, but because of it. dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...

Abstract
Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative Al affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered Al adoption in a difference-in-differences design. Al adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months.
High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of Al users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. Al users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-Al users experience small learning losses.

No. Taxes have never financed government spending. Rich Americans were taxed and that is how you reduce inequality and prevented excessive inflation. Additionally, taxing the rich offered the benefit of depriving Nazi types of excessive power gain from their chrony-corrupt-capitalism.

For the last seven months straight, the U.S. government has refused to process immigrant visas for nationals of 75 countries around the world; including visas for spouses of U.S. citizens. Today, a federal judge ruled the policy flagrantly illegal.

Map of the world, with the 75 countries impacted highlighted in yellow. They include countries in South America like Brazil and Venezuela, about half of all African countries, and most Middle Eastern countries.

MYSTERY MEAT: Trump says he struck a deal to flood the U.S. with cheaper foreign beef. There’s just one problem: He refuses to tell Americans which countries the beef is coming from. And U.S. ranchers are furious.

Mystery Meat: Trump Refuses to Say Where His New Flood of Foreign Beef Is Coming From

Trump says he has struck a deal to bring 300,000 metric tons of cheaper foreign beef into the United States. There’s one detail he won’t reveal: who the deal is actually with.

Close Trump aides — but no Cabinet officials — made secret catering truck move

The president was accompanied by some of his most loyal aides but no top administration officials as he made the clandestine move to a different plane to leave Turkey last month.

It’s been 9 years since white supremacists descended on Charlottesville, VA — bringing deadly hate and violence and serving as a preview of the increasingly-normalized extremism that’s followed. I led the organization that sued those Nazis and won. Here’s what we learned. 🧵A thread. 1/

Happy anniversary of Nixon’s resignation to all who celebrate. That should be all of us, and especially those who cherish a moment when the Congress, at long last, found the courage to do its job.
