Uh-oh. @radiofreetom.bsky.social says the new US counterterrorism strategy reads more like notes for a campaign speech -- "a mess, replete with typos, hyperbolic assertions, and an obsession with Joe Biden." I feel safer already. Not. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Trump Counterterrorism Strategy Makes America More Vulnerable
The policy is unfocused, run by amateurs, and concerned more with the president’s many grievances than with the security of the United States.

When you flood the economy with cash, each dollar buys less. More dollars chasing the same goods. Prices rise. Your purchasing power shrinks. It's basic supply and demand. The worst part? Wages don't keep up.

The US dollar lost 30% of its value over the last 6 years. Think about what that actually means. $100K in 2018 is equivalent to $70K today. When the government prints more money, your dollars lose their value. You pay more for the same things. Groceries. Rent. Gas.

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives making this point:
The months between signing and ratification were a busy period for the country. The proceedings of the Constitutional Convention had been kept secret, so each state needed to inform its voters of what exactly the proposed new government contained. Congress therefore directed the state legislatures to call ratification conventions in each state, with delegates specifically elected to approve or disapprove the new government.

However, this meant that each state from New Hampshire to Georgia had to receive a copy of the text, submit it to public debate, elect delegates, meet, vote, and return the results to Philadelphia. In an era where the speed of travel was limited by horseback, stagecoach, and boat, this was no quick feat. After the end of the Convention the news of the Constitution spread out in a wave, and thousands of copies were republished by local printers and distributed for debate. A flurry of newspaper articles, pamphlets, and public meetings followed, hotly debating whether the Constitution would be a good framework for a new national government.

Part of the debate and ratification process involved translation: non-negligible portions of the electorate spoke languages other than English. To reach them, the document was translated into Dutch in New York and German in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Politicians have made public statements that sent prices up or down. They've sat on committees that set policy for entire industries they invested in. They've voted on legislation that directly moved stocks they held. And none of it is technically illegal.

- Average MBA debt sits around $80K-$100K (before interest kicks in) The ROI is falling. The risk is rising. Business schools are in panic mode right now. For decades, schools sold one idea. Pay $150K now. Earn it back in 3 years. That math doesn't work anymore. The scam is finally collapsing.

Business schools are now cutting MBA programs by as much as 50% due to falling demand. Applications are collapsing and the reasons are impossible to ignore: - AI is wiping out the white-collar jobs MBAs were built to unlock - The job market for new grads is the weakest it's been in years
