His preference is to indulge Israel’s worst excesses and plea that they’ll come around and eventually be reasonable?
What year was it when Netanyahu spoke to Congress and humiliated Obama?
Some ‘special ally’.
It’s time for sticks, not carrots, if this relationship is to survive.

Sure, the author is a former Ambassador to Israel & must toe a line to keep his policy job, but this is a milquetoast defense of the indefensible.
Mr. Shapiro seems unable / unwilling to acknowledge that a policy of threatening the cut aid to Israel might be about incentives-based behavior change.

In 10 years time, when China’s auto innovation opens an unsurpassable lead over the U.S. auto companies and becomes tariff-proof, we’ll see the Big 3 coming for more bailouts.
But it will be too late. No amount of bailout money will resolve market myopia.

Your framing is entirely that people don’t care about the common good. Wow. This is Trump thinking.
Perhaps we could shift the incentives towards delivery cost innovation and still pay doctors and nurses a handsome wage.
Last I checked, they’d still be doing better than under private equity.

Hi - subscriber here (for now) with a serious question:
What does Mr. Mazur imply here? The level of protest against RFK’s regime seems *awfully* mild…

The next Democrat administration should tax them into the ground and prosecute them for enabling authoritarianism.

This is an important topic but it what is needs is a lot more synthesis and summarization. Clarity begets action.
All this whining about how most people don’t pay attention to the nuance. Sometimes, rambling wonkery is the problem.

And further, if it’s ’not clear’, no credible PUC should approve consumer bill rate hikes until it’s made clear.
This isn’t an academic argument - at 25% increases over 5 years, we’re talking about some number of households getting their power shut off in winter.

Fairness: a principle that the drivers of increased costs should pay for those costs. When a utility company goes hat in hand to the PUC, they’d better come with an analysis of the consumer’s role in cost increases. As in credible multiple regression models that are independently validated.

Perhaps utilities need to optimize their grids or pay construction costs to grow. State governments should force all those costs to be funded by the drivers of that growth: data center firms.
It’s maddening that we seem perplexed at cost of living challenges - when it’s clear how they emerge.

The conclusion of the 10 minute preview appears to be ‘It’s complicated’. But campaigning on the fact that electric bills have risen by 25% since 2020 isn’t complicated. Perhaps some of this is climate change, but PUCs should prevent any costs of Data Center growth from being passed to consumers.

Then why are rates rising in so many regions? This analysis would be at odds with rate increases, unless greed is the driver.

I believe the editors garbled the headline.
It should read: ‘Kiss our public health system goodbye’.
That should have been apparent by interview #2.
If not, Michael Scherer is not a very good reporter.

Her recent art makes a useful broader point: that we scrutinize AI & VR as being loosely tethered to reality, yet stories and images we create are cropped, told slant, or made up to fit who we aspire to be. They too are loosely tethered to reality. Perhaps AI's quirks are an uncomfortable mirror.

Laurie showed this leftmost photo during her ARK performance - also from her MASS MoCA exhibit. Her prompt was ‘horse-drawn wagon’ but the image is a blur without structural delineation between horse & wagon. The image feels simultaneously authentic and hokey. Fun? Yeah. Confidence inspiring? …
