Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

Only children? For the world to invest so much in AI, which is continually giving warnings of imperfection, shows the world is still in its early developmental stage.

Do democratic elections produce right leaders?

A gov't coming to power, democratically, and destroying "storied" institutions, like USAID, PBS etc., is beyond inscrutable.

Need for a new system of elections.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funded NPR, PBS and hundreds of local radio and TV stations across the U.S. for more than a half-century, said on Monday that its board of directors had voted to dissolve the organization because Congress cut off its federal money.

Executives debated whether to allow the corporation to lie dormant after federal funding ended last year, but decided against it.

This man, Stephen miller, may not understand time and democracy. Trump will be out of office in 3 years. What's going to happen then? New administration may want to reverse the Trump doctrine.

this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy
MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want?

Putin:

Today's situation [the war] was created by the Western politicians with their own hands and they continue to escalate the situation.

They keep saying they're getting ready for a war with Russia.

But are we really going to attack Europe? What kind of nonsense is this?
December 19, 2025 at 12:54 PM
But the ripple effects, of a bomb drop, would be felt in Russia and other surrounding countries. Dropping a bomb is not a practical antidote to the conflict. Putin is sensible! Kudos to him.

The "reconnaissance cockroaches'" technology is reminiscent of "Star Wars" technology. It's not practical but meant to scare the Russians to commit resources to react. The Soviets getting a whiff of "Star Wars" might have led to the breakup of the Soviet Union.
