To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Trump properties in Indonesia received special tax status Rebecca Jacobs March 2, 2021 Share: X * f The Indonesian government granted a special tax status to a new development that includes three Trump-branded properties earlier this month, in a move that is likely to financially benefit Donald Trump and appears to have been in the works since long before he left office. This represents yet another entanglement between the Trump brand and a foreign government, just weeks after Trump left the presidency and was freed from constraints on his foreign business deals. As Trump considers seeking the presidency again, deals like this remain enormous conflicts of interest.

I agree. The marginal gains are trivial for most use cases, and the "PhDs in your pocket" is really "sounds like someone with a PhD but actually requires the user to have one to know when it hallucinates."

For all the legitimate worry about the abuse of the US National Guard, we should acknowledge that leaders and soldiers have behaved incredibly professionally. Stephen Miller's hopes for escalation will not be fulfilled by them.

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan.

“Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations."

I spoke with @cnbc.com about digital store labels and their impacts for US retail: efficiency gains, automating a thankless task (changing price tags is like watching paint dry except more labor-intensive), but also challenges related to transparency and fears of surge pricing.
How digital price tags could change the future of grocery shopping
The rising popularity of electronic shelf labels in U.S. grocery stores could pave the way for dynamic pricing in brick-and-mortar food retailers.

Whether or not we’ve hit Peak Oil, we’re well past the point of Peak Oil Employment in the West.

And even with automation to support exploration, drilling, and operations, that dwindling workforce spells secular decline.
