Edit: guess they’re talking about the oil markets in isolation. But I still would want numbers, COVID was probably a larger shock, just in the other direction.

It’s a valid sentiment, but hard for me to support when there’s a tremendous amount of human suffering and wasted resources as the cost.
I’d rather have no war powers granted by Congress because we know trump will ignore it anyway… One more crime to add to his pile 😓. Of course, Republicans will probably end up passing something for him no matter what Dems propose or do, so kind of pointless to pontificate.


Two of my favorite are from Antoine de Saint-Exupery:
“What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.”
“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” (Also attributed as a Native American proverb)
For me: boxes stay around for 2-3 weeks. Then my kids get art supplies and are set loose upon it. Depending on the success of said art, it can stay around for months (a large furniture box turned into “Kitty Cat Castle” which still stands in my daughter’s room over a year now) or set out with the next recycling.


It probably does give him the name recognition that will win the primary. I also think his chances are better in the general election than Crockett.
Ah, yes… I want AI trained on the nonsense the average user is typing to their friends… A step above texts, but still likely filled with poor grammar, misinformation, spelling mistakes, spam, and invites for a child’s birthday party.
GIGO, for what tasks do they think this new AI model will excel? Writing even more spam emails?


Sign up window is already open! Need to wrap these discussions up so you’re not wasting more money trying to figure out refunds… Or having to change enrollment systems to accept requests after the current window so people can react to the decision on subsidies…

The better to smell you with my dear.
Agree on most of this.
I’d emphasize that while “we” (the USA) didn’t diversify, many others have. China keeps looking like it’s coming away a winner from all of trump’s missteps. They’re already a leader in battery and solar; benefiting from having ramped up renewables so much; and while the US is distracted in the Middle East can probably get away some shenanigans in their part of the world with far less blowback than would have happened a year or two ago.
Republican policies would be comically self-defeating… except it’s hard to laugh when they make so many people worse off :(
And somehow their own failures don’t lead to their defeat at the polls, I still struggle coming to terms with that.
