A fascinating article on the inherent limitations of AI especially when compared with human intelligence and cognition. By the foremost expert on human linguistics — Noam Chomsky. nytimes.com/2023/03/08/opi…
AI will mean massive layoffs and unemployment for people in many different kinds of jobs. No sector will be safe.

Remember how third-party Presidential candidates in 2000 and 2016 may have split the vote & helped to decide the outcome. In 2024, one or more of such candidates could even throw the election to the House of Representatives to decide. Watch who might be financing them and why.

Child labor has re-emerged as a national issue because of the limitations of immigration over the past few years.
Washington DC needs to be a state and be able to decide what their laws should be — not Congress.
On this day in 1877, just two days before inauguration, the U.S. Congress declares Rutherford B. Hayes the winner of the 1876 U.S. presidential election even though Samuel J. Tilden had won the popular vote. This compromise essentially ended Reconstruction.

If you think the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is bad, wait until the Republican Party refuses to raise the debt ceiling. This would cause the U.S. to default on its obligations — producing a ripple effect, making the 2007-2008 global financial crisis look mild in comparison.

5. FWIW, there's lots of historical precedent; the Capitol hosted religious services all the time pre-Civil War. But in recent times, Rotunda vigils are often tied to protests: In 2011, liberal-leaning clergy were *arrested* for holding a vigil. religionnews.com/2011/10/12/cha…
4. …Can people just hold worship services in the Capitol Rotunda? Like, if another religious group of a different persuasion wanted to hold an hour-long service in the Rotunda after 8:00pm, can they just…do that? Does it require permission? Or member participation?
3. Oh! One other thing: This event took place at around 8:00pm, when there were very few people in the Capitol. I was in the rotunda by myself for a while before they showed up. But it's unclear if Feucht had a permit and/or permission for this, which raises a question…
2. It was a low-key event compared to Feucht’s past large gatherings. There was singing but also, again, a lot of instrumental strings, lasting less than hour. Feucht invoked the Asbury revival, but this event was small — noticeable given the build up. I was the only reporter.

before fdic, when the titans of industry in the banking sector played with your money and lost it on wall street, you were just screwed, like in the great depression. the same way your pension could get pissed away before social security was created... by fdr.
today is a good day to remind people that your bank deposits are secure because in 1933 fdr signed the banking act, which created the fdic to protect your money when a bank goes under. thank you big government, you saved our asses again.
