Fascinating interview with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on @cnbc.com this morning: He said that US manufacturers can use robots to offset the low wages paid in other countries, enabling the return of more production to the US, and Americans can get jobs building and maintaining the robots.
Hi, it’s me, your neighborhood robotics business guy, to inform you that if robots were actually ready to automate a process at scale, they would likely already be deployed

lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

“Abolish ICE” is at 42% support and that’s *without* adding to this question the obvious paired policy proposal of absorbing its bureaucratic functions into an INS-like agency

ICE is now behaving in such a way that even Tucker Carlson’s favorite Holocaust minimizing, Hitler-apologist “historian” is like “hey now guys, this is getting a little out of hand.”

Somewhere between 45% and 60% of American credit card holders revolve their balances. An interest rate cap at 10% would mean these cards are almost all going to be canceled or turned into dark pattern fee machines that make overdraft fees look quaint.
i love how there's a small but non-zero chance the president may nuke consumer credit in 8 days simply because he's so fucking stupid
JPM DESK: If a credit-card cap were implemented, “there would likely be a significant reduction in credit offered, .. so this would be a de facto monetary tightening. What would be the analogous number of rate hikes ..? I am not sure, but feels like it would be similar to multiple rate hikes.”

There's extreme paranoia about ICE tracking people using videos or whatever. People think anonymity is what keeps them safe, when in reality it's numbers.

The Minneapolis observers are driving them absolutely crazy and they're likely spending as much time fighting against us as they are doing abductions - which is good, and the goal - but also deranged. At this point their primary mission is terrorizing the people who oppose them being here.
