It’s a spectrum, of course, but the autistic people I know are incredibly creative, successful, smart, and just generally great people to know. RFK Jr’s description more closely describes Republicans at this point.

Probably Trump's idea -- he's going to need a scapegoat soon and having Lutnick visible during the big decisions will help cement him as the culprit.

The sad truth is that once a dispute with a bank or insurance co or medical provider gets to a certain point, NOBODY wants to hear from you about why you don't owe them. They just want to hear about getting paid. That's when it's good to have someone like the CFPB around.

I lived in Santa Fe for about 20 years and still get down there every now and then. I may take a look sometime next year if I can... FYI did you know your neighbors at Tilted Shed started making cider in NM before going to Sonoma?
