There's nothing inherently wrong with climate change. It's just that the ecosystems and built environments that we depend on as life support systems aren't equipped to handle the rapid changes. So if we want to live, we should deal with climate change ASAP.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

The Federal Reserve is too data-driven for TB and the White House. Perhaps this was the same problem they had with the NSF, CDC and NIH ?

Trump exempting computers & phones from the tariffs today means that Chinese-made laptops now have lower tariffs than European Cars, Mexican Steel, & Canadian Lumber.
Also means Vietnamese-made laptops have a lower tariff than Ethiopian coffee, Indian tea, & Guatemalan bananas

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

If anyone ever gets to speak to a GOP office holder, can you ask them what’s the plan? Even if the markets hold not a single country on this planet trusts us. We’ve got some grace bc of reserve currency (that might cause people to overlook our insanity for a moment in the hopes we’ll come to)…

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

[Scholarship is] where we’re nearest to our humanness. Useless knowledge for its own sake. Useful knowledge is good, too, but it’s for the faint-hearted, an elaboration of the real thing, which is only to shine some light, it doesn’t matter where on what, it’s the light itself, against the darkness

In many areas, China now keeps pace with the West or possesses the technological edge. China is increasingly a technology leader and more than capable of innovation.
The world should take the prospect of Chinese tech dominance seriously, and start preparing now
Washington and its allies will have diverging priorities as they enter an age of increasing Chinese tech leadership.
