One of the things I learned writing a book about global trade is that thing you got delivered next day started its journey *months* ago in China or SE Asia.
A few months from now you will see an explosion of stories about empty shelves. It’s going to blow people’s minds.

Is this bad? I'm no international shipping expert, but this sounds bad.

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13.

Predicting El Niño and La Niña is tough, but new research analyzing 20+ years of forecasts finds dynamical models outperform statistical ones, especially for El Niño. La Niña onset? That's been much harder. Read more in our new ENSO blog post! www.climate.gov/news-feature...

One thing I do not want to get lost are changes under Bill 38, Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act.

We're not hiring *Black people who ask hard questions,* specifically. Steele is a sellout, but Black. Menendez seems like a lightweight to me, but we'll see. Townsend might push, but on a panel she'll be automatically constrained. Well, good thing I already stopped watching MSNBC.
Feels like we are entering an era where the hushed conversation in a lot of (all-white) media boardrooms is, in careful euphemism, “we’re not hiring black people in major roles anymore” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Ms. Reid’s 7 p.m. program will be replaced by a panel show co-hosted by Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele.

I think about the possibility that those engaged in conflict will focus on the most extreme members of "other side", saying 'LOOK! LOOK! DO YOU NOT SEE!?'. While simultaneously ignoring the most extreme members of their own group doing similar or worse things.

“MAGA stands for resegregation and racism”
So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that
