Is anyone surprised by this? Cancelled 10 days before the conference. This was a conference typically attended by several hundred people. I was a speaker in a couple of breakout sessions in 2020 and earlier. I imagine many people bought nonrefundable tickets.

Does anyone know if Mr. Musk will be subject to drug testing in his new position as a Federal employee? It’s a standard thing. Or is that one of the regulations that will be eliminated? If so, will it be eliminated throughout the whole Federal government or just for him? Not a rhetorical question.

If you know anyone who is foreign-born with US-born kids then now would be a good time to remind them to submit an application for a US passport for their kids. Actually, last year would have been a better time, but now is probably still better than later.

I’ve removed my retirement funds from the Federal Thrift Savings Plan and put them into Vanguard and TIAA IRAs. I recommend that others over 59.5 or retired do this too. There’s no reason to keep your money where future distributions or withdrawals could be constrained by future Executive Orders.

#4 The total amount of pay from 2010 to 2024 that was less than inflationary growth totaled about $155,000. That’s an average of about $10,000 a year for 15 years.
To have kept pace with inflation the annual raise would have been about 2.2% every year, but the actual was about 1.5% per year.
