“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, esp. those with vocational training,” said Karp. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”

Here’s the really bad part: over time, this dynamic breeds bigger and bigger crises.
Markets keep updating their beliefs about TACO, so it takes ever more extreme actions to convince them he might not TACO.
Buckle up.

The single best theory of the last few months
The TACO cycle:
Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.
So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

I was saying this about Hunter X Hunter before JJK, but if you’ve seen me talk about JJK you know I still nodded emphatically at this
JJK has solidified that a more complex power system doesn't mean a better story.

The Greenland situation has so many variables that it seems foolish to assert anything beyond “This is varying degrees of bad for everyone in the world. Needlessly.”

The thing that's struck me about the first few weeks of Zohran's mayoralty is how he's really effectively capturing what used to be the GOP's bread and butter moves - cutting regulation on small businesses and free enterprise - as a socialist
the contrast between Zohran and, like, Karen Bass is pretty remarkable. Zohran has a clear vision of a more affordable and sustainable city and forcefully supports pro-housing polices as a key part of that vision.
Meanwhile, Karen Bass doesn’t seem to believe in anything in particular at all

“In a statement, Siegel said the department’s failure to pay rent, combined with its “national reputation for recklessness, chaos, and public disorder,” warrants the move. “We will not accept their blood money,” he said.”

There should be tribunals
DOGE likely perpetrated the most serious, far-reaching data breaches in human history, and we will be dealing with the consequences for years.
Many DOGErs should have been, and still could be, prosecuted for these crimes.
