I'm shocked! How inaccurate claims by Trump were used to justify executive actions www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
How inaccurate claims by Trump were used to justify executive actions
Many executive actions reflect Mr. Trump’s messaging, in some cases closely echoing inaccurate claims that have long been a feature of his public appearances.

This.
And we will be able to innovate and create more with less.

It's an entrepreneurs dream come true. What took paying a lot of people to do , someone can do them self.

And the tech is so advanced there will be applications and businesses we never imagined
Mark, please don't tow the ridiculous line that the only impact of AI will be more jobs. We will be able to do more with less. Decades of automation has increased productivity and increased inequality. Yes people lost jobs and got new ones. Many jobs paid less and were less secure.

Not just AI but tech in general.
Someone needs to remind the CEO that at one point there were more than 2m secretaries. There were also separate employees to do in office dictation.

They were the original white collar displacements.

New companies with new jobs will come from AI and increase TOTAL employment.

So happy he's our governor.
Nice job!
Pharmacy benefit managers’ business practices have operated with little regulation, transparency, and accountability for far too long.

Illinois is putting an end to that and leading the nation in bringing transparency to PBM drug pricing.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
