Ever since the citizens of California passed a proposition eliminating California representatives' pay during budget impasses that shut down the state government, we've had a budget every year, 0 shutdowns.

And yet the S&P 500 is up 1.5% today. Hard to imagine that revenge carried out at the highest level of government is good for productivity and profits in the private sector. But, hey! We'll have access to cheaper money soon. #enemiesofTrumpandMAGAmustbeprosecuted #onPatelsEnemiesList

The propensity for humans to lie renders AI unreliable. This is the type of information AI algorithms are learning from. #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #bigdata #ai #AItraining

Ever since the hanging chad we have become more and more like a developing country. The slide is quickening in 2025.

"Starvation has risen sharply since Israel’s total blockade on food aid to Gaza between early March and late May, doctors and rights groups say. ... Israel has since allowed food in..." How benevolent. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/w...

What assholes. "The operation in the [mostly empty] park included 17 Humvees, four tactical vehicles, two ambulances and the armed soldiers. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass "said there were children attending a day camp in the park who were quickly ushered inside...” www.sfgate.com/news/article...

Heartbreaking. "During the 2024 presidential campaign &...the early months of his second term, Trump repeatedly made threats against a host of people whom he saw as his political antagonists, including senators, judges & then president Joe Biden. He called journalists & Democrats 'the enemy within'”

Of course it's happening. Data that used to be easily accessed is no longer available. The web site says the problem will be "fixed" by tomorrow, 6/13; we shall see. I'm trying to access historical weather data, which is usually quick and easy.

Despite the brouhaha over tariff taxes, the majority of our budget is NOT spent on imported goods. Rent (or the rental equivalent of homeownership) is what we spend most of our money on. And AAA says "Pump prices are 36₵ cheaper than last June..." Consumer inflation estimates may be lower tomorrow.
