In which the Mayor of Miami admits to placing literally zero thought or effort into a speech he gave to open the new Moroccan Consulate in Miami.
He read what AI told him to say "word for word."
Honestly how disrespectful to the first country that recognized the U.S.

Worst part of socialism? The government pushing its finger on the scale, picking winners and losers etc.. and what that can mean for innovation and competition.
Worst of capitalism? The belief that democratic process (the masses) should have no role whatsoever, EVEN AS THEY MAINTAIN OWNERSHIP.

So the US is doing something similar to socialism with the Trump acquiring massive shares of important companies...
But per the fine print it seems like the worst aspects of both socialism and capitalism are rolled up into a single new industrial policy.

I'm visiting Cork, Ireland. Every single Saturday there's a march against the intentional starvation of Gaza. They see it very clearly and with no qualms bc as an Irish friend told me, "We were also starved and millions of us died, not too long ago." More of the world should be like Ireland.

Looking through the Miami-Dade budget proposal:
County wants to slash staff, merge departments etc.. They're going to remove lifeguards and "transition to a 'Swim at Your Own Risk' model" at public pools.
In the meantime, the proposed budget for sheriff is up $184 million compared to last year.

NEW PODCAST ALERT:
The private train company Brightline is broadly considered the future of US rail. Yet it's the deadliest train in the US -- by far.
In "Killer Train" we look into: Why is this happening?

Love how the website for the brand new (spectacular) largest camera ever built (by the US) just has source code lining the entire top of the website. I was told smart programmer people were running the government now.

The anti-feminist MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) Party registered in Florida in mid-April.
The Florida Reform Party was started by Miami Beach commissioner Ricky Arriola in 2024., He was censured by Dem party after a story I did in 2021. But he's raised no money and missed filing deadlines.
