A new hobby I have is asking ChatGPT to write something that I know will be terrible.
Today, I asked it to write me a LinkedIn post, describing how I overcame my grandmother's passing by reflecting on the Bootstrapping technique used in data science.
It did not disappoint.

I’ve always been proud to live in a country people wanted to move to. Most of my best friends have been immigrants or the children or grandchildren of immigrants.
I’d like to keep our door open to new friendships.

I attended a #nokings rally today in Barcelona, Spain. I did not have enough time to buy a poster and make my own sign, so I thought I’d share the ones I saw :)

Stock market futures are way up this morning. It's almost like investors view a reduction in tariffs as a good thing.

I made another chart about Target's stock.
The company's stock price has, dare I say, missed the mark.

Of course, Target hasn't been helped by their earnings decline this past year, but it wasn't such a severe decline to explain its stock price's massive drop, nor was Walmart's earnings growth enough to explain its stock price's massive increase.

This is odd, because both companies have had relatively strong earnings growth the six years

I've been getting back to my roots with stock market analysis, which is why I've been posting so much about it lately.
One interesting story I've uncovered is the dramatic difference between Walmart and Target's stock price.

I sometimes like to post about #dataviz that I can't read because I'm red-green colorblind. Usually, I can get around it, but this one is genuinely hard for me. I can't tell which line belongs to which group.
Red and black shapes and text, unless very large, are hard for me to distinguish.

I wrote a follow-up article about whether the stock market is experiencing a "sucker's rally."
I explain the scenarios where the "suckers" will be vindicated.
That would, unfortunately, make me the sucker.

Insetad, the stock market is dropping further, because investors know a recession is more likely than not now.
That jobs reports was reporting last month's progress, before Trump pushed the big red button.

The headline below should be re-written:
"Senate Democrats Vote to End the Trump Tax Hikes, Only Four Republicans Voted With Them"
That is what happened. The Republicans are the pro-tax party now.

Democrats and liberal media would do themselves a lot of favors calling tariffs the "Trump Tax Hikes," because that is what it is. And unlike any other issue, everyone will see tangible data points of how it impacts them through their 401k and higher prices.
