My car is getting serviced so I decided to spend the last hour and a half reading about federal economic policy. This is a fantastic and dense read from Jessica Reidl at the Manhattan Institute. manhattan.institute/article/a-co...

Yet again, actively working on making things worse for most Americans.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 11mo agoThe Trump administration says it will drop a plan by former President Biden that requires airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when U.S. flight disruptions are caused by carriers.
The current people in charge of the United States of America are all unified around a single goal: make everything in America worse for just about everybody.

Just wasted part of my afternoon not passing the appropriate liberal purity tests on BlueSky. How was your day?
On Sunday, July 27th my brother was severely injured in a rockslide while hiking the Sangre de Cristo mountains. He's currently in the ICU and facing a long, hard recovery. We've set up a GoFundMe to help his family during this time. Anything you can give would be deeply appreciated.

Something to understand about measles is that if you do contract it and survive, it completely resets your immune system to zero. You have to revaccinate against everything. You lose all inherited immunity from your mother. Many measles survivors die from a later illness because of this.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · last yr.LATEST: Measles outbreak in West Texas soares to 198 cases, the Texas Department of State Health Services says. • In New Mexico, health officials say 30 cases have been reported in a county that borders Texas. • 23 people — mostly unvaccinated children — have been hospitalized in West Texas.
Trump is ruling by EO in order to avoid Democrats in Congress using the same obstructionist methods that Republicans did during Obama & Biden presidencies. GOP Congressional leadership is happy to cede powers to the Executive for the very same reason, with the added bonus that they avoid blame.
The internet was a mistake.

An administration looking to remove all guardrails to crime.
To really reduce federal spending, Trump should buy the GLP-1 patents and provide the drug to Americans at cost. Solving obesity solves so many other health problems, and healthcare spending is roughly $1.6T of the $6.7T budget, nearly double our non-defense discretionary spending.
YES! Bring on the fines! And make them GDPR-sized! Otherwise noncompliance just becomes a cost of doing business and nothing changes.
