Upcoming crisis-es:

-May 2nd : End of De minimis exemption: Orders under $80 will no longer be exempt from tariffs from China

-May 7th: All flights will require a driver’s license with real ID (new licenses after ~2015)

-The X date: Day U.S. spending cap is reached. Earliest is June, expected around August. Would cut off all federal spending including SS and Medicare.

-The X date bill: Bill that would raise the spending cap through reconciliation – but also cut either Medicaid or the Obamacare Medicare expansion. This would lead to, among many things, most rural hospitals being shut down.

-August-September: With the Department of Education no longer working student loans and accommodation requests will be thrown into chaos

-August – November: Harvest season w/o immigrants and w/o USAID contracts. Mass farmer bankruptcy , but limited time cheap food.

-Nov-Dec: Big Box stores see empty shelves due to tariffs. Smaller stores see it earlier, but Target and Walmart will have warehouse inventory until Black Friday.

-Dec-Jan: New COVID variant and flu variants will cause more strain on hospitals due to the previous closures and anti-vac NIH.

Variable dates: Terrorist attacks, something with Russia and Ukraine, Trump “assassination attempt” that turns out to be a false alarm, Trump health scares, and at least one Cabinet member will be forced out due to crimes and/or incompetence.

Looks like American girls are up to 113 dolls

Wikipedia had bots writing US census gathering-place articles in 2002, 20 years before LLMs were a thing. They’ve got decades of regulations in place, so I am not scared that the quality is going to drop.

So you are saying that crooks could just type up fake ICE warrants and rob rich people?

Lean inventory and just in time supply management for the win!

Trump: with all the port traffic drying up, let make sure it is only non-whites that loose their trucking jobs.

The sun is 8 light-minutes away from the Earth - meaning if it were to disappear the sun would still shine in the sky for 8 minutes after it had vanished.

It takes 30 days for Chinese cargo ships to reach the U.S. from China.

‘Liberation day’ was 24 days ago.

RFK looking over the Autism data: The health implications are clear!

People are use to the color. Dyes get banned. People see what the food looks like without the dyes. People get weirded out over it - like the green ketchup from Sherk promotions. People eat less of it. Health improves due to people eating less (diet and food moderation ftw).

RFK claims success.
