ROSENBERG: ".. You call this a 'stabilizing' labor market?
".. The unemployment rate .. would have spiked up to 5.1% had the labor participation rate not fallen from 62.5% in November to 62.0% in February, the lowest it has been since December 2021 (almost all owing to the 25-34 year-old cohort.)"

I don't even suffer his voice generally any more but this is just disturbing.
You are having fun taking something out of the context of the thread and that's fine.
It's not interesting or relevant but you do you.
Pretend that the US doesn't have areas of outperformance and you are just being performatively dense. Other countries have their own areas.
Yes there is a historical political definition. Also, yes, it is commonly used to refer to the underlying structures enabled by your definition, it's products.

'The term "American exceptionalism" was rarely used after the 1930s until U.S. newspapers popularized it in the 1980s to describe America's cultural and political uniqueness'

Interesting. It's certaintly possible that the effect I saw was because it wasn't anonymous. People knew the person whose eyes were posted.
I wonder if Ted would like it if a future POTUS redefined cost basis to include tax advantages used when acquiring assets.
I doubt it.
Weird that he hates 'activist' judges but likes a (same party) activist POTUS.
It's definitely a biological phenomenon but I'm not sure how it flows into the (sub)conscious mind.

No, I know what I said. I wasn't whitewashing other behavior. I was talking about the factors that contributed to the positive contributions made by the US to the world order since WWII.
More than one thing can be true.
Speaking about something in context invites whataboutism but it's exhausting
Seems like a species that would only have escalators.
It literally feels like the US has gone off it's meds.
Every time I think this admin can't have a worse response to a press question, they prove me wrong.
The economy is starting to feel like a soapbox derby car built by a rich dude for his son: very flashy, very expensive, might explode if it hits a bump.
Who builds the houses, harvests the food/groceries and pays into social safety net without getting it back?
Crazy take.
A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible:
"They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."
US exceptionalism was constructed from:
* rule of law / property rights
* welcome to immigrants and vistors
* Established university/research ecosystem which feeds novel businesses.
These are all shot to hell.
Cronyism and violence no way to maintain a populace.
The implicit military/national security value of SpaceX and Starlink are hard to value but sure to be _very_ large. How that converts into market cap I'm not sure.
One one hand it clearly acts as a multiplier.
OTOH if Anthropic is a supply chain risk and can be sanctioned, 100x for SpaceX.
It's a shanda.
The chaos of this administration is really not sustainable so it will continue ... until it won't.
Whether there is a successful impeachment and conviction next year or enough people leave agencies that effectively cripple the government, something will stop it.
I used to work in an office where the guy who cleans up the kitchen put a picture of just his eyes (2 inch vertical cross-section of his face eyeline) on top of the coffee machine and people's behavior 100% improved. They refilled the pot and cleaned up after themselves.
Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success
This headline and subhead are completely misleading as _no new_ limits were placed. The subscription agreement had aggregate limits in place and they are abiding by them rather than allowing 'extra' redemptions.
Yes, people are fleeing but this case by itself doesn't really add any info.
Marc Elias with some good news:
“As of Tuesday night, Democrats have overperformed in 253 of 283 key elections since 2025, and Democratic turnout reached levels we have not seen in decades.”
Yay!
I don't think a lot of players hit a pall like JB and you either adjust or you prevent her from taking big cuts/make her hit away from the center of the court.
So not suprising a good player will change it up.
JB looked pretty good but just wasn't stepping into the court.
I was helping my son with a writing assignment last night. It took him 20 minutes to write it unassisted, and an hour and a half of us rephrasing his own writing in a way that didn’t flag it as AI with ZeroGPT because otherwise he’d get a 0. What the fuck are we even doing anymore.
after not filling the strategic reserve like he said he would.
it's a wile e coyote moment.
Screenshot of an X post by Dan Scavino reading, “Happening Now in the Oval Office at the @WhiteHouse. God Bless the USA!” with prayer, heart, U.S. flag, and eagle emojis. Below is a photo inside the Oval Office showing Donald Trump seated at the Resolute Desk while a large group of men in suits stand around him in a circle with heads bowed and hands extended in prayer. American flags, gold drapes, and framed portraits are visible in the room.
“Iran is run by religious fanatics.”
This story should probably get more attention - @jamiesmythft.bsky.social rpts anlaysts are warning Trump’s decision not to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve drained by Biden has left consumers exposed to an oil price shock www.ft.com/content/d546...
