If after the election and after coalition negotiations, Netanyahu is still in charge, we will continue to get acceptance of West Bank settler violence and an ethnic cleansing of parts or all of Gaza. If Netanyahu’s opponents are in charge, they will still reject the possibility of a two-state solution, but will limit settler violence and work to implement Trump’s Gaza peace plan.

Some of the left break the world into oppressors and the oppressed, and when they see a group as a member of the oppressed, members of that group can rape, burn, steal, and kill…and neither punishment nor concern is warranted.

Ask someone in a third world country to do some basic addition and they can do it pretty easily. Ask the average American, and they can’t. We’ve become dependent on calculators. AI may be like this for a much broader range of thinking and we risk turning ourselves into morons.
The China shock was actually quite minor compared to the size of the US population. Most lost jobs are due to automation, not China. Tariffs don’t solve this. Dumb tariffs, like Trump’s tariffs, make it worse.
Government debt is a drag on economic growth.

Economies have gotten more productive, and this increases the wages of those doing productive things. But, things like providing education, housing, and healthcare aren’t as much more productive. To keep people choosing these careers, wages for these jobs have gone up too. So, ironically, because everything else has gotten so cheap and productive, these basic things have gotten more expensive. Or at least, that is one reason.

It’s difficult for Iran or the Houthis to make concessions because if they do, they would be accused of being traitors.

The French riots started with typical left wing protesters that legitimately protest. Black bloc anarchists took advantage to skillfully attack police and other locations. As the protests dissipated, there were people everywhere, and it is hard for police to be everywhere at once. Once a level of chaos starts, young hoodlums realize they can get away with shit, and they come in to loot. They loot because they are poor, because looting is fun, and possibly because they are angry about something ideologically.
The protestors are mostly white, and so are the black bloc, but the hoodlums contain many minorities.
Many of these hoodlums were born in France. They were the children of immigrants, not recent immigrants. To the extent that they are angry, it is about historical oppression, failed integration, and anti-colonialist ideology.
The police were undermanned because they underestimated what would happen. A few weeks ago Paris had 15k cops when the Pope visited. For these protests, Paris had 5k.
The far right just want to blame recent immigration, which had nothing to do with the protest nor violence. The left wants to pretend like immigration and race played no role.
The level of crime, breaking into stores, breaking into residences, rioting, destruction…was really bad. Way worse than recent comparisons.
France needs to make serious fiscal cuts, but the people would likely rebel if they tried it…so the country is kind of fucked, and if a political solution is not found, eventually the bond market will sink France.

When is dynamic and personal pricing managing supply and demand in such a way that benefits most people, and when is it just using tricks and technology to screw people?

China is developing secret planes and drones to destroy American and Japanese aircraft and ships.
Under Trump, the Department of Justice has been hiring lawyers with lower qualifications.
The Trump administration fired military officers for following lawful Biden orders. The military is required to follow lawful orders.
