Things I think are of note in the realms of law, technology, and political economy.
This photo is both literally and symbolically ironic:
- Literally because this was a presser to tout Trump's lowering of GLP-1 drugs, and a GLP-1 patient passed out behind him
- Symbolically because the photo represents a Marie Antoinette-like indifference of Trump to the suffering of Americans in the face of his pro-billionaire austerity administration
Does the BLS benchmark revision downwards of almost 1M jobs thru March 2025 prove "Trump was right"? No. I got the BLS updated series, and charted and compared the data. Results: Biden (in his final year) demolished Trump-2 in his first year so far, with a 2.6x greater rate of job creation.
