We are just smart enough to recognize that contemporary Democrats have more in common with the old Soviet Union than modern Russia.
Nah, that's how you tell everyone you're as ignorant of Soviet Union and "modern" putinland as you're of most everything else, like physics, economics, medicine and history.

You don't get rid of the worst 10% of your work force, but on average, the 10% you lose is less valuable than the 90% you keep.

Its all Hollywood accounting
Samsung is going to "lose money" on selling a smart phone, because Samsung had to pay Samsung more money for Samsung RAM/NAND.
They're just shuffling around profit centers.

The summary for some reason thinks that there are only two frontier AI labs, Open AI and Anthropic, but there are three: Open AI, Anthropic, and Google.

Crash repair is completely disregarded by modern automotive designers because they don't want damaged vehicles returned to service. Mechanic of many decades here. All paint deteriorates so the more complex the coating the more difficult to correct for age.
That means more full paint jobs required which easily puts many vehicles "beyond economic repair".
Automakers know Americans given the choice between blowing a burning bobcat and and consumer protection would be covered in scratches and shit.

If you build the refinery here, now you've gotta hire a bunch of people, have to pay them, have to do all the labor union stuff (breaks, lunch, vacation, PTO, 401K, stock options, insurance)... so they don't make as much money from refining as they expected.
But, fear young Padawan... here comes everyone's best friend, AI to replace all the human workers! And, then... we'll bring back manufacturing and staff the factory with nothing but robots run by AI and computer vision.
