Congress will pass legislation that modifies the DMCA to make ad blockers illegal after the ad tech companies give Trump a gold bauble.
Then the refrigerator manufacturers will put a time delay lock that will prevent opening until you have viewed the ad--your presence will be verified by a mm wave sensor.

the feather to leaf however might be an overreaction, but ultimately harmless.
Is it harmless? That's an opinion. Not one I share either.
Is the change an overreaction? That's also an opinion. My answer is, it is no more an "over reaction" than people clammoring for the change in the first place is .
Why is it NOT an overreaction when a feather needs to be changed because someone somewhere was offended, and removing it offends someone else? Who's Offense Matters MORE? Is it offensive or is it honoring? That is the real question and who gets to decide?
And Who gets to decide who decides? Thats the real problem.
This might not be such a good idea as Vegas was begging Canada to come back. Their tourism isnâ(TM)t what it used to be and talk of 51st state has turned off Canadian tourism.
Indeed, I fully agree. The funny thing is, monthly numbers would help us move away from the distortions of the quarterly cycle. If key data reporting becomes frequent enough, you can't get into a cycle of "do adverse-numbers stuff early in the quarter and then cram positive-numbers stuff into the end of the quarter". You have to - *gasp* - just run your business normally.
Some businesses could still manage to switch to a monthly cycle, but anyone who deals significantly in transoceanic feedstocks/parts/goods shipments won't be able to.
BLS numbers aren't some sort of dark art. They're literally just the compiled numbers reported by companies. Numbers are what they are. To fight against jobs numbers is to fight against reality.
People get confused by the existence of revisions. The problem is that not all data gets reported in a timely manner. When late data comes in, it causes revisions to the earlier reported numbers, either up or down.
Firing the head of the BLS because you don't like what numbers US companies reported is just insane Banana Republic-level nonsense.
Yes, he fired the same person who was ultimately responsible for putting out crap numbers.
US reporting has always been the gold standard. Nobody has accused the BLS of "crap numbers" until Trump decided he didn't like them. It's is so way outside the norms it doesn't even resemble something that could conceivably happen in the US; this is banana republic-level stuff.
Yeah, as an investor, my reaction to this proposal was, oh HELL no.
Dutch Tulips!
Nothing new under the sun. This is the same same. I view most Crypto currencies this way. They are mostly worthless, with people waiting to rug each other.
TL / DR:
BLS chief: "Jobs are turning bad now."
Trump: "Fake news, you're fired. I'm appointing a January 6th rioter conspiracy theorist to head the BLS!"
BLS today: "Jobs were ALREADY bad!"
The fact that you take at face value a revision of Biden-era job numbers, immediately after Trump fired and replaced the BLS chief explicitly because he published jobs numbers Trump didn't like, is....
Well, it's certainly a choice.
I was thinking the same thing. What sort of an idiot will take US jobs numbers at face value right after Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics chief after he reported numbers that Trump didn't like?
Integrated thermal stores with nuclear is more difficult (limited temperatures and limited dT on storage = big storage needed with lots of heat exchange surface area), but if they can make it economical, it could be a game changer for nuclear's problematic economics. The ability of nuclear to switch from baseload (not matching the demand curve, let alone the curve of really-cheap renewables) to load-following and even peaking could make the mean sale value of its electricity much higher, and make it much more useful as a compliment to renewables.
