Growing up in Buffalo, our next door neighbor would always put in a skating rink, wood frame, polyethylene liner. It was great, we played hockey all winter long.

Now, you'd be silly thinking you get any decent spell of cold enough weather in Buffalo for that skating rink.

Another data point, bugs that didn't use to inhabit Michigan have discovered it is now warm enough in the winter to not freeze off their little hinies, so now they are ready to go come spring for all those nice fruit trees.

The fish in the Atlantic north of the equator have decided to vote with their fins and move north. Fishermen along the East Coast complain they must now use more petrol chasing their asses north in order to catch them.

Tropical diseases have been moving north in the U.S.

Now, don't forget, global warming is a hoax perpetrated by Haitian immigrant pets trying to eat Ohioans. I hear they like to roast them with a delicate seasoning on the barbie before chowing down.

Bloomberg is reporting that Asian stocks have rebounded this morning, and that rebound seems be from shift investment portfolios somewhat (only somewhat) away from AI stocks. A similar mood seems to be apparent on Wall Street where NASDAQ futures are up 8/10 %.

It would seem this is not the AI apocalypse but rather some cold feet towards companies that have massive capital expenditures on AI. Elmo's government supported company has lost some steam also. Fascism is fascinating for its adherents.

No safeguards. As soon as the Nazis in the alleged administration can manage it, they'll force the city to turn over all the scans and have an agreement to be sent all future scans. For extra credit, they'll demand it in real time so their Geheime Staatspolizei can swoop in for another body to add to their concentration camps. There's no need to tattoo prisoners with this technology, their faces are the tattoos.

And in a few months they will breathlessly announce another effort by the alleged administration to go after the same sensors. They won't give a flying rat's ass about the Senate bill even were it to become law. Now it is just bad press the alleged administration will wait out before they try anew.

Never trust this alleged administration. They have Erdogan (of Turkey's) idea of democracy: it is a bus and when it reaches the end, they'll get off.

The only reason the wealth tax exists as a political concept is because the billionaire class has done such a good job of not paying any taxes. Fix that problem and there won't be any need for a wealth tax.

And yes we do need new taxes in sense of reforming the tax laws so there are no exemptions no matter how wealthy you are. Once we do that, then we should look to see whether new taxes are warranted. My guess is they are because the economy has changed so much since the original tax laws (of whatever era) were written.
