Nuclear bombs, 9/11 and the greatest financial crisis of modern times…the media is comparing AI to all three! And so we’re back in the world of scary AI. I know, I said I wasn’t going to write about this anymore – and, I know, I have a series on water bankruptcy to continue – but they just won’t let it go, so neither can I. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. In my last piece on this topic I described the rogue AI thus… “Rogue AIs” have become the lab leak theory of the tech sector,…

It is a tight race in Ohio’s gubernatorial battle between Republican businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and Democrat Amy Acton, a recent Bowling Green State University (BGSU) survey found. The survey analyzed the state of the races in Ohio, and across the board it is neck and neck. It asked respondents if they plan to support the Democratic candidate or the Republican candidate on the ballot in their individual district, and Democrats held the edge by just one point — 48 percent to the GOP’s 47 percent. More specifically, the survey asked respondents whom they plan to support in Ohio’s 2026 governor’s race, and…

Democrat candidate Rebecca Bennett, running for the U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s 7th District, backs a bill that a study says would crush 60,000 jobs in her state alone and 5 million nationwide. The Democrat said she would support a minimum wage of $25 per hour. New Jersey Democrat Rep. Analilia Mejia (D-NJ) helped lead the Living Wage For All Act, which would ensure a minimum wage increase to $25 per hour over the next “several” years, moving from $7.25 to $12.00 in the first year. Further, the “subminimum” wages for tipped workers would also end in a phased manner.…

The establishment’s defeats in eastern regional elections mark more than a party crisis Occasionally, history does dish out poetic justice. It can also be exceedingly funny, if in a merciless way. Germany’s well-known tragedy – or let’s say, one of them – is that it suffers from a chronic deficiency of irony, so many Germans will fail to see the funny side of what has just happened. And yet, there is something very deserved as well as ironic about the recent catastrophe of the country’s establishment parties in three turning-point regional elections – in Saxony-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Berlin.The stunning successes…
