[good morning, bad news @GoodMornBadNews]

Beaverton, OR — Masked ICE agents seized 38-year-old chiropractor Mahdi Khanbabazadeh outside a preschool as he dropped off his child. The agents refused to identify themselves to witnesses, smashed his driver-side window after he begged them to wait because “there is a baby in the car,” and hauled him away in handcuffs. He is married to a U.S. citizen and was waiting for his citizenship to finalize.

@ESPNFANSUPPORT I am following you, but I don't see a DM option. I have resolved my first issue. I have a second issue: I am trying to make a roster change for Team 7 (LA Lickers) but am unable to drop Wendell Carter so that I can add Myles Turner. Error says Carter is not on LA roster.

@ESPNFANSUPPORT I've tried to send out invitation reminders to team managers in my league, but keep getting the error message shown below. Are the email reminders being sent even though I'm getting this error?

If you really want to talk about “nothing trickling down,” maybe start with the long list of things that most households didn’t even have in 1965, but now the poor carry them in their pockets.

Here’s what capitalism “failed” to trickle down:

• Air conditioning (barely 10 percent of homes had it)
• Color TVs
• Microwaves (invented but almost nobody owned one)
• Personal computers
• Smartphones
• Wi-Fi
• GPS for civilians
• Streaming services
• Cloud storage
• Home printers
• Dishwashers
• High-efficiency laundry machines
• LED lighting
• Home smoke detectors
• Seatbelts in every car
• Reliable refrigeration and freezers
• Cordless power tools
• Affordable air travel
• Medical imaging like MRIs and CT scans
• Minimally invasive surgeries
• Lasik
• Epipens
• Insulin pumps
• Consumer-level fitness trackers
• Massive food variety year-round
• High-quality athletic shoes
• Home gaming consoles
• Digital cameras
• Flat-screen TVs
• Bluetooth everything
• Ride-sharing apps
• Online maps replacing $400 car GPS units
• Electric cars
• Hybrids
• Quiet and efficient HVAC systems
• Clean tap water in most cities
• Online education libraries
• YouTube
• Wikipedia
• Khan Academy
• Free coding tools
• Free design tools
• Free open-source software
• The ability to start a business from your phone

All of these used to be unavailable, unaffordable, or literally science fiction.
Now the average person has access to more computing power than NASA used to reach the moon in a device they got free with a phone plan.

And Reich’s takeaway?
“Nothing has ever trickled down.”

It’s the kind of thing only someone who’s never created value, or lived without it could say with a straight face.

It’s astonishing that the richest country in world history could convince itself that it was plundered by immigrants and trade. https://t.co/dhqeLlkYmh

The man who made this graph (and tons of other relevant ones) is 101 and still has not received the Nobel prize in economics. Just hand it to him -- this is becoming a joke!

An @nyuniversity professor “AI-proofed his assignments, only to have the students complain that the work was too hard” and that “he was interfering with their ‘learning cycles.’” One student asked for an extension because ChatGPT was down on the due date.

Buckle up, folks.

Good news: some really bad economic ideas are off the table for a few years.
