@byHeatherLong This reflects the energy price transient - but Core CPI is inline with expectations.

@neetu_arnold Over the long term, the lack of merit-based guidelines destroys society through cumulative incompetence.

@LocasaleLab Administrative bloat seems to be the norm at all levels of education - from K-12 through university. What does it all do?

@HighlyCitedX Hobbit and modern skulls are nearly identical in frontal view - hence why some paleoanthropologists argued it was a (pathological) modern human.

@elerianm There will be winners and losers, and the potential losses will be just as unprecedented as the potential gains.

@dlacalle_IA Socialism emerges from desperation as a result of weakened economic fundamentals and a broad lack of affordability. Unfortunately it's false promises usually lead to more despair and economic destruction.

This visualization reveals something incredible: a single major earthquake can make the entire Earth ring like a bell for hours.

This is the M7.8 earthquake that struck the Philippines on June 8.

@KobeissiLetter While headlines attribute price changes to diplomatic ups and downs, they also reflect the dynamics of alternative sourcing and routing, as well as waste reduction and other consumption adjustments.

@Local_Origins1 Possibly related to ancestral Near Eastern Qafzeh-type with Late Nea hybrid - facial retraction similarity to Pestera cu Oase?

@FrankLuntz Aside from cyclical and environmental impacts, supplier concentration (now 80-85% by the Big 4) and reduced free market competition needs further consideration.

@DrJStrategy Obsolete, and ultimately self-destructive.

The increased productivity potential of AI is quite unprecedented in human history. Prior major productivity increases resulted in countless new job opportunities - consider for example the advent of the steam engine, of gas powered vehicles, of electric motors, of digital computers, etc. The fear over AI is the same fear of change that has raised its head in the past.

The beauty of open-market economics is that it is inherently adaptive. Lower supply motivates waste reduction and transition to alternative sources - in the process the economy becomes more efficient and resilient over the longer term. The assumption that the world was stable with high price stability was never realistic - as many nations are slowly coming to grips with. In fact it was a grand illusion created by imaginary globalist ideals that ignore pragmatic sociocultural, economic and military power differentials.

[DaFreg @djfreg1]

@OMApproach We don't yet understand the YD event, perhaps a combination of many overlaping causal factors - but is clear is that it was catastrophic and global did occur over some relatively short period of time. We weren't prepared then, and we aren't better prepared now.

@DrJStrategy It appears the US is in the process of opening up an alternate safe route closer to Oman that will be protected from Iranian mines, ships and missile attacks. Gulf nations joining the Abraham accord may become a factor - since the US would provide defenses.

@PeterDClack America got played, time for the second round.

[DaFreg @djfreg1]

@KobeissiLetter This is getting old, and it appears the core issues are not resolvable in the near term. Alternative oil supplies and routes will need to be developed, and nations highly dependent on Gulf imports may have to reduce their consumption until then.

Male suicide rates are nearly 4x females in the US and 3x in the UK - choosing to die early is the ultimate gender-based health determinant. These rates are increasing, as are drug overdose rates 2-3x males over females, equivalent to but not treated as suicides.

Males also account for more than ~90% of fatal work injuries - even though they are just ~50% of the workforce - and mainly because they usually perform the most dangerous jobs - often to earn more money in order to support their families.

Overall, males tend to die 4.9 years earlier than females - which is also indicative of cumulative life stressor discrepancies. That's around 6% earlier in the US - which doesn't seem like very much until you multiply it by the total US male population - 850 million years of shortened male lifespan.

The increasing lack of respect for malehood, e.g. the notion of "toxic masculinity" especially as it relates to white males, that our modern society has embraced is a contributing and growing factor to these real-life and death statistics - western society is "slowly killing" it's males through increasingly normalized misandry-like behavior as scale - these numbers don't lie. Just Ask Grok.
