Was legalizing mariuana a mistake? Yeah, I think so. What legislators thought they were legalizing is not what's out there. And the last thing we need is something else that will mess up people's brains and promote psychosis.

Gimme! Analog Devices got some CHIPS Act money, and the first thing that the employees think about is how to get some of that. The CHIPS Act money was to:
- Bolster U.S. leadership in semiconductors with manufacturing incentives, R&D and workforce development, and international information communications technology security and semiconductor supply chain activities.
- Promote U.S. innovation in wireless supply chains.
- Advance U.S. global leadership in the technologies of the future.
- Catalyze regional economic growth and development.
- Provide STEM opportunities to more of America to participate in good-paying skilled jobs.

Generative AI is really helping those who know how to use it. For those who aren't able to use it, it's been bad news. So what do you do?

Big change for Oregon and Washington real estate agents. A settlement, reached in a lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors this spring, prohibits including sale commissions on real estate listings. Who wants to be a real estate agent now?

What caused the Easter Islanders to die out? Turns out it wasn't ecocide due to irresponsible destruction of natural resources. It was European invasion. Yes, this is what happens when borders are open, and your country is invaded. It's easier to see on a smaller scale.

Texas AG Bill Paxton tells Texan schools not to comply with Title IX revisions allowing transgender youth to invade into boys and girls activities. This is a response to Biden's DOE regulations. This is the start of the resistance.
