The most interesting part is how the whole thing has been hidden in plain sight.
#ConsumerCredit reached an all time high under the #Biden/ #Harris administration in the #USA. And while they tried to mitigate that somewhat by for instance restructuring programs for #StudentLoans, the double #burden of stagnating #wages and rising #inflation has pushed many households over the edge.
Now #Trump is adding way more inflation to the mix & laying off tens of thousands of govt #workers.

A Wisconsin man faces felony charges after he was caught on camera pouring super glue into his co-worker’s can of Coca-Cola at their place of work.
Joseph R. Ross was taken into custody after the co-worker he reportedly targeted spoke with police.
Ross was charged with one felony count of “placing foreign objects in edibles..."

Accepting immigrants is one option, but I hope it doesn't end up like Japan.

Я сподіваюся, що прийняти іммігрантів є одним із варіантів і що ми не закінчимо, як Японія.

Camila Cavendish (FT) makes an interesting point on the persistant gendered division of labour:
'while there are many programmes encouraging more girls to study STEM subjects, there doesn’t seem to be much equivalent encouraging boys to take English or nursing'...
This seems like an open goal; getting more males into 'traditional' female roles would help the gender balance & might also reduce aspects of gendered discrimination via the experience of work?
a win-win policy?
Trump claims the right to ban 700k federal workers from having union representation
in democratic countries, when a head of government gets stress with workers and unions in this way, it usually results in huge demonstrations and, in the best case, the fall of the government.
Americans why do you put up with this treatment and do nothing against your fascist government?
It’s a funny time for “abundance” to be on the agenda when literally the first source of any kind of abundance - species abundance - is rapidly declining across all #species & #ecosystems.
Of course, this is not part of Klein/Thompson’s analysis.

Artificial Intelligence may not be quite as clever as it might be claimed.... John Burn-Murdoch (FT) concludes having reviewed user research on AI:
AI 'struggle[s] to keep track of multiple streams of information, respond to a dynamic environment, work with unclear or changing goals & multitask. These unstructured workflows are a far cry from coding tests & essay questions'.
'Messy work' looks safer than predictable, repetitive work to defined outcomes... you've been warned!
Robert P. Jones lives in the D.C. metropolitan area. He writes,
"In our inner circle of friends and neighbors, only two families have not had at least one spouse lose his or her job since January 20th. … They are already burning through vacation days and preparing to cash out retirement and college savings accounts to pay the mortgage and buy groceries."

Another bit people may have missed in Commerce Sec Lutnick's podcast of 20 March.
Praising the Man in the White Castle for supporting to scrap income tax on anybody making less than $ 150 K, Lutnick said this would bring down the cost of labor.
Just in case you wondered who would benefit.
