    Here’s some advice boy. Don’t put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That’s why they’re called revolutions.

  11. Paul Krugman reveals a shocking economic split: AI drives wealth for the few, while most Americans face job scarcity and rising hardship. Despite low unemployment stats, labor market fragility and political uncertainty freeze hiring and investment. The K-shaped recovery deepens inequality, threatening many workers' futures.

  14. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    There is no question in my mind that it is time for the country to become fairly radical for a generation. History shows that where this occurs occasionally, nations are saved from revolution.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
    Letter (1930-05-12) to John A. Kingsbury

  15. A quotation from Cicero

    There is some hope of elections, but doubtful; some suspicion of a Dictatorship, but that too not definite; peace reigns in the Forum, but it’s the peace of a senile community rather than a contented one.
     
    [Erat non nulla spes comitiorum sed incerta, erat aliqua suspicio dictaturae, ne ea quidem certa, summum otium forense sed senescentis magis civitatis quam acquiescentis]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Epistulae ad Quintum fratrem [Letters to brother Quintus], Book 2, Letter 15, sec. 5 (2.15.5) (54 BC) [tr. Shackleton Bailey (1978), # 18, 2.14]

    The downside of #PoliticalInstability is writ large in that image.

    Maybe a Great Thousand Year America isn't something that will lead to happiness and security?
