Robert Reich reports the level of employment in the US is falling while wages are not rising. He speculates that this is due to what I call "Supposed Intelligence". He might be right about that, but let's not boost those companies by calling their product "Artificial Intelligence".

Right-wing extremists falsely proclaim supposed majority support, then campaign based on that presupposition. Switzerland's constitution keeps the extremists at bay by allowing people to vote on their proposals, and the extremists generally lose. Evidently they don't really have majority support.

Mayor Mamdani proposes to discourage antisemitism by means of increased security funding for synagogues, an increased focus on folding Jewish history into public school education, and a pledge to highlight important Jewish cultural and religious sites. It is wrong for public education to promote any religion, or religion in general. But education about religions is legitimate and admirable.

Woodrow Wilson warned in his campaign in 1912 about the domination of the US government by a few rich people, and called for stripping them of their power. At the same time, he pressured actively for racial segregation. It is impossible to simplify Wilson to pure good or pure evil: we

[2/2] fraction of the billionaires are Jewish; most are not. Focusing condemnation narrowly on the Jewish billionaires lets the (non-Jewish) majority of billionaires, such as Musk, off the hook. Ironically, today's Nazis give their political support to the right-wing governments that cooperate thoroughly with Israel's atrocities. They cite antisemitism as an excuse to persecute people who reproach those atrocities, and mostly leave the other antisemites (Nazis who support them) alone.

Violent antisemitism, threatening murder, has been percolating for years in Australia. I don't think a threat of murder in 2019 had much to do with criticism of Israel's atrocities. It was simply hatred and scapegoating. Billionaires have taken effective control of many governments and used it to impoverish most of humanity. A

Disneyland is joining the movement to get Americans accustomed to facial recognition everywhere and anywhere. If it correctly recognizes you at a ride in Disneyland, that instance won't do you any harm. But the Orwellian general practice of using facial recognition facilitates finding and repressing dissidents or anyone else selected for persecution.
