42% of people in line to meet Disney characters are childless adults. This has been incorporated into Disney's business model. It's probably in political campaign modeling, too.

Volcanoes have crept into the humanity-contracting solutions to CO2 production. They have become a metaphor for natural CO2 dangers rather than for how unpredictable and adaptive the natural world is.

The Russians have criticized the European meeting as without any 'constructive ideas' about Ukraine. Somehow, the goal of a Peace Prize for Trump has swamped the discussion and obscured how bad and dangerous the insincere Russians are.

Shaping Cornerstones
Mamdani's goofy plan for the government to take over grocery stores was received with a bitten lip, even by his supporters. Why? No American takes governmental entrepreneurial efforts seriously. Directed commercial efforts invariably fail. It has always been one of the nation's hidden advantages over its authoritarian enemies. Often, it is the kiss of death.
More, government ownership is simply not within the American beliefs. The Constitution begins with statements of citizen rights and government limitations. The statists have always spoken a slightly different language that the Americans don't quite understand.
Against this backdrop, Trump wants the nation to buy 15% of Intel. Intel is in trouble, and the philosophy-free Trump may just want to help.
But Mamdani has good intentions, too. And undermining foundations is never innocuous.
