One striking stat: Thousands of new jobs are coming to AZ thanks to new semiconductor plants built thanks to Biden's $52b CHIPS Act. But only 25% of AZ voters think Biden is responsible for it... 29% credit the companies, 34% say they're "not sure"

*THIS! THIS! THIS!* the "smarter" you are about politics, the dumber you are. Political "experts" are often drawing conclusions from data sets/wonky policies that are invisible or irrelevant to the normal voter. And normal voters decide elections

To be clear: none of the early Alameda employees say they anticipated a fraud at the scale and scope of the alleged fraud at FTX. Nobody says they witnessed or warned abt specific criminal behavior. At the time, there were no customer funds to be stolen.

I would contend that the printer industry failed us as a generation. Have you encountered a printer in the last 20 years that is easy to set up and use, relatively affordable, and just consistently works without constant maintenance and fussing? I have not!
