But bringing back George III was a stroke of genius on their part, what with all that retro charm.

pure speculation on my part though.

i.e. when business goes slack you train workers up because you have time to train them and not have to deal with having to hire people in occupations facing shortages when things pick up again. plus, the same upskilling could facilitate job transitions if those workers end up losing their jobs.

Seeks like a retention plan. Because it says "for workers" rather than "to" it could be a combination of payments to employers to keep workers in jobs, tied in with upskilling support.

it's like some kind of test of loyalty. see who's willing to damage their own credibility by validating trump's policies as they (and he) become increasingly insane.

Arendt is somehow always relevant, but Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny is a good update.

Also finished rereading Butler's Parable of the Sower, a dystopian novel set in 2025-2027 that feels a bit too close for confort.

Seems more likely that we'd be made a territory like Puerto Rico or Guam. Limited representation in Congress, no electoral college votes.

Most Americans Feel Good About Their Job Security but Not Their Pay U.S. workers feel their jobs are secure and few are seeking a job change. But only half are highly satisfied with their job overall.

New survey of American workers by Pew. Covers a wide range of issues including skills and training. Not much on impacts of AI.
