Don't a lot of regulated industries have a test you can take like the Bar or PE so it doesn't matter where you get a degree?

It's really about the hype that is the problem and that people often mean LLMs when they say AI. LLM isn't going to drive a forklift; it needs more agency than a textbox in order to do that. But it's really going to be produc

Very efficient for distribution though which is expensive (check your utility bill). Don't need to run power lines for hundreds of miles if you have a generator on your roof.

Eh, doesn't that chart support their argument? Domestic manufacturing decreasing as tariffs decrease implies that increasing tariffs would increase domestic manufacturing. With their argument being that you needed to do it 50 years ago

I honestly don't think Musk affected 2024 to any real extent. Look at how much narrower Harris's loss was than other incumbent losses in 2024. If anything you could make the argument Musk tanked Trump's lead like Trump tanked

Eh, I'm pretty sure there's a big framing problem here. 1) We should expect that the share of income paid by the top to increase as GDP increases. As GDP / Capita increases the amount of people moving into a higher taxed brac
