Same thing is happening in politics that we see every day in the corporate world.
Being a great technical/production employee is generally an entirely different skill set than being a good manager/leader.
Yet somehow we always end up elevating the ones that show great technical skills into management, and they fail because they aren’t built to lead, they are built to build.
Great engineers need great project management. If you’re not a good project manager you’re going to spend your time herding cats instead of getting shit done. Same thing is happening in politics.
Meanwhile, a few super-performers carry the weight of the whole team. See AOC, Sanders, Green, Warren.
Maybe it was a “Let’s Go Brandon” moment and they were chanting “January Siths?”. Current administration does come across a bit…dark-side-y, to put it lightly…and the opposition isn’t that great at branding.
Musk and Trump have sort of an emporer/Vader dynamic. Hopefully one will find their humanity and kill the other before promptly dieing themselves. A man can dream.
That’s cool, but a lot of people (myself included) aren’t able to justify a brand new laptop. I can absolutely afford a new laptop…I just have no desire to buy one when older ones work just fine and have plenty of life in them.
My current laptop is a T495 that I bought at a flea market two years ago for $100 and it still handles all of my needs completely fine. My kid is using a T470 I bought not too long before that for around the same price, and it does everything he needs too (though it could stand to handle Minecraft JE a bit better…but in fairness he installs nearly every mod he finds and I never really taught him about adjusting settings).
If you aren’t doing high-end gaming or video editing, practically any computer can handle like 95% of other daily home computer tasks.
That said, his laptop speakers are blown…so maybe it’s time I start looking for an upgrade for me. Kids are good for that type of stuff. Still remember convincing my wife we needed to get him a Switch for Christmas…his first Christmas. I wouldn’t buy myself a switch…but for my 5 month old kid? Yeah he needs Breath of the Wild.
Hold on to your butts.

This is it. GDP alone tells a very small part of the picture. It shows the health of the economy as a whole.
A much better picture would be median net worth.
Something like this…
South of the alps. Big peninsula, looks like a boot. Can’t miss it.
