If the plunge in gas prices was "unequivocally
good" for Americans' pocketbooks, then we wonder what the PhDs will
make of the fact that California gas prices just broke
above $3 for the first time since 2015 - soaring
at 28% YoY (the fastest since Q1 2011, which sparked a plunge in economic
growth).

It is pretty accepted knowledge that a number of lower-skilled jobs
will disappear in the coming 5-10 years, due to the human element being
replaced by autonomous machines. And if you
think your job requires a higher, special element of skill and mental acuity
that just cannot be automated, you are probably very mistaken. In fact, there are few (if any) jobs in which a
machine would be inferior to a person. And this is not as
far out in the future as you may think.

"...the

a preposterous story if it were not true?"

announced that the January trade deficit surged in January 2017, jumping from

increased more than exports.This was the biggest trade deficit going back to
early 2012.

"You

Posted on March 7, 2017 by WashingtonsBlog
We’ve previously documented that the government is spying on
us through our computers,
phones, cars, buses, streetlights, at airports and on the street, via mobile
scanners and drones, through our credit cards and smart meters, televisions, dolls, and in many other ways.
And that the CIA wants to
spy on you through your dishwasher and other “smart” appliances.
Indeed, spying in the U.S. is worse
than under Nazi Germany, the Stasi, J. Edgar Hoover … or Orwell’s 1984.
CIA documents leaked today by Wikileaks confirm
that the CIA is spying on us through our Windows-based
computers, phones and TVs.
