After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
Cable news is arguing eggs, beef, gas, and Iran. Bruce Director spent Saturday night on the real midterm question: American System vs. British System — two flavors of the same entropy, and nine weeks to pick a future.
Chatbots dominate the AI argument. Brian Lantz spent Saturday night on the other kind — robots, machine shops, and factory floors — and why manufacturing, not the data center, is where the country actually gets richer.
