    Hungary's ideas: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/opinion/trump-fertility-birthrate-sexism.html It included government loans of 10 million Hungarian forints (at the time almost $35,000) to women under 40 when they married, which would be forgiven if they had at least three children. Large families would receive help buying cars and houses, and women who had at least four children would be exempt from personal income taxes for life.

    More than two months into Donald Trump's term, with details of his “Liberation Day” regimen revealed this week, Forbes reached out to 50 top Wall Street leaders, including billionaire investors, major institutional asset managers and the nation's largest wealth advisors, to gauge their support for the president’s economic strategies. The 50 respondents, chosen for their outsized influence, reinforced the recent market tumult. Among these Wall Street heavyweights – more than half of whom supported Trump’s economic policies as he reentered the White House in January – 72% say the Trump team’s economic plan has been ineffective, and 66% did not support his economic policies. Among those who were Trump supporters as recently as a few weeks ago, more than one-third now no longer back his economic policies, and a majority of them—54%—say he is failing in the execution of his plan. https://archive.is/0Md8b

    I got 17 references, many obsolete, two from the two 501(C)3 organizations I started that I need to keep. I requested all the others be deleted. This is pretty cool.

    @CHAS said in The art of too much: Nothing succeeds like excess. Yeah, I took that one as far as it could go. It exceeds, but not succeeds, even if it was often fun along the way.

    The reason these people come in illegally is because the process of getting workers in has to start with the employer specifying the exact individuals they want to hire. It’s ridiculous.
