Biden, after canceling his Las Vegas remarks due to an alleged COVID diagnosis, very slowly ascends the short stairs and heads for "self-isolation" at his beach house in Delaware

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy. Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes. The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled. The conclusion is one sentence. "At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand." An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody. Here is how you get there. A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself. Because the workers who were fired were also customers. When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation. The loop has no natural exit. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements. Every single one failed in the model. The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger. No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it. Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion." Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem. Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it. Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place. Source: Falk & Tsoukalas · Wharton School + Boston University ·

AI is actually creating the blue collar jobs that socialist politicians have promised for decades

I'm sure our Founding Fathers would be very proud to know our president celebrated the 250th birthday of our nation with - (checks notes) - a cage fight on the White House's lawn. Someday people will look back and shake their heads asking "what happened to the US back then?"

I’m a straight white dude, a veteran who grew up in a military family on farms in the Midwest. Moved to Texas on a scholarship from the Army. I drive a truck, listen to country music, and love football. I dare anybody to call me UnAmerican, and I’m fully behind Talarico.

Save Our Homes. Eliminate taxes on the homesteads of Florida residents! Special session on Monday to place in on the ballot.

BREAKING: Karen Bass has a 70% chance to win the Los Angeles Mayor election — her highest point in 2026

I’m confused why this settlement fund is so controversial to Republicans. Obama directed billions in settlement $$$ to allied non-profits, and Dems have routinely forced gov’t payouts to their activists for even foot faults by gov’t actors against them. We may not like this system, but is it that controversial to direct some to our own side?
