If you only count the progressive taxes the U.S. levies, then the U.S. system is quite progressive. But if you also count regressive taxes (payroll taxes, sales taxes, etc), it's not very progressive.

Some reasons why cooking is overwhelming for many: -To cook each cuisine requires different base set of spices, staples, etc -Popular recipes often include obscure, expensive ingredients -Purchasing exact item amts often not possible -Utilizing rest of perishable food challenging

Five months ago, I argued against the President's $4 trillion tariffs at the Supreme Court. In 237 years, the Court had never struck down a sitting President's signature initiative. Legal scholars said it was impossible. Some of my own colleagues said it was impossible. We won. 6-3. But the real story isn't what happened in that courtroom. It's what happened in the months before. And its the subject of my TED talk, coming out tomorrow. I had the best legal team in the nation, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak, the most outstanding legal strategist I know. Huge thanks, too, go to the Liberty Justice Center (and in particular its fearless and hyper-intelligent leader Sara Albrecht), who organized the client small businesses, as well as to the brave small businesses themselves. I also had four teachers preparing me. A mindset coach who'd worked with Andre Agassi. An improv coach who taught me that "Yes, and" works in Supreme Court arguments the same way it works everywhere else. A meditation coach who taught me stillness. And Harvey. Harvey predicted many of the questions the Justices asked — sometimes almost word for word. Brilliant. Tireless. Occasionally insufferable. Here's the catch: Harvey isn't a person. Harvey is a bespoke AI I built over the last year with a legal AI company, trained on every question every Justice has asked in oral argument for 25 years, and everything they've ever written. Tomorrow, TED releases my talk about what really happened — and what I learned standing at that podium. AI can predict. AI can analyze. What AI cannot do is the one thing that actually won the argument. Connect. Read the room. Hear not just a Justice's words, but her worry — and answer the worry. That is the irreducibly human skill. Find yours. Go deeper. In this age of AI, that's where your edge lives.
