y is different. So if you haven't heard the other side, you just don't know.

Yeah, so it seems unlikely that they just gave their money all to illegal immigrants or legal immigrants. So keep an open mind about that. But it doesn't look good. If you're asking me does it look good, I'd say no. It looks like there's some FEMA problems. But I would give them a little bit of slack until we know what's what. It's still the fog of war in that situation. But it does seem pretty bad.

US job claims have risen a little bit more than estimated, and hiring fell to 3.3% in August, matching the lowest level since 2013 unless you include COVID. So employment looks sort of just tepid. Not great, not terrible. No real story there. It's just not good.

There I just saw an estimate. There's somebody who knows a lot about AI who thinks that only 5% of jobs could ever be replaced by AI.

Paperback and Kindle are there. Oh, so somebody saying that maybe Amazon has approved it since this morning. Well that would be explained by me going public and torching them on it. I was just beginning to torch them. So I'll check on that and we'll see. But I'm getting a report in the comments that the Kindle version and the soft cover might be approved. I just don't know why.

You know, if only 5% of j
