ws how to use all of these tools. And I predicted he would become your next president. That was 2015. According to Super Grok, and I'd forgotten this entirely, that in that 2015 blog post I wrote, quote, "When it comes to politics, the most entertaining outcome is the most likely.

And you add Lara to it. It's just a great look for both the service as well as those individuals.

exican population in Mexico City is protesting and throwing rocks through store windows and stuff? If you haven't followed that story, what would be your first guess about why the local Mexican population is so mad? First guess would be they don't like the cartels, right? Which it's not that. It's not that. Second guess would be something about economics. Well, it is, but the specific complaint is…
