I haven’t lived in NYC, but I have lived in Boston. Isn’t the real concern winter? Has Waymo (or any other self driving tech company) shown that it can handle the snow well: non-visible lanes, downshifting to avoid braking, etc.?

Definitely interested in how this turns out.

The problem is that in the west green energy became a religion while in China it was just a practical solution when it made sense. They didn't have a problem to build a coal based facility or a sun based facility, depends on the needs and cost. Now that green energy makes more sense, naturally they ustilise more of it. In the west though it was all about doom's day predictions, culture wars and cancelations. So it all became a religion war rather than a mere technical consideration.

The wealthy conservatives I know have (government-subsidized) solar installed on their second homes and cabins. They install it the second it makes financial sense.

AI chatbots seem to be a massive liability. If it makes one false claim about someone rich, you can be sued for $5 million. Why would any company provide such a service?

Current treasury head is Scott Bessent, previously of Soros Fund Management and Key Square Group. He's far too qualified to be part of this administration. Expect him gone soon.

I am not a lawyer but isn't this expressly forbidden by the Constitution in Article I, Section 9, Clause 5?

It's a revenue tax on items exported from Taiwan to China by a US company. I don't think it counts as a US export at that point. Ignoring that it's illegal for the president to impose taxes at all.
