It’s time for the weekly wrap-up from Sam and Max, and what a week it was. DoorDash is paying couriers to train the AI that will replace them. Jerome Powell said that our economy pretty much doesn’t create jobs anymore. And oil industry insiders are predicting an “armageddon scenario” for gas prices.
Awesome!
Meanwhile, Trump has asked for $200 billion to fight a war that no one wants, and the citizens of Utah are waking up to the fact that the Department of Homeland Security is going to build a concentration camp in their backyard, whether they like it or not.
If it sounds like the sky is falling, well …
All of that aside, it is Nowruz, or Persian New Year. It’s spring. This is the season we think about what is possible, what we need to let go of, and where to place our gratitude.
We are grateful for you, our readers, our audience, and our compatriots. Power doesn’t always rely on fighting back. In fact, winning at their game is another way of losing. We will win by doing something different. What world do you want to live in? Let’s build it.
Leave your comment below. What are you grateful for this spring?
