Have you heard of the "White City?" Our first stop on the World's Fair tour is 1893 in Chicago. The city is rotting and the White City is gleaming. What can we learn from this story about optimism...?

Problem #3 with space: we're getting the order very, VERY wrong. I love Star Trek. But in Star Trek, humans didn't go to space to ESCAPE the Earth. They went there AFTER fixing a bunch of big-ass global problems. We need to get this order right, too, y'all.
When a system is incomprehensible, it becomes unaccountable. When this happens, the "fog" stops being a side effect, it's started being the actual PRODUCT. And the beneficiaries are the same people who wrote the budget in the first place.

This one's about government. Yeah — I KNOW. Government right now feels completely useless. But a *functioning* government is likely the ONLY entity on earth powerful enough to help us make the kind of future we want, so please hear me out...!
Why do we create organizations, at all?? 100 years ago, an economist set out to answer this very question, and his definition has largely worked for all corporations since... ...until now. A.I. is about to unravel the reason organizations need to exist.
"These times are chaotic and unprecedented." Chaotic = yes. Unprecedented = no. History suggests humanity has stood at this intersection before, many times. 1940s = New Deal 1860s = Civil War 1770s = Revolutionary War Times like these ALWAYS feel like the first time, because for US... they are.
As far as I can tell, in the last 250 years of the U.S., NOBODY has ever commissioned a comprehensive, systematic study of what Americans actually understand about where their tax dollars go. Um, I think this is a problem.
Problem 1 with space... Well, actually, first — GREAT stuff about space. Then, Problem 1: "Genius Misallocation." And it's a frickin' disaster of opportunity cost.

Gavin Newsom: "We dominate in fusion and quantum and space. We dominate in AI. The issue of gas prices goes back to the 1960s. Ronald Reagan created the California Air Resources Board. 3 years later, a guy named Richard Nixon codified California's leadership on a waiver through the Clean Air Act."
Despite being a major Irish city, Galway has been left behind time and time again. There is so much missed potential – from housing, to transport, to infrastructure. We need a TD who will stand up and fight every day for Galway city. We need Míde in the Dáil.
Our government is continuing to invest in communities across the country, including right here in Toronto. From transit and housing to supporting the revitalization of our waterfront, this is helping make our community more vibrant and accessible for all. #cdnpoli #MPChiNguyen #SpadinaHarbourfront
