Radio Paradise

Janet Yellen, the Secretary of Treasury and former head of the Fed, who infamously received $7 million in speaking fees during her time “away” from government, received $800,000 from Citadel (one of the hedge funds involved) for a single speaking engagement.

That’s double what Hillary got from Goldman Sachs in 2016.

Come to think of it that was me! I didn't oversleep. It was a nice Saturday morning in 1975: My mother and I went out for breakfast. At about 10 am I realized that I was supposed to be sitting for the SAT, but it didn't matter much because I wasn't planning to go to college; eventually changed my mind. In those days you could screw-up and still recover. I never did take that test. Mom was clueless as always, because she just assumes that I know what I'm doing. I repeated that mistake with my own children, and they survived, but I don't entirely recommend the approach.

spectrum is one of my faves

automation like this has some challenges

i'd probably suggest sticking a pilot in these rigs too (for now)

maybe like an airline puts a pilot in even tho a lot of flying/navigation is automated

would people/politicians be more likely to accept it? i'd say yes
