It is my honor and privilege to be headed to the US Senate to serve the great state of Michigan.
Michigan, we did what they said couldn’t be done. We won. Together. Now the real work begins.
RE: AI's effect on global workforce, I am noticing that the risk isn't that expertise becomes worthless. It's that the economics of earning a living from that expertise could change.
Companies will leverage independent consultants, freelancers a bit more, there will be job, but not as FTEs.

Last night I planted an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families from Gaza.
May peace be our future.
To be clear what I am describing is a society-wide capacity problem, not simply “uneducated or bad politicians make bad decisions.”
The deeper issue is that when weak education persists for decades, it eventually constrains both the govt’s capacity to govern and the public’s capacity to demand good governance or participate in reforms.
In Nigeria, you can think of it as a feedback loop
Weak education > weak institutional capacity > poor public services > weaker human development > weak accountability > continued weak education 🔁

RE🇳🇬: The educational level of the broader population affects what kind of governance can survive politically.
This doesn’t mean poorly educated people are unintelligent. Formal education and intelligence aren’t the same thing.
Rather, widespread deficiencies in literacy, numeracy, scientific understanding, civic knowledge and access to reliable information make certain collective problems substantially harder to solve.
Why is hard to solve waste management problems in Nigeria?
Why is it hard to stop police from setting up illegal checkpoints?
The reason is down to collective education.
For example, the govt is trying to introduce necessary but complicated reforms may need Nigerians to understand why benefits are delayed, why regulations are necessary, why taxes or user charges exist, why building codes matter, or why maintaining infrastructure is as important as constructing it.
When civic and educational institutions are weak, political competition can more easily revolve around immediate patronage, ethnic or religious mobilization, personalities (the Wikes and Tinubus) and visible short-term projects rather than less visible institutional reforms.
If someone has sent 1,000+ applications and gotten almost no interviews, the useful question probably isn’t “How do I get to 2,000?” It’s “Where is the funnel breaking?”
High application volume is evidence that your current strategy deserves diagnosis, not evidence that you as an applicant is inherently a bad fit.
+you’re probably applying to tons of ghost jobs already filled internally but posted for legal reasons.

“There is very little difference between one man and another; but what little there is, is very important.”
He’s not wrong. Even the current version the Grumman LLV, was designed with a planned service life of about 24 years.
Many entered service from 1987–1994, so surviving examples have been working for 30+ years, well beyond that original target.
I am a huge fan of using military grade durability designs for non-military machines.
