Today in the U.S., AI is sucking resources into tech and data center construction, which is increasing costs for other industries. The impact isn’t primarily in the currency, but in rising prices, writes AEI’s @crmiller1

AEI’s @MichaelRStrain: The economy’s very strong, and it has an inflation problem. I don’t think those two characteristics are unrelated.

Between 2015 and 2024, homebuilders constructed about 750,000 starter homes, which was not enough to meet demand, but local land-use rules make it difficult to build more.

I can’t prove that this is having an effect on global fertility, childbearing, or romance patterns, but I’ll be very interested in what historians look back on this and say, says AEI’s Nicholas Eberstadt about smartphones on @themimsshow

NEW | Iran likely used its meeting with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey to pressure the trio of countries to help forge a US-Iran deal that would achieve key Iranian objectives. Iran is presumably attempting to exploit regional concerns that renewed fighting and US-Iran tensions could embroil regional countries in the future and is aiming to portray the United States as the source of the problem.

AEI’s @ToddHarrisonDC on the missing context behind China’s satellite fleet numbers: What those numbers don’t tell you is that the slope of the curve has leveled off in recent years — the number of satellites is not increasing as fast.

AEI’s @ConleyHeather1: This is also a strike against Russia and China, two countries that were strongly influencing Serbia. It’s certainly a win for the people of Serbia, but we’ll see how they govern from here. Big question marks to come.

It was not so long ago that Americans generally agreed about the pace, direction, and progression of courtship, writes @dcoxpolls
You meet someone through mutual friends, family, or at work, you spend time together, begin formally dating, and then enter into a relationship on the way to a more permanent commitment, which was most often marriage. Not too long after came kids.
The purpose of dating was to find a single person with whom to build a family. However imperfectly a couple might come together, the relational goals of marriage and family formation helped establish clear parameters. Increasingly, these goals are being called into question.
Catholics can still grow the church this way today—if they look to the First Amendment and empower the heart of Peter, rather than look to integration from within and empower the bureaucracy of Caesar, writes AEI’s William Haun in an excerpt of his new book.

AEI’s Daniel Stid joined The Giving Done Right Podcast with Phil Buchanan to discuss his argument that large-scale philanthropic investment in national policy advocacy has, over time, deepened American polarization rather than healed it.
