• The Liberty Pear Highlights (Nov ‘24 - Jan ‘25)

• Tariffs Part 3: Foreign Relations, Reactions, and Retaliations

Another addition to my tariff series. Discussion of the foreign relations aspect of tariffs.

• USAID

Theres a few articles I want to highlight on the consequences of potentially removing USAID and topics related to it. All of them have unique aspects - one thing remains across all of them; USAID helps the world and its people - yes - but it also helps America, and Americans in a significant manner.

• Combating Misinformation In The Post-Truth Reality

“How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!”

• Mark Twain

Hard, yes; impossible…. no.

• The Future: Made In China, Part 2 - AI

A massive AI breakthrough came out of China that threw the stock market into a large downturn.

A Chinese AI startup, named DeepSeek - released an AI model that has comparable performance and sophistication as the state of the art American models.

Another post about some great movies I think you should watch! These are less head-heavy and have some more levity.
