Being able to predict the future seems nice. I would’ve liked to know that my S&P 500 index funds would peak in mid-February and then fall off a cliff in April.

Among all the mental calculations and decisions we make each day as complex social beings, we choose, actively or implicitly, to trust.

Oh, to be a cicada. For the last 17 years, a group of cicadas known as Brood XIV has been buried several inches underground, doing very little. This particular batch of insects has missed a global pandemic, Donald Trump winning two presidential elections, Brexit, multiple wars, and more. Now they’re about to emerge. By the billions.

President Donald Trump is again targeting a familiar foe: blue cities and states with “sanctuary” policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
