No one is celebrating.” The government shutdown will become the nation’s longest on Tuesday night when it will “eclipse the shutdown that stretched from December 2018 to January 2019.” It remains “unclear when the shutdown will end. In the meantime, the damage is piling up.”

“AI has yet to cure cancer or drive a car cross-country. But it has upended corporate strategy and spending plans, and opened the door to an age of rapid problem solving, enhanced productivity, and machine-driven creativity.” Still, it’s unclear where AI’s potential leads. “The AI hype cycle has entered a new phase, with investors looking for a payoff. As some of the early enthusiasm fades, tech stocks have entered a correction.”

“Donald Trump is Lady Gaga.” He is also Andy Warhol. “He is a performance artist. He is challenging what we think is normal—first for a presidential campaign and now for the presidency.” Trump is no mere entertainer. “Performance artists challenge, subvert and alter. They may be slightly crazy, but they’re crazy serious, though usually a little unclear about where they’re going.”
Washington Post (January 14)
“The China bubble has burst,” but the nation’s trajectory remains unclear. “The worst outcome—a doomsday scenario—would have China fostering worldwide deflation. Its growth would continue to deteriorate sharply, extending the decline in commodity prices and the weakness of global trade. Around the world, there would be more production cuts, layoffs and bankruptcies.”
