Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

Windows/Pavan Davuluri is putting the crisis from the Macbook Neo to full use. The PC market is getting gutted due to unrelated factors (component prices) but MSFT will lose the PC market if they don't react strongly to the Neo

It's so weird though. To have been tonked by a team ranked even lower than grimsby town and not feel anything. Truly winning the premier league is a magic elixir whose taste i had completely forgotten.

Another way the current administration is trapped in the ZERO-SUM FALLACY: The H-1B visa situation.
+ You are NOT taking a job from a citizen, rather creating jobs by increasing overal economic output. Plus these people (even vegetarians) SPEND locally.
+ The US has long been benefiting from other countries' brain drain; without it its edge wd collapse. Tesla, Von Braun, von Neumann, Fermi & Einstein did NOT each take the job of a citizen.
+ It the problem is anti-Indian racism, say it, don't play games.
