This is what Roberts wrought. Trump is immune from criminal liability, and can preemptively pardon anyone below him. Local DAs can't charge federal actors in state court, and SCOTUS has shrouded all of them with immunity from civil liability. They can target anyone they dislike with with impunity.

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

I've done a fair bit of research & read more on how to increase retirement savings. It's made me pretty pessimistic about every strategy except mandatory, universal pensions for baseline retirement income security. Lots of people just won't choose to save but will need $ later.

I don't really begrudge people having bubble. But you should know who is (and isn't) in it with you and this is very much a bubble (for now). It's worth being honest about that so you can think about the consequences clearly rather than just rolling your eyes that somebody pointed it out.

You know I'm open to both of these arguments but, again, note that CS and computer engineering look much better by the other metrics in this very same report. Not a neat story one way or the other and it's OK to dial back predictions.
