Guaranteed income program made Texas mom realize low-income, marginalized groups were underserved for so long
While guaranteed income advocates push to extend pilot programs to permanent government-sponsored cash assistance, one recipient spoke with Fox News Digital about the benefits of the policy.
Austin, Texas native Taniquewa Brewster was financially supported by the city’s guaranteed income program during a critical transition period in her life as she juggled parenthood, long work hours and hoped to finish certification programs.
"It helped me start out — it gave me time to take care of things that I needed to take care of. It's hard when you're working 40 hours a week, and you have five children," Brewster told Fox News Digital. "I have five kids, and I am trying to make time to do other things, fighting for these basic human rights. I didn't have a car at the time. I was using my sister's car. She was making sure that I got from point A to point B, doctor's appointments, helping, looking out, taking care of my children."

AI data center infrastructure
The single largest category of new U.S. investment is AI data center infrastructure, which has already reached a scale that dwarfs anything in recent industrial history. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta collectively poured an estimated $320 billion into AI infrastructure in 2025 alone —more than Finland’s entire gross domestic product— with CreditSights projecting combined capital expenditure nearly doubling to $602 billion in 2026.

The Proper Size of the Polis by Aristotle
https://centerforneweconomics.org/publications/aristotle/
But as regards good friends, should we have as many as possible, or is there a limit to the number of one's friends, as there is to the size of a city? You cannot make a city of ten men, and if there are a hundred thousand it is a city no longer. But the proper number is presumably not a single number, but anything that falls between certain fixed points.

inflation
Most economists agree that the real rate of inflation over the last 10 years is at least 40%. As eye-watering as that number is, it’s not even close to explaining the recent explosion in gold and silver.

FITZSIMMONS v. N.Y.S. ATHLETIC COMM Supreme Court of New York (1914)
“The word “liberty” as used in the state and federal Constitutions means, in a negative sense, freedom from restraint, but in a positive sense, it involves the idea of freedom secured by the imposition of restraint, and it is in this positive sense that the state. in the exercise of its police powers, promotes the freedom of all by the imposition upon particular persons of restraints which are deemed necessary for the general welfare” (Fitzsimmons v. New York State Athletic Commission, Supreme Court of New York, 1914).
