It’s all about where banks lend as bank lending creates the money supply.

1)   If they lend for productive purposes you get economic growth and no problems

2)   If they lend for consumer spending you get consumer price inflation.

3)   If they lend to purchase assets you get asset price inflation.

effort, patience, and intention — form a kind of progression for how real change or achievement tends to happen. Here’s a breakdown of how they work together:

Effort

This is the active piece — the work you put in. Effort is energy directed toward a goal, whether physical (building something, training, practicing) or mental (learning, focusing, strategizing). Without effort, nothing moves. But effort alone can be exhausting if not balanced by the other two.

Patience

Effort only pays off over time. Patience is the willingness to endure delays, setbacks, or slow progress without giving up. It keeps effort sustainable. Think of farming: you can plow and sow, but you also have to wait for the season to change and the plants to grow. Patience is the steady trust that time is part of the process.

Intention

This is the why. Intention gives direction and meaning to both effort and patience. It’s the inner compass — making sure your energy is not wasted, and your waiting is not idle. With clear intention, effort is focused rather than scattered, and patience feels purposeful rather than passive.

How They Work Together

• Effort without intention can be busywork.
• Patience without effort becomes stagnation.
• Intention without patience leads to frustration.
• All three together = progress with meaning.

The joke is an old piece of Jewish humor, and like much Jewish humor it’s both self-deprecating and layered. Here’s the breakdown:

The Story

A Jewish man is stranded alone on an island for decades. He builds all the essentials: a house, a workshop, a gym, a synagogue. But then there’s a second synagogue. When asked why, he explains: “That one I would never go into.”

The Point of the Joke

The humor rests on a few cultural themes:

1. Jews and Synagogues
2. Jewish communities throughout history have often been split into different congregations, sometimes because of differing traditions, prayer styles, levels of observance, or even simple disagreements. The joke exaggerates this tendency: even if only one Jew exists, there will still be two synagogues—one he attends and one he boycotts.
3. Self-Deprecating Humor
4. It plays on the stereotype of Jews as argumentative or prone to schisms, but it’s told from within the community, making fun of themselves in a warm way.
5. Human Nature in General
6. On a deeper level, it’s not just about Jews—it’s about how people define themselves partly by what they reject. The man builds an extra synagogue simply so he can say, “I don’t go there.” It’s a way of marking identity by drawing lines, even when no one else is around.

Why It Lasts

The joke sticks around because it’s simple, absurd, and true enough to resonate. It’s both a parody of Jewish communal life and a universal commentary on human nature—we all like to belong to one group and distinguish ourselves from another.

the Supreme Court’s interim relief docket, also known as the emergency or “shadow” docket – which, although it technically refers to all cases that are not briefed and argued on the merits, is commonly used to describe the cases in which a party comes to the court for an order on an emergency basis without full briefing and oral argument. Currently, much of the discourse surrounding the interim relief docket centers around whether the justices are disproportionately ruling in President Donald Trump’s favor and how often the court is deciding such cases without explaining its reasoning.

It is outrageous that a judge is trying to claim environmentalist allegations are more valid than the necessity of government holding criminals for deportation.

• MIT study—titled "The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025"—analyzed 300 public AI deployments, 150 executive interviews, and 350 employee responses. Findings showed only 5% of AI pilot programs achieve meaningful, revenue-generating outcomes; the rest are stalled or negligible Financial Times+1Reddit+4Investors.com+4Gizmodo+4.
• This study has rattled investors: stocks like Nvidia and Palantir slipped, and broader tech sector confidence is shaky Financial Times+7Investors.com+7thetimes.co.uk+7.
• FT columns such as “Tech stocks are sending a warning” and “Is it time to sell your AI stocks?” echo these concerns, highlighting lofty valuations and emphasizing that only companies with tangible productivity and value—like Thermo Fisher, TSMC, Fortinet, plus stable names like Apple and Microsoft—look like safer bets Financial Times+2Financial Times+2.

In short: the article warns that while AI investment is sky-high, most firms aren’t seeing meaningful returns—and that historical patterns suggest a rough period might precede any real breakthrough.
