F in the chat for Huizenga, Steil, and Nunn. God speed.
Last week's election was truly brutal for House Financial Services Republicans.View quoted post on X

After being a full-time guard dog all weekend, Sunday night comes as a relief.
RIP Senator. I grew up with his youngest son, at whose 7th birthday (first grade if my math is right) Senator Rockefeller joined the sleepover to watch PeeWees Big Adventure in our PJs. He was ceaselessly kind and affable. Their home was always open to friends. Condolences to Justin, Sharon and the entire family.
John D. “Jay” Rockefeller IV, an heir to a vast oil fortune and a liberal Democrat who entered politics in his adopted home state of West Virginia, serving as governor and a five-term U.S. senator, died Friday. He was 89. wapo.st/4ABt3PlView quoted post on X

Quick thought on robotics policy as impacted by the midterms.
MAGA isn't dead. We just see there may be a gap in how "greatness" is defined. It's not respect on the world stage, market all time highs, or settling the score with Iran. It, at the very least, is the average stressed voter being able to afford gas and a run to the supermarket. And if the plan is reshoring manufacturing, that plan gets almost no credit because it takes decades while not being able to afford an extra value meal is an everyday thing.
Robotics gets bipartisan support as long as that type of economically distressed voter can be for it, because that type of voter is up for grabs from now on. They will vote for Trump. They will vote for someone who is borderline socialist.
So, robots/physical AI need to bring economic growth. They need to create new jobs. They need to save the common person from a seemingly inescapable economic doom. And most people probably won't believe you just telling them that. You will probably need to show it.
