☆ The Fight Over the Debt Limit
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( German Lopez | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Since they won a majority in the midterm elections, House Republicans have promised to use a debt-limit bill as leverage to achieve their policy priorities. “We lifted the debt limit; we’ve sent it to the Senate; we’ve done our job,” McCarthy said. If the U.S. breaches the debt limit, it could be forced to default on its debts. A default could set off global economic calamity because U.S. debt, which underpins much of the financial system, would collapse in value (as I’ve explained before). The U.S. hit the debt limit in January, but the Treasury Department has used so-called extraordinary measures to keep the government from defaulting.
☆ Opinion | What Should Christians Do About Guns?
  + stars: | 2023-04-23 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
More broadly, gun-related tragedies happen every day across America, including the shooting of an unarmed African American teenager last week in Kansas City, Mo. The problem of guns in America is vast and complex. In a chilling 2022 piece, The Times named our age the “era of the gun,” with gun violence as the leading cause of death among children in the United States. Studies have shown comprehensively that more guns and easier access to guns leads, inevitably, to more gun deaths, which is why America is a global outlier when it comes to rates of gun violence. To reduce gun violence in the United States, we need legal change and we need social change.
☆ Using A.I. in Everyday Life
  + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( German Lopez | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
You can ask it silly questions, but it’s not robust enough to write high-quality work memos or school essays. Yet the people behind artificial intelligence programs believe these systems will someday become a regular part of our lives, helping us in day-to-day routines. We don’t yet know what that task or the piece of A.I. That sort of usefulness is a much lower bar for A.I. And the more people use A.I., the more data developers can collect to adapt their programs.
