☆ Opinion | How Hostility to Immigrants Will Hurt America’s Tech Sector
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-21 | by ( Paul Krugman | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Will business prosper under a second Donald Trump presidency? Trump’s obsessions with tariffs and immigration go way back, and he probably won’t respond well if people ridicule him for not delivering on his signature policy ideas. If he does not moderate his policies, the damage will be considerable — bigger than even pessimists realize. Hostility to immigrants won’t just create labor shortages for many grueling manual jobs that native-born Americans are reluctant to do. As you may know, Trump has declared his intention to declare a national emergency and deploy the military to help round up huge numbers of undocumented immigrants, initially placing them in what Stephen Miller, one of his top immigration advisers, has called “vast holding facilities.”

☆ I moved from the US to Rome for a slower pace of life, but after 7 years I've realized there are some Italian ways I'll never fully adjust to

I moved to Italy in my 20s after a summer study abroad in Rome during my senior year of college. The most shocking cultural differences are the little things in daily lifeA big part of the "la dolce vita" concept is that life moves slower. Italy isn't as "online" as the US, so you're better off going to a place in person rather than trying to call or email. AdvertisementThe traditional Italian home, which is pretty tiny, isn't designed for people to spend a lot of time there. Seeing the way Italians live, though, has left me in awe of the typical American home, decorated to personal taste with private green space.

Jessica Tisch will confront a crushing list of problems as soon as she returns to the New York Police Department next week. Crime is inching down, but assaults and rapes have jumped and New Yorkers remain nervous about random attacks. Welcome back, Ms. Tisch. On Monday, Ms. Tisch, the city’s head of sanitation, will be sworn in as the 48th commissioner in the Police Department’s history and its second female leader. The question is whether Ms. Tisch — who has three degrees from Harvard, has never walked a beat and comes from a family worth $10.1 billion, according to Forbes — can bring the change many say is desperately needed.

AdvertisementOpenAI shifted away from being a nonprofit to attract more capital, says CEO Sam Altman. OpenAI needed more funding to scale its AI research efforts, he said in a recent interview. OpenAI's $6.6 billion funding round came with some strings attached: it has 2 years to become a for-profit entity. Altman said that scaling its AI models was a major factor in OpenAI's eventual move toward a profit system. Scaling AI models and providing the data centers and chips necessary to train them to be smarter than the previous interaction is highly expensive.

The best and worst developments in public health have always come from moments of crisis. But many of the elixir victims were very young children, and agency officials wasted no time spinning the incident up into a national crisis. The public grew skeptical of the effort when the vaccines were linked to an extremely rare but serious side effect. “It was supposed to be this great triumph,” says Joshua Sharfstein, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and author of “The Public Health Crisis Survival Guide.” “But it ended up seeding a generation of vaccine hesitancy instead.” The takeaway from these and similar parables is clear, Dr. Sharfstein says: Crisis can be a powerful catalyst for shaping policy and improving society. The United States is in what can only be described as an epoch of crisis.

The weather is getting chilly in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, but but cold weather doesn’t mean that you have to stop your exercise routines. According to one recent study, people who achieved this amount of exercise per week had a 31% lower risk of mortality, 27% lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, and 12% lower risk of developing cancer compared with inactive participants. Importantly, those who achieved just half this amount (75 minutes per week) also had substantial health benefits, with a 23% lower risk of early death, a 17% lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, and 7% lower risk of developing cancer. Are you someone used to cold weather exercise, or are you trying it for the first time? On very cold days, and especially if you are not used to cold weather exercise, go with someone else.

The two have now shed some light on what Trump has called the Department of Government Efficiency plans to do. They appear to be taking a page from Musk’s playbook for extreme cost-cutting. “We won’t just write reports or cut ribbons,” Musk and Ramaswamy wrote in an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal, addressing skepticism that their initiative, known as DOGE, can achieve.

Jones’ death is the latest in a spate of suspected methanol poisonings of foreigners in Vang Vieng, a popular destination for young international backpackers. The British Embassy in Laos said it was providing consular assistance to British nationals “following an incident” in the country. “In November 2024, several foreigners in Vang Vieng have been victims of suspected methanol-adulterated alcohol poisoning,” the Canadian government said.

In the months ahead, Democratic Party officials and operatives will analyze election returns and voting patterns to try to make sense of what happened on Election Day. Like Goldwater after 1964, the Democratic Party can seize defeat to establish a new order — but the era of tinkering around the edges is over. Look no further than solid blue New York: Vice President Kamala Harris had the worst statewide performance for a Democrat since 1988. The contemporary Democratic Party emerged from the “greed is good” era of the 1980s in part by co-opting pieces of the Reagan agenda. President Bill Clinton built a coalition — part working class, part Wall Street — that led Democrats back to the White House without redefining the political system.
