Quote of the Day (Josh Tyrangiel, on AI and Irresponsible American Elites)

“America would be better off if its elites could act responsibly without being terrified. If CEOs remembered that citizens are a kind of shareholder, too. If economists tried to model the future before it arrives in their rearview mirror. If politicians chose their constituents' jobs over their own. None of this requires revolution. It requires everyone to do the jobs they already have, just better.”—American journalist Josh Tyrangiel, “What’s the Worst That Could Happen? AI and the Future of Work,” The Atlantic, March 2026

Quote of the Day (Max Lerner, on ‘Vested Interests’ and Their Opponents)
