The dependency ratio is a demographic measure that compares the number of people typically not in the workforce (dependents) with the number of people who are typically of working age (the productive population).
It is an indicator of the potential economic burden on the working population and helps in planning for social services like healthcare and education.
Demographers in Ottawa freaked out when Canada's fertility rate hit an historical low on par with Italy and Japan, two societies statistically on a path to extinction. The hyper immigration between 2022 to 2024 was a policy choice.

The Trump administration claims there was no need for Congress to authorize the military attack in Venezuela because the military was merely supporting a “law enforcement operation” (i.e., executing arrest warrants against the Maduros). That’s wrong on multiple counts. 1/20
Under our Constitution, decisions about when, where, and against whom to deploy military force are made by Congress, not the president. This system ensures that the solemn decision to risk U.S. blood and treasure is made with democratic debate and public accountability. 2/20
When U.S. military aircraft drop bombs on another country, killing 80 people in the process, that’s a use of military force, regardless of the intent. Even Hegseth described it as a “joint military and law enforcement raid” rather than a pure law enforcement action. 3/20
Does Nancy Pelosi know where that 2.1 BILLION dollars from January 6th went?
Jan 6th Capitol Event:
2.1 Billion dollar Bill to fund the Capitol Police to cover the cost of "damage" done on Jan6.
United States Capitol Police
Chain of command -
Speaker of the House Pelosi
Senate Majority Leader Schumer
The Capitol Police is part of Legislative Branch = NOT subject to the Freedom of Information Act -> ZERO TRANSPARENCY!
Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff and Chuck Schumer led the Jan6 committee / narrative against President Trump.
The Capitol Police was "A Sister Agency of the CIA set up by Nancy Pelosi -> Unlimited powers?"
Exempt from FIOA:
They siphoned extremely sophisticated spy equipment from the DOD.
Capitol Police HQ's were being set up around the country.
Was this their Brown Shirt police force?
They KNEW President Trump was going to take control of and splinter the CIA into 1000 pieces & scattered its ashes into the wind, so did Nancy Pelosi & Adam Schiff try to create a NEW one, with all that STOLEN money, spy equipment, & ZERO Transparency with Field offices being established around the country?
That'd be their own personal 3 letter agency exempt from FOIA, operating in the shadows of the agencies President Trump could SEE and be in control of.
That's literally a Black Budget Shadow Organization Spy Agency targeting Patriots with a massively bloated secret budget.
How would they funnel money into said secret spy agency?
Tell is its funding for the Capitol Police? Steal more of our taxpayer money & tell us it's funding for Ukraine?
💰WHERE'S THE 2.1 BILLION💰

"Follow The Money"
Since the Capitol Police answered directly to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer up the chain of command and they're exempt from FOIA, who controlled the funds of that 2.1 Billion dollars?
It took Donald Trump a lifetime to become a billionaire. Nancy Pelosi got to be one overnight at the stroke of a pen, due to Jan 6th Capitol riot? 🤷🏻♂️
It's right there in the spending bill:
"This legislation provides funding for the Capitol Police, the National Guard & other agencies to cover the costs incited during the Jan 6th Capitol riot."
Exempt from FOIA.
Which means we can never ask where that money is being funneled to. It's just... gone.
They robbed us and President Trump was the scape-goat to blame the entire event on.
The Capitol Police testimony was earlier the exact same day as the bill.

Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger who was in charge of securing the Capitol on January 6 MYSTERIOUSLY died suddenly — just ONE day before the J6 Capitol Riot Committee was set to call SURPRISE hearing to present "newly uncovered evidence" where he would have been under oath to testify on the orders he was given that day AND FROM WHOM those orders came from.
Who did Michael take orders from DIRECTLY?
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
Does anyone else find this STRANGE?!
Why did the Sergeant at Arms, who's boss was Nancy Pelosi, mysteriously die the night before a SURPRISE HEARING was set to be held where he was set to testify?!
What happened to him?

@gmail I'm not circling back. You know why, @Google and @Gmail? Because you decided that the fact that I didn't own a cell phone was grounds for locking me out of my own Gmail account for the rest of my life.

My New article: “Title VI Hostile Environment Law in the Shadow of Antisemitic Violence”
Journal of Free Speech Law, Forthcoming

Journal of Free Speech Law, Forthcoming
abstract and link next
Abstract: Following Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, American universities have faced a wave of Title VI complaints alleging deliberate indifference to antisemitic harassment of Jewish students. Many of these claims arise in the context of anti-Israel campus protests featuring rhetoric that, while deeply offensive and often perceived as endorsing violence, is ordinarily protected by the First Amendment. Courts and commentators have increasingly concluded that such protected speech cannot form any part of a cognizable hostile-environment claim. This Article argues that this conclusion rests on a fundamental misstatement of both Title VI doctrine and the nature of the claims being advanced.
The Article contends that Jewish students’ post–October 7 claims do not seek to impose liability for protected political expression. Rather, they allege that universities have failed to address unprotected antisemitic conduct—including physical assaults, threats, intimidation, vandalism, unlawful encampments, and selective nonenforcement of neutral conduct rules—that materially interferes with access to education. Within this framework, protected speech plays a limited but legitimate role: not as actionable harassment, but as contextual evidence bearing on whether a university’s inaction in the face of unprotected conduct reasonably gives rise to fear of violence and intimidation.
Drawing on extensive documentation of antisemitic assaults and threats on campuses and in the surrounding society, the Article argues that the “reasonable person” standard governing hostile-environment claims must be applied in light of contemporary conditions. When violent rhetoric coincides with lawless behavior and administrative indifference, Jewish students’ fear for their physical safety cannot be dismissed as hypersensitivity to ideas. Properly understood, Title VI permits—indeed, requires—universities to enforce neutral conduct rules to mitigate hostile environments without suppressing protected speech. Courts therefore err when they dismiss such claims at the pleading stage by conflating demands for physical security with demands for ideological conformity.

2026 is the year Linux finally catches up to...UNIX.
No, seriously. Tiered memory architectures were solved in UNIX decades ago.
The era of pretending "all RAM is equal" is becoming unaffordable.
Thankfully, software is getting pretty clever:

Transparent Page Placement (TPP) is the modern linux equivalent of a very old idea.
Remember earlier in my series where we talked about CXL, and the latency penalty?
Turns out, having the Kernel place rarely accessed pages in the slower bucket (CXL) works pretty well.

The whole point of course is to get the best bang for the buck.
Not all memory needs to be fast.
If the OS handles it, and it's otherwise transparent to the user...why not? Especially with the current shortages.
