How Florida’s HOAs and condo associations are making the housing crisis worse
2001 saw the introduction of the E65 7 Series, a car whose launch was met with so much hate from the brand’s fanbase, there were calls for chief designer Chris Bangle to step down immediately. But what scared people more is that the upcoming models were going to get the same styling treatment, including the 5 Series.
As you can see, the community has provided a staggering $46.9 million in revenue guarantees to airlines since 2020, to add service. While it’s normal for airports to provide economic incentives for new service, that is a massive amount of money. This money is indirectly taxpayer funded, in the sense that the JobsOhio money comes from liquor sales.

But Oppenheim wanted the perfect shot of Holmes entering the prison — so he drove the whole family there, playing Bob Marley’s “Buffalo Soldier” at Evans’s behest while the cinematographer David Bolen crouched in the trunk with his camera trained on Holmes’s face. “I remember Lance and Nathan really fighting about the approach,” Bolen says. “But Lance just pushed and pushed and pushed. No matter how awkward the ask is, Lance will make the ask.”

Gideon says that the semiconductor supply chain is the greatest collective achievement of our era, a series of interconnected technological miracles of coordination. This description of how TSMC’s Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) lithography machines work give some sense of one such miracle:
Fiat money becomes obsolete. Energy is the true currency. Governments can print money, but they can’t print energy. Capital will flow to those who best allocate energy to produce more goods and services.
Analysis by public and academic AI detection software shows that Michelin’s new Dallas reviews are not the work of its human inspectors.
This makes the frivolity of the book’s framing somewhat disconcerting. The “unreliable boyfriend” of the title is, of course, the United States of America. Canada is “the girl next door.” On page xvi of the prologue, she deploys an extended metaphor, in which post-war America was either a polygamous husband or a polyamorous boyfriend, its allies are its wives and girlfriends, and sexual intercourse is conducted in the missionary position, with Uncle Sam at the top. Then again, maybe this sort of thing goes down well in our post-literate age (each of the book’s three sections is prefaced with a paragraph-long précis of its contents.)
Recently, I had the privilege of visiting one of the largest cherry and apple packing facilities in Yakima, Washington. As you drive in, it feels like you are entering a massive storage facility. Hundreds of controlled-atmosphere rooms store fruit like apples. It is like a massive warehouse with big numbered doors.
Starlink had 2.3 million subscribers at the end of 2023. It had 4.4 million at the end of 2024. It had 8.9 million at the end of 2025. It added another 4.7 million in the first nine months of this year.
One intelligence officer in the Baltics, who works closely with the Americans to counter Russian influence, told me that, though you’d never know it from Trump’s rhetoric, the CIA’s operations are now “much more aggressive” than they were during the Biden administration.
The programme is also shielded from market forces, getting roughly €300m ($337m) a year in public subsidies. Small wonder it has been trounced by SpaceX, which last year launched Falcon 9 rockets 165 times, charging private clients $70m a pop, while Ariane charges more than $90m despite those subsidies. To fix this, the ESA is tentatively copying America’s space agency, NASA, which decades ago encouraged the growth of commercial space firms by switching from “cost-plus” contracts for developing rockets to buying fixed-price launch services, a policy that let Mr Musk’s SpaceX flourish.
It’s a hell of a thing when the S5 loses a beauty contest to the Toyota Crown.
We arrive long before the museum doors open. On a tarmac terrace, half a dozen museum guards are lined up for a morning parade. Somehow the gates swing open, we park our car, and, promising to return later, we start off on a route I’ve laid out to see several landmarks. The museum stands in a peaceful oasis of trees and pleasantly arranged buildings on the north-eastrn corner of the Central Business District. But as we leave the main gate, I see just how close it is to the new Chinese-built elevated expressway that runs on thick columns along the length of the district’s eastern edge.
