Comment on Ohio officer gives firefighter cake: 'Sorry I tased you'

One of the greatest pleasures of the Peak TV era was that an excellent series could come from almost anywhere. Lifetime could greenlight the smart, satirical thriller You (which would become a hit for Netflix after failing to attract an audience on cable). The lyrical coming-of-age saga David Makes Man could find a home on OWN.

Even before President-elect Donald Trump said he would pursue mass deportations, rattling industries that rely on immigrant workers, the U. S. had a labor problem. Baby Boomers are retiring and there just aren’t enough people to take their place. This has big implications for the country’s economy, and could potentially drive up inflation as a labor shortage allows workers to demand higher wages.

When Kari Leibowitz moved to the Arctic in 2014, she braced herself for the impact of long, dark, freezing winters. The temperature in Tromsø, Norway, plunges to subarctic levels on the coldest nights, and it snows almost daily for eight months of the year.

One of Donald Trump’s splashiest personnel choices was the selection of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead what he has termed the “Department of Government Efficiency” — which seems likely to be some sort of outside commission to reduce federal bureaucracy and regulations. Trump’s emphasis on government efficiency is ripped from the playbook of an early 20th century president — but probably not the one Trump would hope to emulate.
