Some examples of greater productivity in the U.S.
Which U.S. counties have recently experienced growth gains?
The most stringent regulations affect the public sector the most. Supply-side progressivism inadvertently turned into demand-side stimulus - stimulus that wasn't even needed in this scenario.
Did Simon get lucky in his bet with Ehrlich?/
How formal and informal volunteering compares in different states. When I wrote extensively about time arbitrage, I envisioned the most important formal aspect as specific time commitments within given time frames, for smooth community interaction. Whereas informal aspects include one's choices for utilizing time with others. Informal choices are important for preserving personal autonomy, one's own interpretations regarding efficiencies, and decision making on one's own terms.
For instance: It's one thing to reduce inefficiencies, but don't do so to the point of lost resilience.

What constitutes a flow state and how is it achievable? These considerations are important for time arbitrage, in part because so many have daily responsibilities that get in the way of flow states which would otherwise be possible.
AI has become more useful by scaling up. My thoughts: Hopefully this will encourage additional security layers for knowledge preservation as well. Such layers aren't always possible when they include extensive monetary compensation for time based procedures.
A visual comparison of G7 economies versus BRICS economies.
Yet another reason time arbitrage systems are especially needed now.
