I was excited to head into 2024. With a variety of releases scheduled for the second half of the year, 2024 was shaping up to be a great time for PC hardware. After all, AMD, Nvidia, and Intel are all rumored to be launching new products, and you know what that means: intense competition for the right to dominate the rankings of the best graphics cards and processors. We’re well into the second half of the year and the rumors are getting a lot more pessimistic than they used to be. I’m no different. With looming delays and ongoing Intel…

Maybe Michigan doesn’t want to grow its population. It’s been nearly eight months since the Michigan Growth and Coexistence Council, commissioned by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, released a comprehensive report on how to make Michigan a faster-growing, more prosperous state. But some say they are disappointed by the lack of urgency in addressing the state’s toughest economic problems.
