@Horace said in Trumpenomics: @jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics: Cliff Asness comments: I may have mentioned this but we have two economically left-wing parties now that only differ in their preferred pronouns. Yep. At least Trump will make pro capitalism noises though. Perhaps along with also more ICE raids at Walmart locations?

Yeah, I thought as much. Maybe we should make it a crime to post bullshit on social media. Disclaimer: TNCR is not social media.

@Mik said in Hard Nope: employment edition: It could only be worse in the North Sea. In the 90's I spent a week working on a rig in the north sea, doing on-site testing a fair way east of the Shetland Islands. I have no wish to repeat the experience, although it was definitely something that was good to do once.

I bet her card has been posted before. You were damn near chivalrous to post it here semi-privately.

School Desegregation has ended racism. There is no longer any need.

@jon-nyc said in The Slate truck: It still has the problem of the small intersection on the ‘wants a truck’ / ‘wants an EV’ Venn diagram. I live at that intersection. I put my deposit on one a couple of weeks ago.

The problem is no one has standing to stop the president in court except maybe Congress. (Since the constitution allows Congress to grant exceptions which the president didn’t seek). We have that problem lot, where our founders assumed each branch of government would be jealous of its power and act accordingly. They didn’t envision the rise of parties and how Congress would be incentivized to defer to a president of its own party.

Perk of the job, abuse.

It's a 10% each deal for China&USA isn't it? So your Chinese sourced stuff will all be available but now cost you all about 10% more in the shops; and your Government will make 10% of $462billion. Right?

I’ve known her for a while. We sit on an advisory committee together. She’s a total MILPH (Mother I’d Like To Plow Heroically).

@89th said in Doesn’t she have a dog to kill?: If true, a big if... that is evil. Let’s back it up here. It’s not like as if the other contestants are not granted citizenship. We also don’t know the nature of the “challenges”. It could very well be a reality show highlighting the challenges snd best ways of navigating them to achieve legal citizenship. If the show is demonstrating the proper way go through the immigration process, then it’s not evil at all. It’s a great good. But if you phrase it like the twitiot, it sounds like some absurd game show, and sure, that’s pretty low. But let’s get the details, first.

I can only guess - possibly a thermobaric rocket mortar. Nasty for sure, but effective and permissible as an anti-infantry weapon. Sucks the O2 out of the blast area. Russians have used them regularly since the 2022 invasion.
