    Yeah but Trump isn’t worried about what the historians will think, he’s interested in receiving applause right now. That’s an even worse incentive for short term thinking.

    @Tom-K said in TDS goes international: With all due love and respect that Trudeau guy hasn't been the best. He looks cool though, I'll give him that. We do not need any “due love and respect” with regard to the Dauphin. His tenure is finished and he is personally held in contempt from sea to sea. Trudeau stands no chance in leading the Liberal Party to victory again in the upcoming federal election next year. The Trudeau Liberals will en masse go down in flames and he will resign ignominiously as leader on election night. I do agree though the Dauphin keeps himself in top physical shape. As did his father, Pierre Trudeau.

    @89th said in I promise I'm not high: Had a thought last night before going to bed after viewing a photo of a distant galaxy. How funny is it that the light from distant stars has been traveling for millions or even billions of years and relatively speaking only at the very, very, very last second did humans invent the camera or telescope to see it as it hits earth. Meh… Think of the countless wave-particles that traveled before man had the capacity capture a camera or the countless that were just missing seeing because of .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000098 of a millimeter angle.

    We seemed to have skipped GenX and went right to millennials. Though I’ll bet next cycle we’ll have a gen xer or two.

    @George-K said in DOGE: "No DST for you!": @Copper said in DOGE: "No DST for you!": Start the bus an hour later. Matt Walker would approve. If he has a daughter and doesn't name her Sky, it will be very hard for me to sleep at night get over that.

    It will be interesting to see a follow up in 5-10 years. I think that cities will rebound somewhat. There is a reason they grew so big to begin with. An excess of things available that you can't find elsewhere.

    Continuing more... One of my partners found work at a place not much farther from where he lives than the old place. He was at a "meet the new staff" dinner. The CEO of his new hospital came and introduced himself. "Hi! I'm Tom Franklin. I'm the CEO." "HI Tom. I'd Ed Johnson." "You're new?" "Yup." "Where are you from? "I'm an anesthesiologist. I came from St. Elsewhere." "Good Lord. That place is the poster child in the Chicago area for how to not deal with an anesthesia group." My former group had an exclusive contact at St. Elsewhere from 1953 to 2017. They really fucked it up.

    Short term, sure. Long term, probably not. (Guess I am just rewording what @Mik said. LOL)

    Wait, are those leaping German Shepherds around the tree? Maybe not the best decoration for this particular administration…

    @89th said in $700/month San Francisco Housing: You know, it looks fine to me. If I were young, single, and working hard.... I really DGAF where I'd sleep. I could just imagine that special Friday night… “Hey, babe… What do you say we get out of this dump and head on back to my pod?”

    There's always a shortage of prison docs. Make him work. And if he works, the law says you have to pay him. The lowest paid prisoners at Angola are the field hands and they make as low as two cents an hour. The high highest paid guys are skilled labor and they make $1.80/hr. They don't get all the money. Angola prisoners forfeit 20% of their pay for room and board, 20% to a victims compensation fund, and 30% to a savings account they can access upon release.
