  • @89th on today of all days, I would just like to say…
    89th8 89th

    Hey I'm a small slice of the pie! For the check that is in the mail..

    • 22% goes to someone else's social security
    • 14% goes to pay interest in our debt
    • 14% goes to pay health care for poor folks
    • 14% goes to pay health care for old folks
    • 13% goes to our national defense

    So that is 77% before we even get to veterans, education, social services, transportation, and justice. 🙂

    I suppose my work is part of national defense. So you are welcome for being safe. 🙂

    Yes the shoe company.

    Yes they just said they are pivoting to AI compute.

    (wut?)

    Anyway, if you had stock, it shot up 700% today. Yes the far right line is at 20 now, it's hard to even see it.

    I think he's using the word experiment as a future excuse of why it didn't work but wants credit for trying. Because... 3rd grade.

    I wonder what the "core set of staples" will include? Potatoes or pringles?

    How could this go wrong? Forcing a store to charge less (revenue) for bread and eggs while forcing them to pay the workers (expenses) more? Has anyone ever done the math about what happens when expenses are higher than revenue? It's TDR but I think Trump has really good experience on that "chapter" 😉 of the book.

  • Got > $10 million in Minnesota?
    89th8 89th

    Although I did just vote yes on a $500M referendum to build a new elementary and middle school and do a bunch of other school renovations. Selfishly, the new schools would be built much closer to me and would likely be finished right in time for our oldest to start middle school at it. I think it adds an extra $400 per year to our property tax.

    For those wanting to know, this does not impact me.

    89th8 89th

    You wonder how much this frustrates those who have dedicated their lives to middle east strategy, war games, policies, only to have Trump one day while eating a Big Mac say with a stuffed mouth "Hey, why don't we just bomb them and then send vulgar tweets with bluff threats?"

    I assume the Christians among his base won't appreciate that kind of humor?

    I have little doubt that he considers himself to be some kind of Jesus.

    I am constantly surprised at what his base tolerates. The level of corruption, swamp-ness, big government-ness, starting-warness (is that a word?), anti-Jesus, anti-Pope.... Every week there is a "scandal-of-the-decade" level event that would normally destroy a President's career, that somehow doesn't make much news. Perhaps it's just expected that folks don't take any of it seriously.

    Exactly how would the US blockade work? I mean in actual terms. Shooting torpedoes at any boat that tries to cross the red rover red rover line?

    Why not ask the person who painted it?

    But for real, I bet the AI robot was like "would you like a character that is part statue of liberty, part soldier, part eagle, and part jet?"

    That sums up the last 2 years pretty well.

    Probably Trump trying to make it look like $100B doesn’t phase him.

    What an odd situation. Hard to imagine Iran will just stop fighting. They had another country bomb the crap out of them and kill many of their leaders. But maybe they’ll just be fine with making extra money off of maritime traffic.

    Would be the first time Trump has ever lost. Aside from every business and political venture he’s been apart of.

  • Privatizing the TSA
    89th8 89th

    While it’s true that someone with a weapon could kill a bunch of people on a plane even if they can’t use it as a missile, that’s also true of every mall and restaurant in the US. We don’t put metal detectors in front of those.

    The last time I rode the train I was surprised that you could just… walk right on. Zero security, they’ll check your ticket once the train is moving. Would be so easy to cause damage.

    That is hilarious, I laughed out loud for real. I wonder if she helps tell Glover where to park the vehicle during splashdown? “Hey there’s a spot over there in the Pacific.”
