With such a sharp divide, sometimes I wish we could separate north and south states. They can have their own country with no government “handouts” and we can have ours

Some people are unable to see the programs beyond “paying for it”, and so they think it’s like an exclusive club where you shouldn’t get access if you have no money. It’s only logical until you ask why we even have a government in the first place and see that the most ruthless governments are also the most exclusive ones

The amount of people who didn’t understand Colbert was performing satire was terrifying

Look up 2006 white house correspondents dinner on YouTube

Remember when they had Stephen Colbert roast GW during the dinner? That was peak comedy. These guys are such losers they know Trump won’t be able to handle being roasted, and somehow that’s OK for a world leader.

I mean we (anyone who has observed reality or knows history) already knew that. The poster above probably thought “tariffs = foreigner disadvantage”. There’s not really such a thing as a US-only car company so there is no advantage whatsoever to be gained- it’s inevitable that these US car companies have global supply chains to take advantage of specialization, not to mention labor and parts only made overseas. Even if you could bring everything inhouse, everything would more expensive. There is no “more cars for less money” because not only do we not have all the parts manufactured in the US (meaning we’re forced to import), but labor is more expensive. It’s all a waste of time and resources

They call it a dream because you have to be asleep to experience it

Prices increase in response to increase in costs- this is so basic it’s covered in introductory econ courses and applies to all businesses. Adding costs to production has to be reflected in the final price. Tariffs pretty much never help consumers- they prop up inefficient industries that can’t compete with global trade. In general, global trade with low tariffs is better because of specialization

Is there a paywall-free version of this article?

So people who were in here legally during the last administration will be considered here illegally because “I didn’t like what the previous guy did”. Why would anyone think any legal document coming from the US is legitimate if they can do this? Our futures are being sabotaged.

More like charging availability imo. Not everyone has a garage to conveniently charge in after a day’s work. If you make charging speeds fast enough like with gas, you can negate that though.

I truly hate this age of video where everything is either in incredibly long form with unnecessary cruft that can be pared down to a page or so of real information, or the video is so pointlessly short it’s devoid of real value and context. Sadly people just don’t want to read anymore

From experience, these morons will find a way to blame it on Biden. I have zero hope for Trump voters getting out of their delusions because they are in a social media induced feedback loop. There is going to be so much pain in the next 4 years

It’s clear he didn’t read the article, but it’s necessary to point out she doesn’t even 500k- it is assets, which means she’s as far down the hole as the rest of us.

Kinda difficult to have an AI with those restrictions because anything is politicized depending on your pov- just getting information and using science is considered politics in 2025. That said, AIs need to do a better job sourcing their info of people are using them to search so it’s at least traceable. Chances are most of this info is just from Wikipedia but they should do track it better

Thing is they’ll then just miss those games or be accused of abusing its market position to be anticompetitive, but I think in general these publishers are getting that we don’t want stupid launchers/extra logins. It happened with 2k and it’s good it’s happening with Sony. Honestly I check before I buy any game if the store mentions a third party account now because that’s so annoying. Especially origin- they are awful and their business is awful.

It’s mind boggling anyone would even try to dismantle the FAA- they’re one of the most boring organizations out there and their #1 concern is safety. There’s even tons of money to be made while worrying about safety, so it is so odd to do this. Trying to reduce air traffic controllers is an insane idea in general- without them everyone’s flying blind. It’s gonna take decades to figure out all the damage this moron has done just like with Reagan

I got a good chuckle out of the doubling down “learn when you’re older” until I realized you had to see them 5 times a week. Sorry, that sucks and it is sad how little Americans know of their own country. Like when people talk of immigration as if you can just fill out a form and be American tomorrow- they don’t even know most countries need a visa just for vacation into the US. And man I hate taxes so much- it grinds my gears that we’ve got these tax corporations bending us over when they have all the info to not require filling out tax forms for the majority of people.

I’m shocked no one remembers how Puerto Rico still suffers from the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria, which was handled by Trump’s administration. How a person could assume Trump cares about Puerto Rico after mishandling that disaster so horribly is beyond me. Years after the disaster, it was revealed they purposely blocked aid to let them suffer
