    Politics Tariffs Catch-All

    Right. Boosted by businesses importing more than normal in effort to get ahead of the tariffs. It won’t solve anything, but you’ll lap up and parrot the propaganda pumped out by right wing media.

    Maybe if Boeing actually adhered to their quality control protocols instead of pumping out faulty products in effort to maximize profits, things would be different.

    Off-Topic Measles Cases In U.S. Hit Nearly 900, With More Than 600 Cases In Texas

    An outbreak a year ago in Chicago has nothing to do with an outbreak originating among unvaxxed folks in Texas now.

    Politics Tariffs Catch-All

    That’s the thing. This is a prime example of how we benefit from “soft power.” When we are seen as the good guys, people want to emulate us and buy our stuff. Levi’s, Nike’s, McDonald’s, Coca Cola, KFC, rock music, booze…these are all exports that people love, in large part, because they are...

    H They probably sit together in a hot tub sharing a tub of popcorn over that one.

    Do you get joy out of being an absolute asshole? Put your resume and grades up against his and let’s see who the idiot slacker is.

    Most have had terminal degrees, no? JDs in particular. I can only think of one in the last 70+ years who had only a bachelor’s…and was considered a poor student by his professors.

    Politics How will a Trump presidency affect you?

    Personally, I’ve now made it trough 3 rounds of layoffs (about 20-25% of our total staff), as well as a couple rounds of “involuntary reduced hours,” which have hit another significant proportion of the overall workforce (and about 50% of my specific departmental colleagues). It’s scary as...

    You think Bezos is squeaky clean and hasn’t committed a half-dozen crimes that Trump could order his henchmen to investigate? Further, you think Trump and his lackeys really give a shit if Bezos has, in fact, committed any crimes when they can simply fabricate tons of allegations against him...

    Every single one of these fucks knows that Trump can destroy them if he so chooses, though. Trump has made it clear that he’ll sic the DOJ, FBI, IRS, and all other agencies on anyone who dares to disobey him. Bezos and all these other corrupt asshats only care about maintaining their fortunes...

    No different than the hordes of other billionaires who genuflect before the orange Godking. We knew this once he bought WaPo and muzzled all dissent there.

    Politics Russia - Ukraine “peace negotiations”

    Trump’s “final offer” of a peace deal is exactly what one would expect—Putin gets what he wants, Ukraine gets the shaft. https://www.axios.com/2025/04/22/trump-russia-ukraine-peace-plan-crimea-donbas
