  • I get your point. I see the local news pick up cases for people who are being ripped off, and if it's a big corporation, they usually get everything they want. But I always wonder about all the other people who didn't have a newscast advocating for them. The news can't pick up all of them, especially if they've already covered that story, so those people are unlikely to get anything, they're just screwed.

  • Trump Rages At Reporter Who Refuses To Stick To ‘Positive’ Questions

  • I've thought about this a lot, and I have a theory - It's a sign of his Sociopathic/ Psychopathic personality. He's a severely broken human being, and a textbook example of a sociopath/psychopath, which includes a lack of understanding of all emotions. He doesn't understand how people feel about things, and doesn't understand the meanings of descriptive emotional words like Love or Beautiful. Because he can't feel those things, he literally doesn't understand what they mean.

    OTOH, like most psychopaths, he is aware that others think differently than him, and so he needs to fit in by pretending to understand those concepts. But since he has always been a wealthy arrogant bully, he never really had to learn that skill to survive, he'd do fine even if every one knows he's a psycho, so he's never tried that hard. He still pays it lip service though, so he sprinkles those words in occasionally, hoping he's using them properly, because he can't be bothered to really care that much.

    That's why we end up with awkward, cringy statements about him and the fat Korean fuckjob "trading beautiful love letters" and "falling in love," or the "big, beautiful bill," or this amazing sentence:

    "I don't think that a beautiful baby girl needs – that's 11 years old – needs to have 30 dolls,"

    He just referred to an 11 year old girl as beautiful and a baby, in the same sentence. Not creepy or weird at all. /s

    He thinks he is hiding among us by using those normal words, but he uses them so inappropriately that it only draws our attention to how deficient his personality is.

  • The George Floyd protests didn't fizzle out, but the Dems took power for 4 years. The protests we see now are built on the George Floyd protests, and include many of the same people.

  • This oversells it. 3.5% is the level at which experts say can cause a "Tipping Point" for a trend to take hold, such as a dad like hula-hoops or yo-yos, to revolutions.

    It's not guaranteed, though.

  • You might actually want to read the link before you open your mouth and prove yourself stupid.

    This is the book that drives Russian foreign policy, and is entirely responsible for the global rise of the far-right. Dismissing it as a "conspiracy theory" marks you as either a Russian-compromised stooge, or an idiot.

  • Between AI and Robotics, we will likely have a permanently unemployed segment of close to 50%, or even more, within the next decade.

    Not everyone will be able to be retrained to be a robotics engineer or AI programmer, and many, many jobs that are considered entry-level will disappear. Imagine a world where most fast food and retail workers are unemployed.

    When 40% of America is unemployed, the government will be faced with 2 options - Universal Basic Income, or reducing the population by 40%. Which solution will each party embrace, and how will they accomplish their objectives?

  • I'm a huge fan of Yamaha guitars. Great workmanship at a very affordable price, and if you buy used you can get them super cheap. My best guitar, an FG730S, which plays and sounds as good as any expensive gourmet brands, was only $102 at auction. I even bought another one as a backup. Used Yamaha guitars are the best deal on the market.

  • I saw the headline, and thought " Hey! I post about that book all the time," only to find that I was credited in the post for being the inspiration.

    I'd like to say that one of the things that intrigues me about this book, is the mention of "special interests" in America, which seems to indicate undercover agents already planted in America. In 2010, a Russian undercover spy ring was discovered, and sent back to Russia. They were living among us like regular Americans. The incident inspired the TV show The Americans.

    I can't help but wonder if one of the "special interests," was Trump himself, along with all of his Russian-compromised henchmen. I wonder if certain elected officials are, or were, included.

    It's simple - no Democrat should cast a single yes vote for ANY MAGA legislation, ever.

  • T-Mobile doesn't work everywhere, but nobody does. There's a town in Tennessee that I visited for work twice last year, and the moment I got to my destination, I lost coverage. If I wanted to make a call, I haf to drive a couple miles down the road.
