It started while Biden was in office due to instability in the region of central America that functioned as a wall to the rest of North America, so there is some truth to it. Trump cutting funding was the wrong thing to do at the wrong time, but the problem was already well under way when he took office.

Elon Musk’s value jumped by 188 billion overnight with the space x ipo. But that isn’t real money. It can’t simply be redistributed, and he could lose it just as easily.

There are different failure modes, yeah. My preference would be a mechanical combination lock, or just have a key stashed.

My aunt got locked out of her house because the battery powered smart lock died in the cold. So she couldn’t get in when it was late at night and freezing cold. Had to get a locksmith out, which probably cost her a couple hundred dollars.

Maybe they should do more research into what to do about it, since they know that it’s going to be a bigger issue.

Climate change is turning into a scapegoat for everything. We’ve been talking about it for my whole life now, so how are people still using it as an excuse?

She definitely tried (successfully) to use her aura.

That’s not what I said

I’ve only seen better benefits, pay, and protections over the last 20 years. Not sure what to say.

Worker benefits are better than they were 10 years ago, and way better than 20 years ago. Wages have gone up, and keeping pace with inflation with varying degrees of success over the years. People work less than they used to is what I’m saying. I work less than my parents did and I think it’s a good thing. But the economy will slow down because of it.

You can’t compete with a nation that doesn’t feel bad about exploitation of workers. If the workers cooperate then you can get a crazy amount of productivity out of them. The united states is losing its power because we aren’t willing to work as we used to. It’s a tradeoff, but I’m fine with it except that I’m not sure I trust China/Xi Jinping as the world’s superpower. He eliminated term limits when he took power, and I’m sure has no intention of going anywhere for a long time. Everyone so busy celebrating Trump looking bad, but forgetting that it could be and will be a lot worse for the western world under a Chinese dictator.

Yes, please screw the entire world economy and use it to fund global jihad. As long as it embarrasses Donald Trump then it’s worth it.

I reserve my dislike for people who feel obligated to express their petty and useless opinions, but you do you.

That makes more sense

I was curious why they didn’t mention Israel or Lebanon and so I read the article and concluded that it’s because it’s not about Israel or Lebanon.

Blows my mind that people cheer on Iran. Is it just a simple, anti trump, anti Israel reaction?

Casinos are a parasitic and non-value added industry, exploiting lower classes and without any material gain.

I think that’s only if you are registering to vote in a different precinct, if you aren’t already on the voter rolls in that area. Basically whenever you move. I’m not sure how other countries handle it when you move.

Your country probably requires voter ID if you aren’t from the United States…

Uhh, seems like it’s way more “fashionable” for Europeans to bash the US if anything.
