That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
I am in one of those states. But, since I am surprised to wake up every morning, if the guinea pig program pre-kills me, so be it. That is not what I am thinking. I am thinking about the effect of current events like decreased Medicaid including end…
@Mark This NYT article seems to answer your questions with a yes and, then again, no. It may be a product of our outdated immigration policies and procedures that don't adequately accommodate foreign investment in factories and jobs inside the US. M…
It is not the end of WWII, there are alternative markets now. America's wealth is still advantageous, but not critical, to the emerging economies worldwide.
Is it just me or do all things working class have far lower cutoffs than all things investment class? People with working class retirement income and a little deferred savings in RMD get little from the BBB. I, for one, got nothing.
When does the stock market admit that the future is not so bright for US companies? Latest jobs report not painting a good picture.
Is it just a super pump up with everyone thinking they can time the moment of the collapse? How can one time a slowl…
It seems to open up or point out an opportunity for SCOTUS. I think the expression of both the narrower and broader opinions is good in case SCOTUS agrees with the majority and, also, wants to look at the broader interpretation. Of course, they may …
And only 20 years after 32 bit computers were available. One wonders what the difference would have been if AI of today were available to adjust to capabilities. I guess, though, the AI would need to "want" to "see" improvements. I wonder what the t…
I watched the video of the entire news conference with all the speakers - governor, mayor, congress representatives, attorney general, and religious leaders. I found myself applauding at the computer screen. By the time it was over, I wanted to live…
Stopped and got a hamburger yesterday. Was it my last? :)
Who do I blame Trump or Brazil for losing my burger take out? Trump because he hates the American workers to be defied or Brazil because it won't do whatever Trump wants?
I think Johnson federalized and used the national guard on a state by state basis. I don't think there is a precedence for using the guard across state borders. The discussion below points out how a president, using his/her control over the DC law e…
At this point, it is impossible for Trump voters to deny the truth. So, maybe, the voter themselves, if they still support what is going on, are, themselves, evil.
Maybe that is the deal being struck in Alaska - whether Putin will take in native Alaskans deported from the US by ICE as undocumented. Then, maybe, T will find a reservoir for the rest of the Native-Americans. Who knows, maybe there's oil, coal, or…
It will all be OK, just need a little substitution of mowed grass for canned beans, raincoat+plastic-boots+used-bicycle for new cars and alligator dorms for apartments.
I recently tossed a old MSN dialup bill that somehow made it, all alone, without friends, across from the MD Chesapeake coast to the Pacific coast. When I saw it I took a deep breath and laughed. It was in Monday's recycle and so molecules of it mig…
“The chats shed light on an emerging phenomenon, dubbed AI psychosis or AI delusion by doctors and victims’ advocates, in which users come under the influence of delusional or false statements by chatbots that claim
to be supernatural or sentient or…
"like we live in a 3rd world country".
We're coming closer and closer each and every day. I despair of living long enough to see this repaired.
Yessir. The line forms at the right. I'm rubbing elbows with you.
Ditto. It is beginning to gripe me f…
