This will be Trump's consolation prize to the American people... It's actually Co-President Elon's idea.

It's actually neither Trump's nor Elon's "idea" - it's a ripe low-hanging fruit of the idea that's been brewing for a long time... happened in 1973-74 and almost happened in 2023 if the Congress could agree on which way to settle - kill/keep DST or Standard time. Then Rubio's bill "Sunshine Protection Act" (permanent DST) passed unanimously in Senate, but stalled in the House.

Musk/Trump LLC just want to take credit for "doing something" fast, to "get a win" early and show "resolution and a firm decision-making leadership" - because they can (they have one-party Congress "by the p***y" now) and because there are going to be pissed off people either way.

If he does this? He's earned a smidge of my gratitude.

Not really up to him - Congress has to come to a decision which way the "Days of our Lives" time dial turns... but Elon and Don will take the credit for being "decisive" and coming up with "fresh" ideas. Since Congress/House couldn't pass the "permanent DST" last time, they might just go with the "permanent Standard" this time. Throwing s**t against the wall to see what sticks is both Trump's and Musk's MO.

Germany: Drones Spotted over US Air Base in Ramstein

Some are just planes. The actual drones are security exercises, same as in the US. Not routine [yet], but technology marches on and changes things fast. HS can't acknowledge [yet], so admin has to downplay it.

Nothing to see here. Keep calm and carry on.

Wow, lots of stuff in that comment.

Yes. Jam-packed with facts.

So ... what's yer point?

It's pretty self-explanatory. I even bolded some to highlight few salient points, to make them perfectly clear.

If you still don't get any of it, I can't explain it to you... If yer point in asking is insomnia, being bored and to waste time, or show your lack of comprehending simple things (as your history with some of my posts abundantly indicated), maybe try a chatbot... or someone else will give you a hand?

UnitedHealth Is Strategically Limiting Access to Critical Treatment for Kids with Autism

It seems that the more inoculations we give them, the more health problems occur.

Oy vey, more of the thoroughly debunked RFKjr "Vaccines cause autism and..." conspiracy theories nonsense. Just like COVID vaccines "#diedsuddenly" anecdotes keep popping up.

No, the US children, on average, are much healthier today, and have lower mortality and acquired disability rates from genetic and acquired diseases than in pre-vaccines era, in large part due to post-partum and childhood vaccinations... until they get to school age and get overweight/obese.

It seems that the more single mothers we give them, the more health problems occur

Kardashians single mothers strongly disagree. Kardashians think it's not because "mothers are single," but because a large percentage of "single mothers" are relatively poor and have to juggle childcare and work, food, shelter, etc.

Marriage, as it turns out, has not been a solution to "single mothers" problem - "Risk of poverty is higher for women after divorce and separation. Studies show that women fair worse financially after divorce, and getting primary custody of the kids actually increases risk of poverty for them."

OT, but somewhat related to UnitedHealthcare: when I heard that Luigi Mangione was caught at Altoona, PA, it immediately brought to mind movie "Diamond Men" with Robert Forster.
