RFK,Jr's approach to medicine?

@#4 ... Progressives: "our taxes should pay for healthcare."

MAHA: "trillionaires need more money!" ...

Agreed.

But, when Pres Trump meets with the AI executives and signs an agreement with them, you might have thought that The President of the United States would actually know the name of the Country he is President of.

But, then there's this ...

@#2 ... But, over the past seven years, the toll it took on Mount Pleasant residents, the billions of dollars it sucked from state and local coffers and the virtually-barren land that's been left in its wake are a painful lesson on what can happen when public officials jump on an opportunity without really studying a company's history and listening to citizens, before committing more than $1 billion of those citizens' money on a project that didn't make a lot of sense in the first place. ...

imo, it is a painful lesson learned from believing what Pres Trump says about his deals.

@#12 ... That's established fact. ...

Got a link?

@#11

thx for the follow-up.

@#8 ... "No, the DNC didn't rig' the Democratic primary for Hillary Clinton"

we'll be fortunate enough to get someone who can ...

I object to any hint of rigging elections.

Is that what you really meant? Or did I just misread it?

@#7 ... I'll be back in a few. ...

Looking forward ...

:)

@#10 ... Lancaster County, PA, used to be Amish country. ...

As you note... related?

I do not yet know.

Was this measles outbreak a problem two years ago?

Three years ago?

If not, what might have changed in the past year or two?

PM Carney seems to be doing quite well in the Canadian polling that I've seen.

@#2

... and fwiw, the Dell PC (Intel 5 CPU, Win11 Pro, 16GB memory) that I bought a year ago for $900 is now around $1200.

If I want half the amount of memory and Win11 Home instead of Win11 Pro, then the cost goes down to $900 again.

@#5

Hey, great to see your comment(s) again.

:)

Found this ...

At this point, I am wondering Sen Fetterman's re-election chances.

Stated differently, how to the people of Pennsylvania view Sen Fetterman's representation of them?

@#8 ... "RFKJR is nothing." ...

She may think he is nothing, but my opinion is that he is quite significant in the Trump admin.

And not significant in a good way for the health of Americans.

@#3 ... "Most Americans, Blake, think it is unfair that wealthy people don't pay the same tax rate as a custodian in a school or a teacher." ...

The wealthy here in the US want the upward transfer of the Country's wealth towards them to continue.

That should be no surprise.

@#7 ... Is ol' stinkerbell complaining or bragging? ...

Good question.

Around here, it seems to be the GOP politicians who want to constantly reduce the funding for public schools and, instead, try to use public funds to finance their entry-limited private schools.

And, don't get me started on the dollars-per-student spent on public schools in wealthy towns vs the same stat in the less wealthy towns.

I mean, just go to Wilton, CT (a wealthy town here in CT) and look at their high school on US RT7. It looks more like a college campus than a high school.

... A judge in the nation's capital agreed on Thursday to permanently dismiss a criminal case charging a former Olympian with vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ...

Good.

imo, Pres Trump had nothing but his bluster to start with, in this case.

@#6 ... We are soooooo fncked. ...

Looks that way.

I mean, when you have the Sec HHS of the Country come out and say we would be freed of the "medical tyranny" of doctors and health experts, something must be gravely wrong.

... Maybe it's the establishment that's out of touch. ...

Nah.

It looks more to me like a desperate GOP that seems to be trying to put labels on Democrats, labels that they can run against, instead of the actual issues.

I mean, it is easier to just argue against "woke" (just look at he most lame Sec Hegseth) than to try to argue against what they think "woke" represents.

GOP strategy, put a label on it, then argue against that label and not the issues involved.

@#1

Well, that's not a problem for me because I don't buy memory chips.

Oh wait ...

More from the article ...

... The global memory shortage that has driven up the cost of servers, storage and PCs through 2026 will get worse in 2027 and 2028, according to memory maker Micron Technology.

"We expect memory and storage supply-demand conditions to be much tighter in calendar 2027 and 2028 than they were in 2026," CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in prepared remarks for the company's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings call.

Even with new cleanroom space planned across the industry, "We do not have line of sight to when supply and demand will return to balance," he said. Earlier industry forecasts had expected the two to return to balance in 2028.

Mehrotra added that new plants would not bring quick relief. "Production from new DRAM and NAND fabrication facilities takes time to ramp and gradually becomes more meaningful starting a few quarters after initial output," he said. ...

@#12 ... Fox is not news, it's entertainment! ...

imo, Fox News is neither, news nor entertainment.

It is food that is being fed to MAGA.

The cost of that food was, what, $700+ million dollars?

Them be some expensive groceries ...

@#2 ... he's down to the bare Base of his Cult, ...

Yup.

And that seems to be illustrated quite plainly by the areas he is visiting for rallies on his current ~let's go GOP~ tour.

He's going to deep Red states.

My guess is that the Republicans running for office in some now-Purple-leaning states have told the Pres Trump entourage to stay away from them because he, as Texas AG Paxton has said, Pres Trump is a drag on his polling.

But, that's just a guess...

imo, Florida still ~leans~ Red.

Democrats still have an uphill battle there.
