Dollar General isn't going to like this.

Iran having nuclear weapons is only of consequence if they chose to use them. Whether we like it or not, they have just as much right to such weapons as anyone else. Especially as much right as Israel.

As I know someone will come along and say "But they're terrorists!"... So is the US government. We simply spend FAR more money on it.

Why isn't the great deal maker over there doing it himself?

While Vance was visiting Hungary, I wonder if he used Orban's couch?

Gamers... Well, they would be employees unbothered by the carnage playing out their screens.

$155,000avg after 3yrs isn't enough?

So, you want to pay the people who are controlling the traffic around your flights to be paid as little as their employers can get away with... Got it.

I suspect that if Americans saw significant benefit from their taxes, instead of persistent and prevalent cronyism, perhaps sentiment about taxes could be different. But alas, the US is rife with corruption, which is only being compounded by the current regime. And nobody seems to know how to fix it.

If only there were other, better examples in the world to follow... But the selfish and unethical nature of much of the US populace stubbornly isn't going to let it happen.

Who TF would want bring kids into the world the way it is now?

But JPW always on point to lay all blame at the foot of the Joos.

There is mostly just one Jew to blame. And he's a war criminal.

And, the deal is off.

If you taxed billionaires at a 100% it still wouldn't eliminate our deficit

Mmkay... So which parts of discretionary spending shall we cut to eliminate the deficits? I'd bet you can't come up with enough to eliminate deficits without also raising taxes, especially on the wealthy. It takes both spending cuts AND tax increases.

Or is he deliberately giving them repeated chances to back down before things escalate further?

Is that Trump apologist speak for... 'Or is he threatening war crimes out of desperation'?

One thing Iran should be grateful to the US for... The US basically gave them Iraq.

Around social media, Trumpers are attempting to make the argument that he can unilaterally get away with changes to election laws for "Federal elections". I think an argument can be made that there is no such thing as a Federal election. Senators and Representatives of each State are chosen by the citizens of those respective States. For example, an eligible voter in Texas cannot vote on a US Senate race in Wyoming, therefor making it a State election to chose a Federal representative. In fact, unless we eliminate the Electoral Collage, even the POTUS is not determined by a Federal election. It is decided by series of state elections which determine how Electoral votes will be allocated. Constitutionally the POTUS does not have the powers to regulate ANY elections. (No Kings?) I hope the SCOTUS recognizes this. But with this court it's anyone's guess.

Pump and Dump of the month?

Is there a better way for Putin to convey orders to his little puppet than to have them walked in and delivered personally?

There is absolutely zero thought or strategy behind the actions that are costing us billions of dollars a day.

There is if you think of Trump as an enemy of the United States.

Trump isn't going to cross his master, Putin.

I think that's peanuts compared to the total that the Trump Crime Syndicate has grifted from our nation and the world.

It looks like I'm going to be spending some time using MY Sharpie to write 'Felon'.

You'd think a guy worth about $1.5 billion could afford to summon an Uber.

Garlands delays in prosecuting Trump over a number of issues are inexcusable.

Soon enough, the dollar will be a worthless as Trump. So there's that...

I thought it would be interesting to ask Google "what percentage of the workforce will be replaced by ai". Its response:

AI Overview
Estimates on AI-driven workforce replacement vary, with recent studies suggesting that roughly 11.7% of the U.S. workforce could already be replaced by AI based on current technical capabilities, a figure that is expected to rise to 25-30% of jobs globally by 2030. While long-term projections suggest that up to 50% to 60% of jobs could be automated by 2040"2050, most experts emphasize that AI will transform work tasks rather than cause mass, immediate unemployment.

Current AI Workforce Impact (2025"2026)
Replacement Already Possible: A late 2025 MIT study found that 11.7% of the U.S. labor market could already be replaced by AI.
Immediate Job Loss: AI was linked to roughly 3,900 job losses in May 2023, and about 13.7% of U.S. workers report having already lost their job to AI-driven automation.
White-Collar Vulnerability: While earlier automation targeted blue-collar roles, generative AI significantly impacts white-collar work, with 49% of companies using ChatGPT reporting it has already replaced workers.

Projected Impact by 2030"2035
6% to 30% Displacement: Forecasts for 2030 range from 6% of U.S. jobs being lost (Forrester) to 25"30% of jobs globally being automated.
Task-Level Changes: Rather than complete replacement, 60% of U.S. jobs are expected to see significant task-level changes due to AI integration by 2030.
Industry Impact: Jobs in administration, customer service, and data entry are at the highest risk, with some estimates suggesting up to 26% of admin roles and 20% of customer service roles could be eliminated.

Key Factors and Trends
Net Job Creation: While AI will displace 85"90 million jobs globally by 2025"2030, it is projected to create nearly 97"133 million new roles, potentially resulting in a net gain of jobs, albeit requiring significant worker reskilling.
"New-Collar" Era: AI is driving demand for new roles, such as AI Engineers and Data Annotators, creating over 1.3 million new roles in recent years.
Gender and Age Disparity: Women face a higher risk of automation, with 79% of employed women in the U.S. working in high-risk jobs compared to 58% of men. Younger workers, especially those under 25, are seeing a decline in job opportunities in AI-exposed sectors.

Jobs at Risk vs. Jobs Safe
High Risk: Data entry, telemarketers, routine customer service, and administrative support.
Lower Risk: Jobs requiring high-level human interaction, empathy, and manual dexterity, such as healthcare (nurses), skilled trades (construction, repair), and education.
