President Donald Trump's administration has been predicting its barrage of tariffs targeting China will push Apple into manufacturing the iPhone in the United States for the first time.

Financial experts are sounding the alarm over a so-called "front desk scam" in which callers try to trick hotel guests into divulging their credit card information over the phone.
Have you ever had trouble taking in information in a noisy environment?
@#16 ... People argue that auto racing is an athletic sport, even though the "athletes" are just driving around in circles for the afternoon.

@#5 ... About half of Americans are complete idiots. Guess which half. ...

Political Independents: Who They Are, What They Think (2019)

... Independents often are portrayed as political free agents with the potential to alleviate the nation's rigid partisan divisions. Yet the reality is that most independents are not all that "independent" politically. And the small share of Americans who are truly independent " less than 10% of the public has no partisan leaning " stand out for their low level of interest in politics.

(For more on partisan identification over time, see the 2018 report "Wide Gender Gap, Growing Educational Divide in Voters' Party Identification.") ...

@#25 ... that's weird. ...
What is weird for me is the apparent focus of Pres Trump and Republicans upon the prices of eggs.
Trump promised to bring down egg prices on day one. Now, he's sharing articles telling people to shut up' about it (March 2025)

There was a bird flu crisis.
Nearly 200 million hens were culled due to that crisis.
So, not only are there fewer hens laying eggs for consumers, there are also fewer hens laying eggs to grow into hens to lay eggs for consumers.
So, it is not weird to me.
Why is it weird to your current alias?
