So...just under .08% of Amazon employees are on SNAP, and it's an "Amazon" problem?

The other 99.02% seemed to have figured it out.

I grew up in Idaho and Oregon

When I was younger, my dad told me that if I went to Ricks College, I could knock the bottom out of anything.

Not sure how he knew that...

I just question how AI could say, kill the residents of somewhere like North Sentinel Island, or some of the remote tribes in different parts of the world. The only thing I could think of would be somehow convincing people to kill everyone.

If you have a job where you're paid in EUR, you're LUCKY.

Maybe circumstances change in the future and the value of the dollar starts to go back up, but I get paid in USD. I get paid quite a bit, but that does not mean much if the value of the dollar continues to decline.

That's great. I hope you can stay where you are.

My advice, if your aging parents beg you to come back to the US to be closer, tell them to move to Europe.

One of the things I see a lot with USans living in Europe is aging parents wanting their kids to move back to the US.

You have your own kids you need to focus on.

"Gonna make my remaining debt much cheaper, though."

Hopefully you're getting paid in EUR and not USD.

I've basically taken a 15% pay cut due to Trump, based on the decline of the dollar relative to the Euro.

What is the rationale in charging $61 for $25 worth of currency?

I'm in Norway a lot. If you take a cab, or go to a grocery store, it's probably an East African you're going to be dealing with. Norway lacks the people necessary to meet the demands of society, so they have no choice but to import them.

I'm not sure why immigrants immediately want to choose the US over other countries. Ignorance, maybe. Maybe it's the perception that you can sit in the US and collect money without doing anything. I don't know. But the Somalis driving cabs in Bodo went from a scorching desert to a rainy, wind cold city north of the Arctic Circle. Good for them.

And I don't think the Norgies, especially the old school Vikings up north, would tolerate a lack of assimilation. I've not seen it nor heard of it.

Rabies is by far the scariest disease on the planet. I thought it had been eliminated in terrestrial animals in the US.

"I will say, no-one can manipulate Trump."

Wow.

Just wow.

Yet last time I checked, Trump's approval with Republicans was 81%

I'm still waiting for someone to explain that ---- to me.

Did your mother enter the country illegally?

Don't have valid entry credentials? Leave.

If this dude wants to come back to the US, he can do the things necessary to get valid entry credentials.

"Why would someone that has an active legal immigration case want to leave before the orange shitgibbon began his jackboot deportation attacks?"

Define to me what an "active legal immigration case" is. Is anyone who comes into the US without valid entry credentials entitles to so a case, or is it more specific?

"These people are such a threat to the nation that they need to be rounded up en masse and sent to camps."

I'm not a threat to Germany, but if my residency status changes, they will make me leave the country.

MY daughter is 19.5 years old. In 1.5 years, she will no longer be allowed to reside in Germany. Do you see that as a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

"So you support mass roundups of millions of people and sending them to camps, when they aren't even charged with a crime."

So...correct me if I'm wrong, but they're free to leave the US whenever they want, no?

"He could have left voluntarily .. chose not to."

This.

If Germany someday decides they don't want me here anymore, they're just going to make sure I don't stay here. I don't think they're going to stop me from going somewhere other than the US. And they would likely only forcibly deport me if I refused to leave on my own terms.

"This place is Rcade's personally "Animal Farm". Some are more equal than others."

It is his website.

I think he's actually gotten a lot more liberal. I remember getting banned in 2016 for posting a scientific review from Princeton on climate change. At the time, that was no bueno. I don't know that RCade would care in 2026.

"1000 years from now "Gulf of America" could be the common accepted name."

Technically, "Gulf of America" makes more sense. Mexico is just one American country that borders that body of water.

"I hear Canadians are starting to call it Lake Obama to piss off Orange Adolf."

I LOVE that.

I know that our friends in the Canadian government aren't nearly as juvenile or incompetent as those in the US, but I'm sure there are many border crossings, bridges, and monuments that could be renamed in honor of the last good US president.

Germany and Japan should go ahead and claim victory in WWII.

Technically, there were no losers in WWII. All countries came out stronger than they had been.

So...from the River to the Sea?

"Israeli Zionists have not done that; because they are, at their core, an expansionist, colonialist movement- and neither have the Palestinian people (why would they? Give their land to a bunch of fascist thieves from Europe and Brooklyn?)"

Like Pakistan, Jordan, and Syria, Palestine was the creation of European powers when they elected to divest their colonial holdings. Even the term "Palestinian" didn't emerge until the very end of the 19th century.

"Unfortunately, many Jews- especially the Israeli Zionists, were quick to conflate Judaism with their ethnosupremacist, fascist Zionist ideology during and after the forced formation of the colonial state of Israel, and the blowback in the Muslim world was to be expected- as is any blowback when something illegal and illegitimate is done in one's name that affects millions."

Illegal?

Do you think the creation of Pakistan was equally illegal and Illegitimate?

"How does Rome have any relevance to Crimes in North America?"

Elitism and Slavery were staples of every civilization for thousands of years.

It's like saying that Fiji was founded on cannibalism.

"He's the President for crying out loud."

So was Biden. When he was little more than a walking corpse.

Do you like Trump, Bill? If so, could you do me a fave and explain why?

I'm trying hard to understand why 81% of Republicans still support Trump.
