The stock market is not the economy, Wall Street is not Main Street. You need to look at this more macroscopically if you want to understand this. Basically: China tech sector just made a big splash, traders who witnessed this think other t

Put more simply: The stock market is not a reflection of the economy. Wall Street is not Main Street.

To be charged with a crime signals the beginning of a trial, a conviction signals the conclusion of a trial with a guilty verdict. From an archived DoJ page[1] at the year 3 (January 2024) mark, ~1200 defendants were charged and 171 w

I saw that, and that wasn't a "Nazi salute". Any and all publications and pundits/influencers declaring it as such are wholly disingenuous and should be ashamed of themselves. The sensationalizing was a textbook example

I disagree in part with Trump's idea of Palestinians moving out of Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, not the least because it's violence incarnate. It's akin to the Trail of Tears[1] which was one of the most shameful bits of our h

I at least didn't read any of the links because I couldn't care less beyond seeing what everyone was talking about in a thread about tuberculosis in the US. My point still stands that if someone doesn't want to see conversati

The thread is about a tuberculosis outbreak in the US. Subsequent comments include conversations about a US federal government department agency publishing (or not) data on that outbreak. This is all taking place on an online forum hosted i

The scary(?) part about Trump voters this time around is that the narrative up to last year forced most such voters underground. It's why election pollsters all failed across the board. Source: Me. I voted Trump and proudly so, didn&#x

>Politicians hunting for excuses to do what they already want to do though, is definitely a thing. Just to be clear: The people in charge are the CIA, not GWB. GWB was simply the right useful idiot at the right time in the right place.

My priors include all the agencies (the Intelligence Community , arguably the deep state) having ulterior political and personal motives. Does noone remember the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction hoax that the CIA cooked up for GWB? I woul

In my case there was no such identification process whatsoever. I went in, asked for a ballot, got a ballot no questions asked, filled it in, and dropped it in a box monitored by a few poll workers. I actually asked them the first time I vo

That's the theory and in most other states I would agree, but this is California. The priority is in getting votes period, not getting voters. Once a ballot gets past the initial verification stage, ballots are separated from the vot

Nope. It is literally illegal[1] to ask for identification in California. In fairness it was ambiguous[2] before, but in practice California has never asked for identification and this was made clear and official policy from the 2024 electi

The point of confusion is that Windows 10 32-bit is the last release of 32-bit Windows and which goes out of support later this year. Windows 11 only has a 64-bit version. 64-bit binaries cannot run on Windows 10 32-bit, and presumably EA i
