This right here tells you everything you need to know. Follow the money. Which companies pay the most in lobbying/trips and Venn diagram that with those who got cut and you won't find much overlap. I'm not sure why reporters

"randomly made cuts without any thought, precision, or weighing of pros and cons". The only cons here are the ones authorizing the cutting.

With this administration is about destruction of all government spending in order to maximize tax cuts for the top 1% who pay for access to The Hill, it really is about that, and not about efficiency. Also please point me at all the "f

They shouldn't get too confident, what's happening here in the USA can happen there as well, and we get a chance to end it every 2 years, hopefully that's the case next November, remember that Congress could stop this at any

And China has no corruption or grifting in the government? I do not believe that at all. I reckon it's just as rife as any western government. What the do get right is long term planning and sticking to it, but giving it a time limit (

I don't mind the China tariffs. They have been abusing US interests for years and scoffed at promises they made when they entered into WTO and any IP is fair game for their corporate spies, and US companies would be laughed at to try a

They need to take it back, regardless. It's proven that Americans can't be expected to elect adults to the Presidency any longer, they no longer use logic or emergency situations, they use it for egotistical narcissistic feelings

So the idea is to destroy 75% of the economy that is the service/tech economy? I'm sure that will work out well for all of us. He could have had more pro business, less regulations, trade agreements, but he didn't he just set

He's not doing tariffs though. He's doing some kind whacked out plan that he can somehow correct decades of trade imbalance with "tariffs" when all he can do really is start a second Great Depression by riding the nuke a

not really, they had 4 years of trump before and they figured that was what going to happen. Instead his crazy train completely went off the rails and now he's just a bull in a china shop, showing his true level of idiocy because he su

Good point. You don't get rid of a technology that improves your results drastically until you have a replacment. His visual systems are still a failure when compared to lidar based ones. Just see how well other self driving systems ar

Trump does care about his base, if his base support starts dropping, he will look for the escape hatch. His ego and narcissism need that, bigly.

This regime is one Man, tRump, who surrounded himself by yes men. He doesn't have any sort of negative feedback cycle now to keep a cap on how much damage he can do to the economy. Either they owe him something, they are part of the MA

I think right wing tends to be much less "tolerant" of live and let live, as religions are often a huge part of their "bias" and those religions often say that others must be punished for not following God's(s'

But if you don't incorporate some moral guidelines, I think if an AI is left to strictly decide what is best to happen to humans it will logically conclude that there needs to be a lot less of us or none of us left, without some bias t

I'd be wiling to say that 95% of Americans don't care what the rest of the world thinks about their religious opinions, though? You just need to know the audience for the poll and context. Is it to be consumed by Americans or the

Wouldn't that depend on what countries data it was trained on? was it trained primarily on US data? European data? Asian data? an equal mix of them, a heavily weighted one from the US? The US skew pretty moderate on the world stage for

that doesn't work for me. I need reddit, hkrnews, lemmy, etc. I don't mind it when accounts get lost there. I don't have any ego or personal advertising in this, i just like the community. Most people don't care if you k

It's designed to destroy America's position in the world and is almost certainly a dictate from Russia. I mean they didn't even put tariffs on our most antagonistic supposed adversary, and why would they do that other than he

I don't think it's LLM, not everthing is AI, just because that's the hot topic of the day. This forumla is too simple, it's essentially 0.5 * (their_portion_of_trade_deficit / total_trade_deficit_with_country) % . I

The only thing that fixes the Budget deficit is higher taxes (likely on the upper middle class and on up, especially the wealthy and corps) and lowered spending. Nothing else will fix it. It's not because of trade deficits. Any moron c

No this is because of trump and a few people he picked to agree with him, mostly from the failed Heritage Foundation. They only got a fraction of their project 2025 goals finished by trump so now they want to punish us all with suicidal eco

They seem absurd to people using their common sense. Trump is not normal, this is his 5th grade understanding of how tariffs work. All these people saying "we should live through the pain". But why? This is inflicted not some outs
