Inflation is definitely going to happen due to tariffs. If I'm paying 20% more next year on average for products above what I'm currently paying that is 20% inflation for me, that is what people will see; they don't care abou

Jan 6 was far from many people's lives. It was a philisophical debate at most. When they get to the stores to buy groceries and they are 30-50% higher and their next TV, laptop the same way, they will realize that voting for an Oompa

His approval numbers will decrease 20-30% over the next few months. Only the most cultish cultists will stick with him when inflation spikes to 15%.

I find it's more about harming others than helping their own with the new administration, it's very much delighting in the pain of others rather than pursuing a better future or more sane politics.

We grow lots of corn because it is very heavily subsidized and insured by the US government. At scale you are guaranteed to make a profit, even during bad weather years.

In college I worked at a Chili's and made anywhere from $15-20 an hour in a busy location, which was decent wages for a college student at the time.

for some people it is. Maybe you'll become a believer when you realize that waiters wages are only around $2.35 an hour plus tips. Some states require that wait staff make -at least- federal minimum wage ($7.50? or so). Most do quite a

It seems like they could compare states/countries/cities while controlling for other factors (age, income level, etc) to see how well fluoridation works. I'm pretty sure you'll find that fluoridation helps lower the numb

I think it's more so that those aren't as readily available as signal to get at the exploits, and it would be on gov provided devices not on everyday phones that people install just whatever on and then decide to set up a chat gro

To be fair the Supreme Court just gave him an out to all but the most heinous crimes conducted as "official acts". He can do almost anything he wants and not worry about going to prison, and he can pardon all of his underlings.

Right, and fzf is usable across all major shells, which is a big plus. For example I use zsh at home, but at work I'm forced to use bash for everything, but it works there just the same. Plus you can bend it to other purposes than just

I don't really like nix (yeah I tried it for a couple of months), but I'd like to point out that atuin is exceptionally easy to set up even without using nix as well in case someone gets an idea that it is difficult.

This is an odd take when one considers we (the US) have a large trade deficit with the EU. I personally prefer that we have open and free trade with the EU with no protectionism at all. It's only our adversaries like China and Russia t

I think a lot of people don't consider the implications of foreign powers acting against their nation, not a corporation in that country but the actual government using it's vast resources to undermine other countries.

China doesn't consider EU it's primary advesary/competitor either though. They have a lot more incentive to use it against the USA.

The TikTok ban is about Chinese Communist Party brainwashing our teenagers, spreading propaganda, and stealing Americans' personal data. It was never about protoecting facebook or twitter.

It's amazing how one out of control wanna-be-dictator can destroy the reputation of the USA in weeks and half the country doesn't care, although I suspect will care when the long term implications inevitably happen to _them_

I think it's generally "let God sort out the poors", these types of policies tend to be a carve out for upper middle class and higher. I don't think they care about public transit or there would be a better plan than jus

Much like America is taking a hit these days, only judges seem to care or be able to do anything. I was just having a bar discussion during happy hour how America is becoming a fascist country more in line with the way Turkey and India are,
