Yet I don’t see a massive surge of those good murican manufacturing jobs that the tariffs where supposed to bring. Commie Trump trying to create a welfare state?

Private bonespurs showing how tough he is a few decades late.

We’ve had a war on drugs for at least 40 years and just NOW they decide to go after the cartels.

Novel idea here, but if the buyers lives didn’t suck so bad from your other policies maybe there wouldn’t be such a demand as to give rise to while crime families?

As nice an idea as it is, coming from one who grew up in a union household, it requires a majority of people to be willing to sacrifice in order to support their peers, and I just don’t see it in the modern mentality.

You can’t force a union in a shop without majority votes, and even then you have how many states with ‘right to work’ laws that render them largely ineffectual.

Bad phrasing, vast monetary holdings does not give one any worth.

Why let little things like facts and reality get in the way of a good sound byte to an echo chamber audience.

Go for it, Dems are using one of the few effective levers they have at the moment. They want to blame us for not accepting a ‘clean’ CR that’s fine.

The last several months have been a storm of bullshit and dictatorial decisions by a loony who give no shits about anyone but himself, if finding a way to bring him to heel is possible by shutting it all down then I’ll help turn out the lights.

Well I don’t work for the gov, so I’ll blame him several times over to make up for a couple.

Irony is lovely, the admin unilaterally guts our public broadcasting support, and then gets covered by part of them crying about how the Democrats are so mean

Problem here is the tankies so derided here have feelings that don’t care about facts.

These are folks who consider China, N. Korea, and Russia to be ideal havens of the workers, regardless of any contrasting data.

Epstein’s buddy said what?

But Hunter and his foreign income…

If only all the democratic states would withhold funding for the fake and corrupt federal gubberment, that’d be a great exchange I’m sure.

That’s mostly the reason I went for them, trying as some back burner thing to get whatever appliances, lights cameras, etc all figured how I could do them fully in house. Not a huge priority, switches work just fine, but if I do set such things up the idea of it failing because of an Internet outage is a no-go

Dude on the far right (subject of the article?) just had all the look of your classic overly enthusiastic evil underling wanting to get in the bosses good grace.

On totally unrelated news, I’m finding the my new ecobee to be pretty sweet. Supposedly it can be two stepped into homeassistant via Apple’s webkit?

His most fervent supporters are those most heavily invested in the idea that they and others like them are special and only they understand the real truth…

Far too early to math all the numbers, but one note to this is that it’s entirely possible to start with a median metric and switch to mean from there, their argument being how that’s not possible right off the bat.

Start off at a median number, which statisticians love because it flattens out the effects of excessive weights on any particular segment, such as we have in the USA with a small number of obscenely rich people.

But then strip the anomaly from the dataset and recalculate the mean and get a proper average. The median may not move any meaningful amount, but without the anomaly the mean becomes more true to the sample.

You know, this calls for some snarky comment, but I’m pretty sure my Idiocracy meter blew a fuse in there…

Team Murica!, world police…
