The tech oligarchs have spent good money bribing Trump to let them do whatever they want, you better believe they’re expecting a bailout. It’s naive to think otherwise.

Breaking things is easy. Morality is difficult.

Or god forbid besmirch the Cheesecake Factory's decor! How day he!!!!

Hitching any of your wagons to any of Elon is just a terrible, terrible choice. Who would've guessed that the conman would live to con another day?

Could also be because Trump is an impulsive idiot who is currently flailing about, trying to do "things" to improve his chances of not getting totally wiped out in the midterms.

The dude rants and raves, retweets crazy shit, threatens people, ..., on the daily. He's a mountain of greed, BS, and hate, all wrapped in an ill-fitting human suit.

Unlimited political contributions is incompatible with democracy. The idea that more money means you get more speech is absurd.

No kidding. Musk is SIX YEARS late on delivering the previous version of the roadster, which has been superseded by today's announcement, promising its delivery in a few years, and everyone is just lappin' it up.

Have you ever been cooking, both hands dirty / busy and you just need a conversion from volumetric to weight in grams? Seems like a solid use case.

Many of us don't trust Elon, for very obvious reasons.

And they promised to only deliver those things if their party wins the house/senate(/presidency)? Were those people currently in power to the degree that they could pass those bills before the election, like the republicans currently are? If trump actually wanted to do this he'd have done it already. Did Obama/Biden previously promise multiple different "dividends" like trump has for doge and tariffs?

Find me one example of Obama or Biden promising that they'll give you free shit if you vote for their desired candidates.

The enemy of the people claims that not using his preferred naming for things makes you the enemy.

There's not a single reason to assume this administration is acting in good faith in any scenario. The correct way to look at all actions by this administration is to ask yourself, "how does this help trump?" Most of the time it is money (or staying in power => more money), as it almost certainly is here. He's looking for a payout for selectively targeting microsoft. That's it.

And when trump does something which clearly hurts himself, you have to remember that he is fantastically stupid, undisciplined, and insane.

My absolute favorite Trump imbecility, and there are so so so so so (so)^inf many Trump imbecilities. He’s almost impossibly dumb, just like his voters.

The BBB, Iran war, and tariffs, something done solely by republicans, sometimes just the president, are the source of inflation, so you can attribute this situation mostly on Trump, and fully on republicans.

You can change CC's output style (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/output-styles). You can also put style notes in your global claude.md. I've instructed claude to treat me like I have adhd, get to the point, and be succinct, ... More or less eliminates the problematic prose.

I took time to figure this out after Fable spat out "...then stays purely as cascade-debugging provenance rather than load-bearing arbitration."

Why stop there? We should have RoboCops discovering evidence, robot prosecutors presenting the case to a robot grand jury, which, after charging, is immediately adjudicated by a robot judge in front of a robot jury, with the sentence to be carried out by a robot executioner. The whole thing could be done in like a day, including appeals! THINK OF THE EFFICIENCY WE COULD ACHIEVE!!!

Obviously crime would cease to exist, producing the utopia we all knew this administration would achieve! America would be HOT! So HOT!!!

When did humanity decide to stop thinking?

When dealing with an entity that constantly abuses power, it is safe to assume as the default that they are abusing their power in every situation. The administration is evil, filled with evil people committing evil acts against humanity every single day. It is best to assume all of their acts are a form of abuse.

They are the domestic terrorists, not Don Lemon.

Not less than a year. This has been in the works for a very, very long time. They needed six seats on the Supreme Court, a decades long propaganda machine to produce a population scared, hateful, and malinformed enough to elect such an obvious empathy lacking charlatan as president, …

Fascism happens slow at first, then all at once. Sadly, that’s where we find ourselves.

So refreshing to see a president who knows what the people really want and is brave enough to venture into uncharted waters to achieve those goals. Kamala would never have had the courage to address such an important issue, as a matter of fact she wouldn't even have started a trade war with Canada to take back what is ours(!), which is what led to this heroic act to protect our land, people, national pride, and prosperity from the rabid communists which we currently allow sovereignty just a stones throw across the Lake of America (eagle cry). You and your family can feel secure at night knowing that we have a president who will fight, fight, fight for you and your loved ones. America was already the hottest country in the world, but the temp just keeps on rising! How does he do it?!

Embarrassing.

One thing I'll never understand is why we shift the clocks at 2am on Sunday vs Saturday? Why not give people twice the number of days to adjust???? Seems like that would reduce some of the harms of the shift.

Personally, I'd prefer permanent standard time.

And even fewer would vote for him today vs Nov 2024. He's at ~39% approval at this point. So, I disagree with the comment above which said that most americans voted for / support this.

That's a fantastically stupid idea which will irritate untold number of people, raising the price of flights even more, likely negatively affecting airlines bottom line. If they keep it up perhaps they can kill off a few more airlines in addition to Spirit. I sincerely hope they follow through with this absurdity and implement it prior to the world cup. The faster they make things worse, especially for absolutely no reason, the more likely they are to be pummeled in the midterms, which is a win for every sane person in this country.

They'd immediately reject/ignore any such claims.

Their ineffectiveness at reducing the debt doesn't indicate the changes they made didn't have an outsized effect on many lives. USAID for example.

This seems a rather vile line of commentary. Kinda shocked to see it here. Perhaps you’d like to say what you actually want to say? Why do you suppose this white/non-white disparity exists? Do you believe it is genetic? Cultural? Perhaps there are other factors?

Gross.

Renewables being a good thing is not an "extreme left" viewpoint, it's just reality. That being said, I'm going to guess that extreme left supports renewables near 100%.

> Elon has publicly stated that he cares a great deal about safety.

Elon lies more often than he tells the truth; why would you believe anything he says, especially if what he is saying indicates concern for anybody else's well being? He doesn't care about other people and likely is incapable of doing so.

Personally, I blame the abuser over the abused. He has created an environment of extreme anxiety for many because of his words AND actions. The man is unhinged and prone to following his various whims, telegraphed or not, so, who can blame people panicking when a chaos monkey is loose in the house?

My viewpoint is that Trump ALWAYS behaves in a fashion that he BELIEVES will benefit him the most. Often times he is wrong, but short-term financial gains, he's pretty good at, so him abusing the market with BS to make a quick giant pile of cash fits him perfectly well, which makes him semi-predictable. He knows how to manipulate others into buying/selling, so that's what happens. It's the one skill he has, bullshitting guillable / fearful people.

Nothing more than him being president when gas prices were high.
