I remember when cars were made from STEEL, had STEEL chrome bumpers. If you bumped into someone, you might
scratch the chrome. Now, bump into someone and it is a multi-thousand dollar repair! Plus, with all the electronic sensors
and what not, makes it even more expensive.
Rivian R1T Fender Bender Turns Into $42,000 Repair Bill
Here’s Why That Rivian R1T Repair Cost $42,000 After Just A Minor Fender-Bender
Trump is transactional. All he cares about is money and ego.
* glances over at the combined fiscal and narcissistic worth of the Pelosis, Clintons, and OBidens *
Maybe if it were only slightly less blatantly fucking obvious..
You can glance at them all you want, but they're not even close to Trump - by an order of magnitude, or two.
This discusses recent presidential net worth before and after and how they made their money: Chart Shows Net Worth of US Presidents Before and After Office (2024) with Obama and Clinton making most of it after leaving office, and Biden from real-estate . Trump lost money after his first term due to the economic downturn during the pandemic and $590M in loan repayments and is currently raking it in via various, putting it politely, avenues (link below).
The net worth as of 2025 (various Google results):
Bidens: $10M - mostly property
Obamas: $70M - mostly books
Clintons: $300M - books, speaking, investments, consulting
Trump: $6.2B (down from $7.3B) - most while *in* office: Presidency Boosts Trump’s Net Worth By $3 Billion In A Year
Pelosis: $280M - investments (big-cap tech stocks) and real estate (most probably during her 40 years in office) and her husband is a venture capitalist.
List of presidents of the United States by net worth: #1: Trump, #4 Clinton, #12: Obama, #25 Biden.

Yeah let's just roll over and die?
Ya, but once everything is available as cloud-only services, how much RAM and storage will us consumers really need?
This is the difference between a government that cares about consumer rights, and a government who gleefully applies the lube for corporations to fuck you with.
You get lube? Luxury!
I bought a pretty powerful gaming desktop 8 or 10 years ago. Now it still runs all of the games I play
I have a Dell XPS 420, that a friend gave me years ago, that is currently running Windows 10 just fine. Don't know when he got it, but the system came out in 2007. I'm sure it would run Linux (Mint) very well too, though I'll be switching to a system I built already running Mint 22.2 (ASRock Z77 Extreme3, Intel i7-3770, 32GB RAM). Neither system meets the (arbitrary) HW requirements for Windows 11, if I even wanted to use it. I also have several other very old Intel-based systems that run Linux fine as well as one Athlon 64 X2 system running OPNsense. Newer isn't always better - use and needs count for more.
Also users (both regular and corporate) are quite literally exhausted of getting fucked in the ass by Micro$haft repeatedly
Still better that what you'd get from MacroSoft
It succeeded in, conveniently, disassembling itself *and* landing at multiple places at the same time.
lowered sales growth targets for certain artificial intelligence products
lower quotas for specific products
If it's something customers actually want, or even need, you don't need sales targets/quotas.
Why isn't everyone else?
Many species of ants definitely do not avoid sugar. Having a sugar bowl infested with ants is a disgusting but common experience.
Because they're not allowed to use people. Even ones they don't like.
Perhaps you should just grow up.
The people at the top of the pyramid (scheme) want you to believe that, but it's not true..
The finest eloquence is that which gets things done.
