So this isn't at all what you asked for, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway: Ubiquiti. You'll pay more and they're all PoE rather than wireless, but if you spend the money and run the wires (hey, you have to run a wire for power anyway, might as well use it for data, too) you won't regret the results.
Biden tried and failed, because it wasn't legal.
Actually he tried and partly failed because it was only partly legal.
But he definitely cannot create a new revenue stream and direct it however he chooses.
That might not stop him from trying, and unless Congress or the courts rein him in, it won't stop him from doing it. As I pointed out above, in this case it's unclear that anyone would have standing to sue (not taxpayers; it wouldn't be tax money -- maybe nVidia or China, but they like the deal), so stopping him would probably require Congress to act. And what are the odds that the Republican Congress would grow a spine?
It may have been more useful to have already known that it would not be possible for Trump to do what you described.
"Not be possible" is too strong.
It's clearly possible unless Congress or the courts prevent it, even though it is clearly illegal. But Trump is doing lots of things that are clearly illegal, which is why the courts keep issuing injunctions to stop him (and then SCOTUS keeps staying the injunctions to let him go ahead and do it anyway, at least for a while). In a sane world, the fact that an action is illegal would be a stronger constraint because the president would have to be concerned that Congress would impeach and convict him, and he would have to be concerned about potential criminal liability. In the world that exists, the GOP leadership in Congress refuses to do their job to rein in the executive, and SCOTUS has declared the president above the law so there are few practical limitations on his power.
So far, the only thing that seems to really make Trump back off is when the stock market crashes.
Nevertheless, a slush fund of several billion dollars per year that the president is truly able to spend with complete discretion would be a significant additional increase in power because it's not clear that anyone would have standing to sue, so courts could not intervene regardless of constitutionality. Congress would be able to intervene, of course, but, again, the GOP-led Congress has almost completely abdicated. I had to add "almost" only because they actually did stand up to him on the Epstein files (sort of; the bill left Pam Bondi with near-total freedom to withhold anything she wants, not legally, but practically).
Trump is more open than other Presidents.
No, Trump is more secretive than most other presidents. You're confusing "unfiltered and disorganized" with "transparent". I do have to grant that he's incredibly transparent about his corruption. Well, maybe. He has been transparently corrupt in lots of ways, but it still seems likely that there's more corruption which he's keeping hidden.
Gyre is a more official name for the Pacific Garbage patch, as there are presumably few kids in it
Not really IMO, moderation is broken by design at best
I don't see a rash of bans, but I do see the same abusers of moderation given all the mod points they can use every day.
You can thank student loans for that. Earlier generations got their schooling subsidized, but now people have to get loans to pay for it themselves instead. Colleges therefore could raise tuition. Then a bipartisan effort in Congress was launched to make sure we couldn't discharge those loans through bankruptcy like you can gambling or other personal debts, which was led by Joseph R Biden. I think we know how that turned out, forgiveness for a few of the worst abused players, and blaming inability to keep his campaign promises related to partial forgiveness for all buyers blamed on Congress while he went around them to fund genocide in Gaza.
But last I read of it, it goes into a fund controlled by the President -- a slush fund, in olden terms.
Where did you read that? If it's true it would be momentous. A totally discretionary fund of $2-6B per year (based on nVidia's projections of selling $2-5B per quarter to China) would give the president enormous unchecked power.
I've spend some time searching and haven't found anything to substantiate this claim. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd like to see where you got the idea from.
Perhaps they could establish a payment network for them or otherwise make them actually useful. File and pay your taxes for you.
The USPS is also pretty crap about it. They regularly just don't bother to add new addresses to their databases for months or sometimes even years. At work we're having to use an alternate address for a multi story residence with dozens of units because of this. It's really quite irritating. Their address validation system is also shit. They will tell you for example that an address has an invalid secondary (unit number type, e.g. suite/apartment/whatever) but then won't tell you what the correct one is even though they have to know in order to tell you that the one you used is invalid. And this is when you PAY for validation! I don't know how much of this is due to DeJoy but it's shit.
We don't need more military. In fact we need less.
The reason for the existence of the second amendment was to not need a standing militia. We DEFINITELY don't need both things.
Did they actually get it? I only saw it was proposed.
Will farmers actually get it? Farm subsidies are mostly claimed by large corporations.
They are understaffing on purpose not only despite the requirements, but because of their desire to not meet them.
This kind of thing can lead to insolvency crises which can affect you.
"If Beijing wanted, they could just send the PLA to occupy Siberia, and Putin couldn't do a thing about it"
China is not stupid enough to tip their hand. They will continue preying on Russia by doing sleazy business with them (like selling them the tires that got their advance stuck in the mud) as long as they can first.
