Muslims are doing your mom WHILE eating your dog, white people are not coordinated like that. Shuddup maga!

"Toldja DEI would turn the world into a shithole, Trump always right. It was nice and white for a reason! God wanted it that way, he told me while I hit a hole-in-one from a million yards, true story, everyone saw it! Then the radical woke left made Santa and Areola the Mermaid black, so sad, they ruin everything, including my digestive system, can't eat KFC anymore said my doctor, the world has gone to Hell, lots of Hell, so we have to work harder to repair it like Columbus did to the Mayflower, rescuing the chosen people from Hannibal Lecter and woke sharks. You know, sharks wouldn't eat people if they weren't woke, RFK tested them in my Big Gold Bathtub, so beautiful, bling bling, blong blong! #MAGA!"

SpaceX donated fifty Starlink terminals

The world may be saved from disaster by Elon Musk? gag me!

As soon as I purchased Intel stock, they lost their mojo.

I'm waiting for these clowns to screw up bad enough that even their fans have to realize they are bozos with snake oil (or on snake oil). For example, let him nuke a hurricane and then have to evacuate two South Eastern states because of radiation risk.

It makes sense for rural areas with rough or winding roads. If something goes wrong, there's not a lot to kill, other than sheep. They could fly around small towns to avoid population.

That's because "both sides are bad" is an escape hatch that gets one out of the uncomfortable position of having to critically evaluate the two.

Political parties have become tribes, and now at least half of the country has lost the capacity for being critical of their own. I don't see how this gets reconciled peacefully, let alone amicably.

No actual mainstream press outlet has taken any of those positions, so as usual, you're just making things up so you have something to be angry about.

Fox News started this idea that political reporting always needs to treat both sides of an issue as equally valid, regardless of how closely either side adheres to facts and and good-faith arguments.

"Fair and Balanced" as it has become would demand equal time for Jews and Nazis in a piece about the Holocaust.

"But I find it laughable to argue the federal government or any government is efficient."

Well, you're wrong. Medicare is more efficient than insurance companies, since it's not trying to make a profit for shareholders happy to profit from suffering.

"So next I would hope for traditional "safety nets" of family and community to kick in."

Why do you want the least efficient option? You hate things that make sense?

I bet most the AI hiring is spam/scam co's looking to automate and customize spam. Unlike real work, the "AI slop factor" isn't a show-stopper in Spamville.

Yes, in the Dark Patterns Department. They were competing with Amazon.

"Cloud" is out, "AI" is in, until it isn't.

I hope the AI hype poppage is a soft landing rather than a repeat of 2008. That one hurt.
