Comment The big beautiful bill will collapse the economy (Score 1, Troll) 65

Simply put the additional debt with out tax increases that goes straight to the 1% is going to spook the bond market.

The government can borrow as much money as it wants as long as it's pouring it right back into the economy because it comes right back out.

The trouble with Trump is that he's going to borrow $5 trillion dollars and just hand it to the top 1%, who will use it too by a competitors and jack up prices.

The bond market rightfully understands that's a recipe for disaster so they will invert the yield curves and basically crash the bond market.

That will weaken the US dollar increasing the price of imports and The increased inflation coupled with high interest rates and the constant layoffs that plague our entire economic system will lead to a massive crash.

This is before we talk about all the deregulation that's going on that leaves Wall Street open to do pretty much anything they want.

I've said it before but half the people reading this or going to be home listen 4 years, maybe six depending on how much equity they have in their house before the bank takes it. They'll get you with the healthcare system. You'll lose your job and you'll need healthcare so you'll mortgage your house to pay for it. You won't be able to get Medicaid either and there won't be any work for somebody pushing 50. But the system will be designed to prevent you from accessing healthcare unless you have a job, which as I mentioned above you can't get. So you will mortgage your house to pay for the medicine that keeps you alive and then eventually fall behind until the bank takes it.

And that seizure of property is going to be how we get our first trillionaire.

Comment Sane washing (Score 3, Informative) 65

It's entirely possible the person you're replying to really isn't living in the same world as you. There's a phenomenon from last year called sane washing where the entire news media protects Donald Trump and the Republican party at all costs and anyone who threatens them gets fired immediately.

I watched dozens of journalists fired last year for trying to call Donald Trump to task on the things he's said and done

Stephen Miller wants them arresting 3,000 people a day when they're barely doing that in a month. It's why they keep pulling actual US citizens off the streets.

Seriously if you have a tan you could easily find yourself locked up for two or three weeks. Let alone if you are actually Latino or Hispanic. And they could care less if you are a US citizen.

Also the whole thing is really there to get us used to having a heavily militarized police just kind of walking around. We are gradually being conditioned to expect people in full camo with covered faces and assault rifles walking around our cities as if it's normal. It's another aspect of project 2025.

It's a scam just like recycling his old scam to keep the plastic industry going.

One of the things that frustrates me is an adult is how we have all these bizarre fucked up scams that make up our civilization and society that we all just kind of shrug our shoulders at and allow.

It's the old boiling of frog trick. If you took a kid and you told them how dishonest adults are they'd be pretty fucking pissed but you grow up learning one scam after another.

The one that got me first as a kid was Christopher Columbus and finding out he was an absolute monster. Like Adolf Hitler grade son of a bitch. There are plenty of others though.

I got turned away from nuclear after I read the TMI accident report. They were incredibly lucky there and massively, grossly incompetent. And these days even the claims of being commercially viable are clear and direct lies.

Now if you want to compare that approach to what the MAGAs do, feel free. But do not expect any respect for that.

More like 40 years. The whole thing is just a bad idea that will not die and gets hyped all out of proportion. Maybe we can do another attempt in 100 years or so, but at this time we cannot even scale up at grossly insecure stuff. Wake me when they can factor 1024 bit.

Comment Trump has expanded the high skill work visas (Score 0, Troll) 65

Most notably the h1b. So if you make good money you can expect that none of this is going to have any effect on you. We are rounding up a whole bunch of Mexicans and Hispanics, honestly mostly Hispanics Mexico's median income has been going up, who work in low tier shit jobs but we are still bringing in a fuck ton people to take middle class jobs.

Also Trump is already working on figuring out how to bring in more people on little skill work visas without pissing off his base. The bill he passed that cuts somewhere around 15 million people off Medicaid is extremely unpopular, so he waited until after the midterms. But the fact that he passed it anyway indicates that he's not going to need any votes in 2028. And no that's not because it's his second term. We will be seeing a third term of trump unless he happens to die.

The only thing I find hilarious, and it's going to get me down modded into pulp, is that in case you were wondering why all these numbskulls voted to get rid of the workers they needed for their farms it's because they're kind of racist and they thought that the black people would come back to the plantations as it were.

Practical quantum prime factorization is all the way up to (some) 2 digit numbers and it only took 20 years. Lately, scaling of quantum computers seems to have hit a wall. MS's meetoo quantum chip turned out to be a mock-up, Google's imminant announcement of the largest QC yet is now a year overdue and silence from the hype machine is ominous.

So I guess this is Aptiv trying to cash in (or perhaps cash out) before the bust.
