"Brand awareness probably plays a role here." Gee, you think?

I'd say maybe, but those same people still own the messaging channels. It's hard to get a read on whether or not it'll turn over generationally. I'd say the youth are drinking the koolaid these days.

Lol this stupid administration was like "here's some money to make cheese, that'll make us look good people want cheese" .. and DOGE was like "here's some cheese, trust us it's cheese" and they drop a fucking block of cement on the desk. Just back scratching all the way around.

You have to pay for the cost of upgradaing at some point, but cmon US, this is your tax base you're talking about. Outside of *where* that money goes (it's impressive a country is so full of people who think too much goes to the military but yet so much goes to the military) why would you want to kneecap revenue collection? I'm consistently impressed by how the US raises so many adults who think their country would be better with a government that had no money to do anything. No welfare, no health care, all infrastructure private, etc .. the mentality is bananas, almost *because* of how obvious it is to land there.

If it's free, you're the product.

Don't you have some street corner to be ranting on?
