Not until a durty dumbocrat is in power. Then all EO's become teh debbil's notes and totes unconstitutional.

They need someone to bail them out of crypto since it failed to take off the way that was predicted.

Go back a few years and you'd see all crypto fluffers screeching that "Fiat currency is dead!" Some fairly wealthy individuals bought low enough they could sell now and make something... but nowhere near enough to justify tying up all that capital for this long. Solution: Convince the peons it's a great long-term investment and not a ponzi scheme, and change the laws so they can put the money into that particular casino game. The wealthy get a massive boost to their investments that have been lagging as they extract even more wealth from the lower middle-class.

People labeled it insightful - so not taking it as a joke. I've known a couple YouTubers and they flat out stated they'd record for days to come up with 20 minutes of "good" footage for their channel. Now some of that is weather related (in the case of a travel channel) and some days you can't seem to get anything but word salad out (tech channel) leading to endless retakes.

Those channels didn't hide the fact either, with the travel channel in particular noting that some days nothing seems to go well when recording... you just take the bad with the good... stop... breathe... and try again, but maybe later. They have never hidden that what they post is literally the highlight reel.

This is actually incorrect as only a small number of people (percentage) post anything other than curated thoughts and activities. That's also not that different from people before, even going back to the early days of radio.

What we need is something as tough, if not tougher, than GPDR in the US.

You can't even enforce that 1000 ft rule over congested airspace with manned aircraft. What makes you think you can stop it with drones? 1K ft is the FAA minimum for congested areas, and it drops to 500ft in less congested areas.

The best you can hope for is 500ft as the crow flies, and then a controlled vertical drop in front of the target residence.

Politicians? Try college faculty administrations. No publish, no tenure. That goes whether the researcher or the school is getting a government grant or not. This is an academic culture problem, not a political problem.

Enrico Fermi was a great man that accomplished more in his lifetime than you would in 100 lifetimes. Fuck off, troll.

A series of tubes.

The ACA was an attempt to both allow workplace health care, while simultaneously not requiring people to rely on healthcare tied to an employer.

Speaking of which, I've watched employer health care go from not bad at all to a definite have / have not scenario. You have a good job, usually college education required, you get decent insurance. You have a mediocre job you get, at best, mediocre insurance.

Was it good? No. Was it as bad as what there beforehand? No. That's the problem. The US healthcare system has been divided into haves / have nots for decades.

The ACA terrified employers as conceived because it would have ripped away their health insurance leverage with employees. What happens when an employee no longer needs the employer health plan? Answer: You might have to pay more money to retain your staff.

is that there are dumb reels making fun of college grads on the social media platforms featuring fake tradespeople. Don't get me wrong, a lot of your job prospects come down to dumb luck in choosing your degree... and persistence.

I grew up in a family of blue collar factory workers and tradespeople. None of them, including not a single master mason, master electrician, master welder, master plumber, master mechanic, and master carpenter (all with over a decade of experience) encouraged their kids to do anything except for get degrees. Why? Significant periods of unemployment, companies jerking you around, problems getting the general contractor / businesses to pay up, problems everywhere, and margins becoming so thin they couldn't see their kids averaging out (over a work career) as good as themselves in that same time frame.

Let me make this clear: Not a single one, from factory workers to highly skilled artisans, told their kids to get trades jobs because they knew the life personally. The only people who idolize tradepeople lives are people looking in from the outside. The work is hard, regularly filthy, sometimes highly dangerous, and often underpaid. Yeah, they're in a mini-boom for now. That being said, in a few years they might in a work famine again. Just look at electricians getting canned from solar projects that now have to scrap it out trying to find ANY job.

By the by, our parents were right for many of us. A part of it was what jobs you were lucky enough to get into, but most at least averaged out a smidge better. A few of us got some really high paying jobs exceedingly better than average. Some of us, the ones that went into tech, got better than average so far. So a college degree, granted we could work summers and pay for our college in cash, made our lives FAR better than our parents. I'm in far better shape than my parents at the same age. Even amongst our peers those who went into the trades are falling apart, physically, with a ridiculous number of surgeries from years of work wear / injuries as we're getting older. Surgeries, I might add, that are costing an ever increasing amount as their health insurance benefits wither.

They have to goose profits to claim an even fatter bonus

I mean all that information about people... companies would never abuse that unlike the government. Corporations and CEO's of these companies only have the best interests of Americans in their mind when it comes to this data.

HEY HOW COME EVERYONE IS LAUGHING!

Their real estate is.
