While there are briefings to alert the president about things that come up, Donald Trump is the first president who is not mentally capable of reading a briefing, and has EVERYONE do the work for him. The posts on Truth Social are being done by Natalie for example, and if you actually listen to Donald Trump, he can't keep his mind on important issues for longer than a few minutes without his mind drifting off to something else.

Donald Trump really isn't capable of leading at this point, dementia is too far along to let him even seem to be able to think rationally.

It's not the teachers doing it, it is the school administrators and school boards who don't want to lose financial help if the students aren't above a certain level. Conservatives here in the USA who are more concerned with their religion than making sure students can actually understand what is going on have gotten far too much control of school districts around the country.

Trump relies on others to tell him what is going on, because actually reading reports is well beyond his ability to process information. I don't know if he has always been this bad, or if he had a stroke 10-15 years ago that did it to him, but what we see today is where the woman who changes his diaper is the one who posts the nonsense on fake-Truth Social.

The issue at hand is that monitoring the behaviors of ANYONE, citizen or not, should require a warrant to show probable cause. Doing a search without that warrant being given first then falls under illegal search. It's not about if people have done something wrong, but more, law enforcement isn't allowed to just search you, your records, or go to private companies to do a search without there being a search warrant FIRST.

This is where ICE is continually breaking the law, because they don't go through the part of getting a search warrant first.

No, people want the police and ICE to be held accountable for illegal search and assaults on people. No one wants "increased government monitoring", except for the fascists who love the Trump administration. If the police or ICE KILLs someone and it's not justified, then those police officers or ICE agents should at the least lose their jobs, and they should be brought up on charges of manslaughter or murder if warranted.

Government monitoring where people go without a warrant is supposed to be illegal in this country. Capturing where EVERYONE is going falls into the category of government monitoring that everyone said was one of the worst parts of communism, right? Can't go anywhere without your travel papers, or being subject to a random search, so yea, these Flock cameras are a part of bringing the worst elements of being in a "police state" to the USA.

The idea of bringing jobs back, that could be handled with a much easier solution, taxing corporations based on the percentage of jobs that are actually here in the USA, and effectively charging corporations a LOT for outsourcing their labor to other countries. This would encourage companies to go through the H1B process to bring in workers from other countries(and get taxes from those workers), or to hire workers here.

Being afraid of the "illegals" is what shows how pathetic most of the people are who advocate for ICE, because if your own job skills are so bad that you are afraid of immigrants in the first place where those who can't speak English are seen as a better hire, then YOU need to look at yourself and what you have done wrong in your life. It's really that simple, people say that the immigrants from South of the border are unskilled and can't speak English so should be sent back, but then, why would THAT cause a loss of jobs for citizens, unless those citizens are horrible employees so would be passed over for a job?

It would be far better to just allow all of the undocumented to stay, as long as they get their paperwork started to get legal status to live and work in this country. If they were documented and here legally, then crime wouldn't be an issue for them, because they wouldn't need to be afraid of immigration going after them.

How about putting down how much all of those ILLEGAL and unsanctioned attacks on Venezuela and Iran cost? How about all the money that was spent trying to extort personal bribes to make Trump not put tariffs on certain things just to benefit those business insiders? How about those tax cuts for billionaires that never needed them and doesn't actually benefit the USA?

You are more worried about a trans person because why, they might be attracted to YOU, so they get treatment to become a woman to try to seduce you? Is that what you are really worried about?

Back before Ford got rid of normal passenger cars in North America, I saw that they had a "S" trim as a really really basic version, below the SE that most people consider a base-line car. I have a memory that some of the S-trim versions started without even including power windows and door locks in the 2000s-2015 model year range. Now, picture a car being so cut back that it doesn't have power door locks and windows, and then realizing that the only people who would buy those would be companies that lease vehicles, or provide them as a loaner car.

By the time this new generation becomes available outside of Korea, this whole idea may be gone, because research will show how few will accept the lack of a "proper" instrument cluster.

I have the 2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL with convenience package, and it's a great car. You are jumping to the conclusion that people who just read the headline or skim the article have made. So, to go back to what I have been saying in some of my other responses, only the BASE BASE model is like this, and all of this is also based on the initial release in Korea. North America and Europe, plus other regions, may not have the lack of a full instrument cluster as even an option to buy. Think about it, when you look at cars, if you look at ALL of them, there are those strange "base" versions that make you wonder if they view power locks/windows as an upgrade they are so basic.

At the least, you go from that to a SE trim that has a bit more than the base. You may not need the top "limited" trim, but you will want something with more features than that really base level trim. Car rental companies may go for those really cut-rate trims to go for lower prices.

Do you always by the very bottom trim with zero upgrades? Don't assume that what this article is talking about applies to the entire range of Hyundai vehicles, it's for the VERY VERY base models that only those with very little money, or car rental companies would go for. Want a car that people won't try to steal for whatever reason, go for the cheapest vehicle around.

And that is where hybrids and full EVs have an advantage, no need to have the engine rev before moving when the electric element can provide that low end torque needed for acceleration. Turbo on smaller engine vehicles is worse, a 1.4 or 1.6 liter turbo will have the fun turbo lag on top of an underpowered engine.
