There used to be reasonable limits on interest rates, but when credit card companies were allowed to violate state usury laws by setting up shop in a friendlier state, the laws became moot.

If he really wanted to bring those rates down, this could be a first significant step.

Which is why my TV was completely disconnected from the Internet. No Ethernet no WiFi.

I hope they arenâ(TM)t sneaking SIMs into them and use cellular to call home.

Funny thing is, San Francisco has the other type of cable car. Oh wait, they did once have the in air kind.

And apparently someone wants to do it again.

Very uncool that they block you from using delayed send to other devices. Got my first iPhone this year, and this BS makes me want to go back to Android. If I had known how petty Apple is, I would not have switched.

Shareholders donâ(TM)t want this, consumers want it.

Shareholders probably love Appleâ(TM)s unnecessary blocking of non Apple devices.

If they are dead, would that be dead naming?
And no, I do not like Cherry Garcia ice cream. Or Shirley Temples. Although an Arnold Palmer can be nice on a hot day.
And how can we forget, Tom Collins and his buddy Captain Morgan.

Your bags.

It is worth noting that the plant being closed is in the former DDR, East Germany. Sad to say, but there are still ramifications of the communist era there. I lived in West Germany before the wall came down, and have been back several times since. The East has gotten a lot better, but even last year when I visited, the East and West are not the same.
One of the most striking things was seeing the support for AfD in the eastern towns I visited. Not entirely surprising considering the economic squeeze.

As much as NDA involving public officials is problematic, there can be legitimate grounds for having them, for limited time frames.

When a company is looking to locate to an area, they need to line up land and resources. If everyone knows that company Z is looking to acquire land, speculators may jump in and artificially drive up prices. There can be a few other reasons as well.

Hiding info from the public because the plan is to stick the public with the costs is bad. Look into the shady AF tax diversions. Cabelaâ(TM)s negotiates sweetheart deals where the sales tax collected stays with them. Some large companies get deals to keep their employeeâ(TM)s state income tax withholdings.
None of that should ever be kept from the public and should be required to be publicly posted

You're fired!

Yep!
Thatâ(TM)s what I noticed and was going to post about, but thankfully you also spotted that bass ackward logic.
Seriously, you probably should not have any responsibility in a scientific field if you get this wrong. Sadly the current American administration seems to prefer those who fail basic logic.

They tried to do sending similar under the Biden administration, but nothing got done.
Iâ(TM)m not sure Americans would like Biden Accounts, but then again Biden didnâ(TM)t need his ego stroked by putting his name on everything.

This is a good idea, and it would be great with a different name. Maybe, Lifelong Investment Fund, or American Longterm Growth Opportunity for Retirement and Education.

You forgot belittler of womenâ(TM)s contributions.

Truly not many good reasons to praise this dweeb.

This is a great time to run older inefficient crypto mining rigs. You aren't wasting what wasn't going to be used. And even the old hardware wouldn't be used if you had to pay for power.

A win-win?

I suppose at such high temperatures sodium is highly corrosive, but my cars from the 1970's had sodium cooled valves, and those lasted quite a long time, intact. The sodium contained within did not interact with air or water, so was effectively inert. Of course it was fun to take a grinder to a removed valve and then drop it in a bucket of water.
