According to Fox News, Texas students rank very highly on standardized science tests including: "Creation, how six days of work can beat your stupid evolution", and "Women, why they are best suited for child-rearing and obedience".

The game is called talent, and talent doesn't want to move to Texas, especially female talent.

Austin is nice. At least when it's under 80F.

I actively avoid purchasing from companies based in Texas, though. And other states (Arkansas and Tennessee come to mind) that are playing the same "race to the bottom". I choose to vote with my wallet. But don't forget the supposed "good guys" like Apple, which moved its corporation to another country altogether to dodge taxes -- the same "race to the bottom" but on a global scale.

well the woke left have released thousands of guilty people.

Bleeding heart liberals may be idiots, but they do believe in the rule of law. Their sin is in believing that everyone is redeemable. Christ might approve, but most voters don't.

However, at this point in the USA, MAGAs and Republicans are actually responsible for the destruction of the rule of law. We have the president breaking the law, repeatedly, daily, whenever he's not enriching himself by trading stocks using insider information, while abusing the apparatus of law enforcement under his direct control to both protect himself from rightful prosecution, and to direct the prosecution of his perceived enemies.

Your support for the illegal abuse of power is un-American. I look forward to you being deported to Russia or North Korea once a sensible government is reinstated here.

Don't forget: ICE, Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, ...

Back when I tried it, it installed super invasive stuff on my system, with a similar feel to an Adobe installer; later on, it took me an hour or two later to remove all of the tentacles that DropBox had shat on my OS (which is admittedly less than it took me to remove the Adobe shatware). And this was on macOS, which comes with network-capable drive mounting as part of the UNIX-based OS -- i.e. no install of any software should have been required just to use a service like DropBox.

I totally get how, if you want some fancy bells and whistles that an OS doesn't come with, that you might have to install something. But to just upload a file into the cloud where you can then get to it from somewhere else?!? Why would it need to install crapware? And to add insult to injury, it would crash my machine (and not much would crash macOS), so I had to manually clean its crapware off of my system. Fortunately, I've been working in software for 45 years, so I could scrape this off my windshield and get on with life.

I have no idea why anyone likes Dropbox. It is terribly invasive to one's operating environment, with very little to show for that invasiveness other than slow-downs, crashes, weird error messages, and (one can assume) security issues. The pricing for such a basic service was always a complete non-starter for anyone who knew anything about computers. And as a company/service/product, it made an immediate beeline for the enshitification awards.

It does seem like something that Y Combinator incubator would produce, which is a pretty big insult in my world.

The trump administration has already sued Minnesota because Minnesota does not get to have states' rights. It turns out that states' rights are reserved for specific cases, specifically: confederate states trying to take people's rights away.

I would buy an EV from Honda.

Musk wanting control? Who might have guessed?

Not at all surprising. He also took control of Tesla, someone else's company that he did not start, and he's been raping it for cash ever since.

I'll hand it to you: When it comes to boot-licking, you never give up.

First, Business Insider is a pay-to-play game. If you have a few dollars, they'll publish whatever you want published.

Second, this "anonymous reader" providing this story to publish here wouldn't happen to be working for ... um ... Elon Musk?!? FFS, that douchebag is so transparent.

"the President Donald J. Trump Advanced Energy and Intelligence Campus — remains mostly unfinished."

Wow. That's so ... um ... surprising.

I've always wondered: What do boots actually taste like? Please, "prof_robinson", with your extensive boot-licking experience, would you tell us?

In the United States, the president is the executive, and in that role, he carries out the laws. Those laws represent policy. The president does not make the laws (the policy); he simply carries it out.

trump -- who never managed to win even 50% of the vote in any of his three elections -- behaves like a dictator, not a president. He disregards the laws, the courts, the constitution, our traditions, and the norms of our society. Weak minded people follow, worship, and defend him.

Do you want to win? Because this obviously how you win.

Yes, as an American, winning would be a great change. Over just the past year and a half, we've lost the work and investment of multiple generations. Rebuilding our alliances, our educational institutions, our scientific infrastructure, the rule of law, the trust in our public institutions, etc. will now be the work of several generations to come. And given how much inertia we've discarded, and how much momentum we've transferred to countries such as China, I'm not sure that America will ever be able to recover its position of leadership.

But I assume that the point that you're trying to make is that my strong opposition to ignorant, corrupt, and incompetent leadership is only going to help the ignorant, corrupt, and incompetent movement to continue to amass power. If that is indeed the case, then we are all doomed.
