No, I'm not going to play that game. You can google yourself.

If you can't be bothered to support your statements don't expect anyone to be bothered to care about what you have to say.

It's a matter of such renowned concern that you'd have to be willfully ignorant to not be appraised of it.

See above.

9.2 million according to Paragon Health Institute, and no one else.

Let's say it's true though. Is it all fraud? Much of it is automatic enrollment. Simply bad management by the government, as it continues to re-enroll people that have not been eligible since the end of the pandemic. (which is where most of them got added in)

Most straight-forward solution is to fast track the delayed eligibility reviews. And the OBBBA mandates that states do the reviews on a schedule, but it doesn't offer resources or a grace period. So no soft landing, and likely people dropped who shouldn't be in the scramble. (like my Mother who can't travel and is now denied a remote interview. social worker and attorney are now involved, so we'll see)

Stop using the word insider. It's a weasel word. There's nothing insider about this.

Insider is not a weasel word. The president providing advanced notice of material policy decisions to people who pay him so they can exploit the markets is of course insider trading.

Imagine someone finds out that the SEC is going to ban the trading of cryptocurrencies.
Imagine he tells the world.
Everyone who trades on that is guilty of insider trading

For insider trading to be insider trading it has to be an insider doing the trading or disclosing and it has to be material non public information. Your example fails both tests.

Everyone who trades on that is guilty of insider trading....

Given your example is not insider trading conclusions drawn from your incorrect assertion are themselves also invalid.

Pelosi's trading is well documented, public information in fact. But proving insider trading, even under the STOCK Act, is very difficult and nobody has picked up the case. There's a lack of concrete legal evidence to convict. Going ahead without evidence as a political witch hunt would fail spectacularly, another Ken Starr debacle like his empty accusation during the Whitewater scandal.

For what it's worth, I would be fine charging Pelosi and the entire Trump family for how they have abused their position. But I'm not going to hold my breath that any of these politicians will answer to the American People for what they have done with the power we granted to them.

Meanwhile the Democrat lemmings here ignore people like Nancy Pelosi. Multiple people in both houses having been doing this crap for decades and you so called educated folks ignore that very obvious fact.

But but but Trump.

This is exactly why I rarely post here anymore. Your TDS has blinded you. Just like how you ignore that the DSA is taking over the DNC while you aren't paying attention.

Do you believe it is possible to ever focus on a given topic without being required to evaluate every other instance of any other situation that could be remotely construed to be similar having ever occurred in human history?

If you were in court defending a client from a murder charge would you chastise the court for their failure to enumerate all the other murders who murder too? Would you drone on about how it is unfair to single out your client while asserting the court is suffering from MDS (Murderer Derangement Syndrome)?

Comment The point is vendor lock-in (Score 1) 122

The point is, mandatory use of Truth Social and, of course, getting paid by the (richest) users of Truth Social.

Being a borderline accessory to insider trading is co-incidental to the true purpose of this deal; vendor lock-in. Forcing the government onto Truth Social isn't the cash cow that Trump and family, wanted. So, they identified someone who cares sufficiently to spend money on a shitty product, to gain a first-mover advantage.

IMO you cannot rely on users without having safeguards in place. Mistakes will happen plus there is always the threat of malicious behavior.

Trust but verify. Creating the Apple ID with using your new company email should be part of the onboarding process. Matter of fact the IT folks that created the email could also create apple, google, and microsoft accounts needed.

What all the hate? It's so weird, they act like someone overthrew their government, occupied them, then forcibly annexed them.

So you excuse overt racism. and hatred. Whataboutism at its finest! Tell the pe4son that hate and racism is okay.

And do you have the proof that the Hawaiians are truly the original humans on the Island, therefore can claim sovereignty?

Now this all smacks of the racist hate of so called "white people", so let's take a test.

My ancestors came to the USA from Eastern Europe, and Italy after WW1, fleeing from oppressive and dangerous governments.

Am I responsible for slavery in the USA based on the color of my skin?

And before you get spun up and want to call me racist because I stood up for teh evilz white people, make no mistake, Race is the ultimate social construct. Race does not exist until human speciation occurs. Humans of differing skin tones are no more races that white and black horses. Therefore it is specious.

All of which is to say, if you believe in race, you are by definition a racist.

Its not anecdotal, that’s you trying to rationalize an inconvenient face.

Well, apparently he does not give a fsck, and we must remember that is the sort of intellect we're dealing with.

But seriously, apparently for some, an update that sends their computer into a reboot loop, or not boot at all, or kills bluetooth, or renames all the song drivers or just kill them, or moves programs into the cloud, or just the ones that are supposed to be on the computer or renames the local user to the to the Microsoft account, killing the programs associated with that, or a lot of others is simply the best, and all others are unworthy. These are verifiable facts If I spend an hour trying to fix a wrecked W11 machine, I could have bought 2 of them. I've noted my classes in here on W11 that every week, new update issues occurred, and were an utter waste. We moved to Linux, and suddenly everything worked. We even broke up early because we reached the end of the syllabus. Mac takes this even further. You can get Windows and Linux running natively on the Mac desktop. I’m doing this on a modest Mac mini M4 with 24GB RAM. Windows 11 and Debian better than my tower PC with Intel gen 14 i7 and 64GB RAM.

And it is magnificent! How a machine that runs the three major OS' is somehow deficient, is one of the mysteries . Maybe we have to swear at it more?

Oh - and my machine boots after updates.
