... when all those batteries need to be replaced ...

What about all that "beautiful, clean coal" I keep hearing about from someone? Maybe they should try that. /s :-)

Our current President and his followers especially... Usually the smarter (more educated) someone is the more they realize how much they don't know. Sadly, the opposite is also often true. The dumber (less educated) often they know more than they do. See: Dunning–Kruger effect

Trump thinks he knows everything and is the best at everything, which makes me believe this story about one of his former Wharton professors, as reported here:

Sounds like some good learnin', but Republicans, "Conservatives" and MAGA don't really want a well-rounded, well-educated electorate who can think for themselves, especially if it would disadvantage those in charge.

Over the next quarter or five-ten years? 'Cause U.S. companies only really seem to care about the former, while the Chinese seem to care more about the latter.

To be fair, they don't all hoard all of it; some buy really, really expensive yachts - and slightly less expensive backup yachts for those yachts - or media companies, like TikTok and Paramount, a Nth back-up mansion, or donate money to the President for favors, etc...

Don't worry, all the cuts and changes by RFK, Jr. will even things out. /s

People will have to pay $20/month for a browser w/o AI. :-(

(a) Declare bankruptcy.
(b) Use money to buy - I mean, lobby for - I mean get pardon. (Will work for 3 more years)
(c) Successively rename company: "MacroStrategy", "MegaStrategy", ... "MAGAStrategy".
(d) Goto "a".

Hegseth double-tapped it for him. :-)

Cogent sailed a while ago. Here's a quote from Trump announces $12 billion bailout plan for farmers hit by trade war with China (12m:16s) :

Noting that's technically true, but nonsensical: Farmers need a bailout because of tariff / trade war that Trump started and he says bailout wouldn't be possible without the tariffs -- which are paid by U.S. companies and consumers. Once again, solving, or at least mitigating, a problem he started and proud of it. For example, China was buying tons of soybeans from the U.S. before he imposed tariffs, now they're buying them from Brazil.

Buy more cards - duh. /s :-)

Well... maybe less favored now. Donald Trump Lashes Out At Paramount Owners In Rant About Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Appearance On ‘60 Minutes’

Remember, everything is a quid-pro-quo with Trump, like this: Trump slams ‘lack of loyalty’ after pardoned [Texas] Democrat says he won’t change party. Trump literally expected this guy to switch from Democrat to Republican if he pardoned him -- which sounds like a bribe, that Trump (now) would be immune from prosecution thanks to SCOTUS.

To some extent, probably, and I'm guessing they'll find a way to pass it along to their customers, after writing the fine off on their taxes. Rich people and corporations care about every penny. For example: Elon Musk calls for abolition of European Union after X fined $140 million -- which is literally pocket change for him.

Noting that UPS and FedEx don't have to deliver to every address, USPS does.

Also, the Postal Service is in The Constitution, Postal Clause.
