According to my calculations, the 13th day of November, 2026, actually *is* a Friday! How did they know this so far in advance?
Somebody get this man a Nobel Prize.

I just had this great idea for a fabulous new technology! I'm calling it CASH. Here are some of its features:
        Transactions are unhackable. No need to worry about who stole your credit card info every time a retailer suffers a security breach.
        Transactions not stored in any bank's database forever, to be sold to unknown third parties at any time in the future, for any purpose.
        No middleman taking a percentage of every transaction, cleverly hidden from the consumer, generating a 2% drain on the economy.
        Does not rely on any network or other technology - works even when the internet goes down.
        Always know exactly how much money you have and how much you are spending, and never be in debt.
        Fast as pulling a bill out of your wallet. Never wait for an overloaded network.
        And, obviously, cash is private and anonymous. Your transactions are nobody's business but yours and your counterparty's.

I'm looking for seed funding for this idea. Please send me cash.

Economic inequality is not equal to "poverty". I didn't see the word "poverty" used here, and I don't know where you got that.
An economically unequal society in one in which the wealthiest are far wealthier than the least wealthy. That's it. This might mean, for example, that a few people are billionaires, whereas the poorest members of society are just millionaires who only get to own two cars. Relative poverty is not (necessarily) actual poverty.

So this "religion of peace" which rules the theocratic dictatorship of this country is actively exporting engines of mass destruction to the world. Huh.
This must be some very special kind of "peace" which we unbelievers don't understand. Peace of the dead, perhaps?

Thank you for your valuable input! Your opinion has been logged, noted, and duly discarded.

Shockingly, it has been revealed that most developer don't understand machine language at all.
Henceforth, devs will be asked to explain and justify every machine language instruction.

are right twice a day. for once, the Cheeto in Cheif has accidentally made a good point.

This guy sounds like a real stable genius. Maybe he should run for president? /S!!!!

Excellent rebuttal. I see that MAGA hat isn't constricting the flow of blood to whatever you're using as a brain at all.

The question was, literally, "Which experts do we like today?"

I believe that was addressed by the highly relevant post above.
Please learn how to read.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
From what I can see, they seem more libertarian than fascist. So... basically the exact opposite.

It's pretty easy to disable. You just need to install LibreOffice.

I get your point just fine.
What I can't understand is why you choose to go nuclear over a simple statement of fact: Rand Paul voted against this bill. Period.
Now, if you want to discuss the reasons... that's another matter entirely. Maybe you're right, but my impression is that Rand Paul is and always has been a sincere libertarian. Call me a Heritage Foundation shill if you will, but voting against a massive increase in government debt strikes me as directly in line with his ethos. And I don't believe for a moment that he is any friend to agent Krasnov, unlike almost all of his Repulican colleagues.
Of course, it's a bit suspicious that this bill squeaked by with exactly the right number of votes, and not one more.

Uh... let's see if you can climb down off that horse of yours long enough to see reason.

> Which conservatives objected to the BBB, and didn't end up voting for it?

Rand Paul

Now. Which part of what I said was it that triggered you? Was it the "Rand" part, or the "Paul"?
Are you objecting because you don't consider Rand Paul to be conservative? Or because he actually did vote for this bill, in your esteemed opinion?

And when you refer to "you people", do you mean people who dare to speak his name? You seem to know an awful lot about me, which really is quite remarkable, given that all I said was a man's name. Do you work for the CIA???

Rand Paul
