Fine… I will say it.

I really don’t think we ought to trust this Trump fellow anymore, he doesn’t seem to be on the up and up.

They are a scapegoat in my opinion for presidents and congress. Congress can’t or won’t pass sensible immigration reform laws, so instead they just throw money into ICE knowing it’s always been a boondogle, but pretend like they are somehow addressing the issue.

Obviously ICE attracts some terrible people, but it would barely need to even exist if our politicians were willing to pass policy changes.

I think what you are seeing publicly is his “microdoses”. His friends have said that he “microdoses daily, and macrodoses at parties” when referring to his ketamine use.

But yeah, IDK the economics of the ketamine trade. Although I somehow doubt he is getting it from doctors based off when these stories first came out, his affinity and constant use of the substance, and it’s availability. In prescription form it’s a new drug that’s closely being watched.

That reduces diabetes risk, but not CKD risk.

Cats evolved from desert dwellers and often don’t like drinking water, they rarely do so in nature and get most of their liquids from their food. If a cat only eats dry food and doesn’t drink enough kidney disease is just an inevitability. Of our 3 cats only one of them drinks water regularly.

Imagine how much power his ketamine dealer has… One spiked bag could change America.

It’s certainly how you create volatility in the stock market…

Dry food is the worst between their diabetes risk and CKD risk.

I feel like that’s the entire point of the article. These technological “solutions” are being forced on us more and more and they are often I’ll conceived. Like QR ordering only systems.

Everytime Trump threatens tariffs they should out a one week export ban on literally everything to the US… That would really shock the system.

At this point I think it’s just market manipulation. They are already going back on some of the tariffs.

That’s the beauty, it’s not just laying there. If security stops, mining stops. Make them pay for everything to setup in that deposit right between Donsk and Mariupol. Make the foreigners take all the risk and if they get bombed, they should have made a better deal.

Aren’t there actually tiktok alternatives I’m the Fediverse, rather than suggesting something that’s use case is different?

Edit: I meant to say Facebook alternatives…

Big holidays? America will be in a recession by Easter at this rate

Even if it adds up to 19 billion, it will never be that number. There are costs to terminating a contract, usually requiring compensation for all materials bought or produced, as well as overhead costs related to the contract. There is a reason that contracts exist and it’s to disincentivize the dissolution of an agreement… Termination for convenience is not cheap.

That’s not even getting into lawsuits related to direct employee terminations.

And at the end, this is for what? What benefit do we get from tearing up contracts that are half completed and half paid for? What benefit is there in laying off people that wanted to serve and in many cases took a pay cut to do it, knowing that the trafeoff is stability of their employer and the knowledge that they are helping the country.

Yeah but they were hampered by pesky laws and rules last time

They tried to turn “entitlement” into a slur, but I don’t hear it much anymore so I think that backfired on them.

Send him to Mars with a camera and he can vlog his adventure I am sure the reality shows revenue could offset some costs.

You mean in Ukraine? There are tons of other stuff to mine and even some rare earth outside of controlled area… It just is probably less profitable to mine. Here is a map

So there’s a huge deposit between Mariupol and Donetsk, which is in Russian controlled territory. It’s probably the easiest to mine and most economically viable… I think that was the original plan Zelensky was thinking. Get some American mining infrastructure there and then thr US has skin in the game.

Trump seems to have a survey of the entire countries rare earth resources and is just taking the entire estimated value and splitting in half. Which as you pointed out is stupid, because a lot of the deposits are smaller or would be much more expensive to mine.

But isn’t part of why we are here is because our Constitution is vague to some people, it’s clauses without claws… What happens when the supreme court interprets the laws to be unconstitutional, whats to stop us from just doing this all again… People are not properly represented the electoral college, among many other things need to be fixed.
