Well, of course. I mean, could you imagine if people knew the things their government was doing? It’d be a disaster!

Yeah because that’s saved so much money and worked so well

It’s hurt a lot of people though, and cruelty is the point.

So… given the “Every accusation is a confession” rule, what protests do you think he’s funded?

Tim Blair, a spokesman for Acadia, said in a statement that the company had a zero-tolerance policy for behavior that could put staff or patients in danger. “We reject any notion that we put profits over patients,”

I reject your reality and substitute our profits.

Ehh… natural food colorings are often a lot more allergenic then the artificial ones. So if somebody has a allergy to annato or cochineal some such this could be bad news for them.

Just to add on, that’s also why he’s so obsessed with money. Anytime anyone calls him a insecure moron, he can point to his vast hoard and say “Well obviously you’re wrong because I’m rich!” He sees his net worth as being equal to his worth as a person.

Edit: Wrong your

That’s the scary thing, Musk and Trump have bought into their own hype. Mush believes his drug addled “I’m fourteen and this is deep” type statements really are pearls of wisdom handed born from his genius. He’s literally too stupid to comprehend how stupid he is.

He might even be being told it. I’m sure the legions of suck-ups he surrounds himself with are telling him exactly what he wants to hear.

We’ve got rice ‘n beans.

Out of curiosity have you ever tried to grow enough rice and beans to feed yourself? Since you’re so confident maybe you should give it a try this year. I’m sure it’ll be very gratifying to boast about how you grew most of the calories you ate in 2026.

That sounds great until you start having food shortages.

Shortly after Trump’s announcement, the British government said the United States remains the U.K.’s “closest ally.”

I’m sorry TERF island, that’s not gonna keep Trump from stabbing you in the back too.

and the price of bitcoin dropped 4.4%.

I cannot express how much I hate that this appears in a serious economic article.

I find the Ivermectin worship so weird. You’ve got MAGA’s “I don’t trust big pharma so I won’t take their fancy pants medicines” but for this one drug, that’s also manufactured by pharmaceutical companies suddenly they pivot to “Ivermectin is a panacea because Jesus personally blesses every molecule in the horse deworming paste I put on my toast.”

I mean, I realize it’s foolish to expect consistency from conservatives. But it’s such a fundamental contradiction you’d think even they would notice.

Or to put it another way, LLM’s are advanced chatbots. Their purpose is to generate credible sounding text, not accurate text.

So… I’m guessing the plebs get the cryptocurrencies. Which are backed by stablecoins… which are backed by tech grifters saying “I can cover it bro, trust me”.

Meanwhile the elites will take all that worthless gold and dispose of it for us.

“It feels like a fake technological solution for a problem that doesn’t exist,” she says.

Yep, that’s pretty much every proposed blockchain use case.

Not any people with money. You don’t get rich by having principles.

I’d say it’s a given at this point.

Trump has offended pretty much all of our major trade partners, so we need a new market to sell US goods as well as replace our imports. As it just so happens, Russia desperately needs goods due to the sanctions and has a reduced manufacturing capacity as a result of marching all their young (and not so young) men into a meat grinder. And even though Putin is a backstabbing, murderous, KGB thug Trump knows that he won’t touch him, because Trump’s just too useful of a flunky.

Granted it’s a morally repugnant move, but when has that ever stopped Trump?

At least there are still some adults in the government.

Strategic for what? When would the government ever say “Damn… we must have Bitcoin now!”?
