Insurance isn’t going to pay out it’s $700 billion market cap. If this keeps up, Tesla the company won’t exist any longer.

God they’re going to say everything people are angry about was Musks fault and try to shift the blame.

I mean look at the stock market, customer sentiment, etc. Everything is pointing down and we haven’t started to see the unemployment that’s going to be brought on from all the government layoffs and attempts to rescind grants/contracts.

I think the next jobs report is going to be painful and we won’t see anything positive economically for a while after that.

I’ve been to that museum. It is extremely bizzare with a bunch of real penises from all sorts of animals (and people) floating in jars. The facts on all the plaques are kinda fun, but many of the penises are in questionable state.

Also the museum was started by someone who was randomly gifted a whip made from a bulls penis. That kicked off a weird fascination and he started both collecting and being gifted more and more until he figured they might as well open a museum.

I mean, it’s only been 2 months. 9% drop vs 5% gain is a 14% shift from expected. That’s impressive, and Trump administration is just getting started.

I think if you give it a month or two that number is going to change significantly. Most people haven’t really started to feel/see the consequences of his actions yet, and there is a bit of a lag.

Sadly the US system is not designed to oust the president that easily. It would be a first if Trump was removed from office due to the impeachment process, removing the prime minister is a much lower bar.

I think you mean green Mario

Cause now it’s no longer a conspiracy, they’re just coming right out and saying a bunch of people dying is fine.

Tarrifs are a tax, they are going up, and it’s a sales tax which are commonly regressive (hit lower income families more).

SteamOS is still the main OS. I’ve just got a microsd for dual booting. I feel like a ROG Ally would be a downgrade at that point.

I did install windows on a microsd to play some online games with my steamdeck. It’s a so-so experience, but at least means you can literally play anything on the steamdeck.

The issue with your stats is it includes non commercial flights, but most people will only hear/care about commercial airline crashes, and 2025 has had a rough start - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_accidents_and_incidents_involving_commercial_aircraft_in_the_United_States

I get why you’re being downvoted, but a lot of people seem to be ignoring that the US still has top tier secondary education, numerous job opportunities, and is still a major global player. On top of that the US is a very diverse country. However much we may struggle with racism and societal issues, there are large populations of people from every region/religion/language.

It’s more about funding and authority than anything else. Musk has to front the money to run the think tank tank and they can’t actually do anything becuase they have no authority to operate. It’s literally going to be a group of people making recommendations that congress would need to pass.

I never got to the end as it just kept getting worse and worse. I only made it to where he escapes and gets caught again.

One of the people he pardoned was a judge responsible for the cash-for-kids scandal. A judge who took money to send kids to for profit prisons. I just can’t fathom that they’re someone deserving of a pardon.

Sounds like it would be easier to have a single government entity focused on fraud and Healthcare outcomes though.

The main arguement for private health insurance is that it will help better optimize how healthcare is distributed, but in a capatilistic society it seems unlikely we’d get anything other than means based optimization. However, Healthcare shouldn’t be optimized for financial status, but most likely should be optimized for optimal coverage.

Every senate/house seat the Democrata win makes it all the harder for Republicans to pass any significant legislation.

Just look at what happened with both Trump and Biden. Slim majorities in both house and senate led to a lot of legislation getting killed. Just recall how long it took the house to pick a speaker, while Republicans may have a majority it doesn’t mean they can weild it.

Pilots sacrificing their brethren to remind the world that we have redundancies for a reason. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/one-pilot-in-cockpit-staffing-shortage-faa-part-121/
