Depends on who can control the media and the military. The first few are probably not going to last too long because of the shitastic economy they're going to inherit. Ukraine could get worse if they see it as necessary to prove themselves/distract from the economy or they could pull out so they can consolidate domestics affairs first.

Oh yeah, Republicans want to add medical debt back to credit reports.

That's the point. Show up deportation. Don't show up anything that points them to you=deportation.

Well they're not legally entitled to work but US residency-trained doctor have those qualifications accepted in Canada and New Zealand. At least for now.

  1. The international demand lost is well beyond what can be replaced with domestic demand. Tariffs are also going to keep prices high so even with a demand reduction that won't matter to a lot of the supply cost.

  2. The taxes are one thing but less profit and less demand=jobs being cut which has downstream effects. Any smart company doesn't expect this to be short. Being advised against travel is not something that gets turned around easily.

The bad thing for the US is that its a lot of revenue to lose. This type of thing has knockon effects. America has a very large tourist hospitality sector.

Yes, it was promised but the people thinking it a good thing, who voted for it and are implementing it do not understand how the economy works.

Paid themselves to "look into it" then expanded to one more house than before.

Teams is annoying because even when you don't use it, it prioritizes itself and opens making it take longer to get to the programs I actually need and use. This is only a few seconds on new computers but can be minutes on older ones. First world problem sure but my computer should run how I want it.

I've also never been able to get the web version to work there's no error code it just doesn't connect. IT doesn't know and the Microsoft guy just said to use the app, which goes back to the above. If it's going to be an app then leave it as an app if you have a web version then maybe it should fucking work.

Fuck the partisan aspect, RFK jr's stance on vaccines is opposite scientific consensus that has been established for centuries. Even Trump's first term didn't accept such fringe idiocy in an HHS director.

Mmm I'm interested to see how the human trials go. It's an interesting idea. Remove the sugars that block a conserved target so you generate antibodies to said conserved target. It's odd to me that this works as well against wild virus that doesn't have the sugars removed. Mechanistically, I'd assume the sugars still block that conserved target in wild virus so the antibodies targeting other less conserved parts are still doing the heavy lifting but then you wouldn't have the cross recognition...idk.

I mean you could make a game with it and argue it in court but that's expensive af. That's a bigger part of patenting for the big for corps. Whether it'd stand in court or not is less relevant than scaring people off due to costs.

F150 lightning is about 63K for the base model. It was also not available until 2022 (announced in 2021). The tesla cybertruck, 82K base, was first announced in 2019 (not manufactured til 2023).

For it to be cheaper than an average new car in 2019 it would have to be under $37,000. For it to be cheaper than an average new car now it'd have to be under 48.6K

That's a lot of thousands before the electric savings win out.
