On the plus side, if there is one, after this, they will never be able to say tax cuts for the rich benefit everyone because everyone except the rich is going to suffer massively. Trickle down my ass. The “job creators” now have no excuses to continue laying off staff.

Sure, what was the import tariff on eggs again?

Whether Trump likes it or not, EVs are happening and it’s because of every other government. So he’s trying now to stop the snow ball which is now half way down the hill and 10 times the size. BMW, VW, Mercedes, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, etc etc aren’t going to stop the transition. All that will happen is the US will be left behind. The rest of the world will be weaning off oil and the US will be left with no option eventually, but will not be a major player in the tech because of these anti EV policies. Or are they simply viewed as anti tesla as tesla is already established???

“choice”?!!!

AI: Dave, turn right and walk across the bridge.

Dave : But AI, there is no bridge

AI: I am 99% sure based on 99 billion images that there should be a bridge

Dave: ok , you’re the smart one

Dave: aaaargh . . . .

Bracing for “Wait, I didn’t think you meant me?!?!?”

I think the only thing you can do is remind her to be careful with her heart, and be really honest with herself about what she wants. I.e. Does she want him, or her, or does she want them both because there is twice the potential to be hurt when there are twice the number of partners.

Anything more than that will risk alienation.

Anything which drives nails into the xitter coffin is a good thing as far as I’m concerned. Bluesky may not tick many people’s boxes here on lemmy, but this migration shows that lots of people wanted to leave xitter but didn’t see an option. Threads clearly didn’t attract them, likely due to the owner. I hope it nothing else, Bluesky is a less toxic place and xitter and musk become less relevant. In the long run Bluesky may end up being another head of the hydra , but for now, it’s not, and it may get people used to the idea of federation.

Where are all the passionate leftist politicians.

“We will fix the roads”

“We will find public services better like the police, fire departments and medicare so you never have to worry if help is coming in your hour of need”

“We will ensure everyone has access to healthcare whether rich or poor, insured or not so you never need to worry about losing your job and your health cover at the same time.”

“We will invest in public transport to better connect our rural communities to make it easier to get well paying jobs even if you don’t live in metropolis”

"we will invest in green energy and transport and retrain workers from the fossil fuel industry to improve the quality of the air you breathe, without putting coal and oil workers out in the cold“

“We will pay for this by taxing corporations who have for too long got away with paying lower tax rates than you, all while making record profits and creating billionaires like Bezos and Musk who use their immense power to convince you that what is good for you is actually bad for you.”

Vote for Trump, defeat demons.

Pick one

“Let me tell you why I claim to support trump.”

The real reasons would never be spoken aloud.

And therein lies the crux of the matter. People like him know they can get away with it because good people will do good things and allow him to make his stand without suffering any consequences for it. I’m not really suggesting those voters should suffer the consequences of his actions , but he certainly wouldn’t be in office long if they did

It’s called having your cake and eating it too.

He gets to claim he is against government spending but also protects his voters with relief money and he can vote against the funding because he knows it will very likely pass. If there is no disaster he can claim to be fiscally responsible, and if there is one, he can say that the voters wanted it so they should get it.

I say funds like this should be assigned according to a priority based on these votes. His district would get the scraps and leftovers if anything and they could squarely blame him for it. It would stop these guys paying politics with things that directly impact their voters lives or get voted out.

Ok so can we start with a really rough day of policing election fraud, inciting insurrection, business fraud, not paying suppliers, sexual assault, stealing classified government documents, and shitting your pants in public. Then maybe the word will get out and we won’t have to go further.

… Ok maybe not the last one. That’s just unfair.

Maybe if they weren’t destabilising the world, their citizens might feel happier about bringing children into it.
