Save the prayers. You were balls-deep in someone else’s wife while your own was pregnant. Jesus ain’t your PR team.

I loved that though exercise. Add in 5-7 years if they need to build any factories.
Unless Trump annexes Taiwan as the 53rd state, there's no way of getting past the tariffs on silicon parts. I'm guess that Beijing would be somewhat less than OK with that happening.

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it?

I think I'm done with being a customer for Enterprise. I needed a one-way rental (2 hour drive) to an airport. After calling and booking over the phone I booked my flight and then looked at the email. He swapped the start and destination locations. I called back, no cars are available.

I'm on the fence about cancelling my subscription. What Bezos did is horrible, but I don't read the WaPo for the opinions, I read it for the articles. Same as for the NY Times.
SCOOP: WaPo Opinion editor David Shipley is out. Jeff Bezos emails staff about a change to Post Opinions: "We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets."

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Musk's statement is as valid as stating a word document will weigh more if you use larger font sizes over smaller ones.
One of Musk's defining qualities is that he is a conspiracy theorist when it comes to government. He will see some ambiguous information or be presented with an easily debunked tale and he immediately believes the worst.
