People say Trump is a criminal fool and a weakling. A very strong man told me, with tears in his eyes
I would say that he is a fool and a weakling but that would imply that his trade war was ever anything else but a scam to generate insider information so friends and family could get rich shorting stocks. (2/2)

It's true that young men have trouble relating to women IRL, and it is also true that many older men have trouble relating to other humans (Bill, Larry). The key to meeting people is to have a hobby. Meet others with the same hobby. Walking up to strangers is not the way.

Personally, I think the AI bubble will behave like the internet bubble. Like the internet, it won't go away, and it will get progressively better, but the irrational investment into the startups will pull back. A lot of people will lose their shirts in the meantime though.

Yes, property owners who actually live on the property should have much lower taxes than property owners who don't. As it stands, the difference between investors and homeowners is too low, and investors take up too much inventory, driving up costs for would-be homeowners.
We could actually lower taxes. We could fix the median home price to the median household income curve based on 1980, devalue the market(s) and offer a “bailout” to sellers who homestead. Investors take a big hit. Homesteaders make a profit. All new buyers locked to market cap. Reverse inflation.

Ever since I read Letters from the Editor — the collected letters of The New Yorker’s founding editor, Harold Ross — back when I was starting out in journalism, I’ve had this more full understanding of E.B. White, so, yeah. Not on my watch.

In Trump’s America, “struggling” billionaires need a giant tax cut, but working people don’t deserve support to keep their health care premiums from going up.
We have to keep fighting to give Americans relief from rising costs, because they’re not going to get it from Trump.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Yes, but are the "high profit" EPS based on net sales or stock manipulation? The fact that debt/FCF is so low makes me think that revenue is due to stock manipulation of a few cos.

Costs... yes, Medicare and SNAP are costs they care about. They definitely don't look at costs for ballrooms and parties.
It's so funny that the White House has decided, since Tuesday evening, that its big focus will be costs — after eight months of splattering gold paint all over the White House and after a big Roaring '20s party at the private club the president bought from a Post cereals heiress.
