It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

This was probably the grift of the century. Not enough people asked why Trump never made it official, non-government officials occupying the White House unchecked
On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid.

So YES this has been a huge success.

It’s terrifying how much kids are exposed to AI with apparently zero concern from anyone about how it impacts their developing brains.

Did we learn nothing from social media and stuff like Roblox?!
“It’s like you’re sitting inside the four walls of your home, and someone is victimizing your child in the next room."

A rising number of children are using AI companions regularly. Here's the story of one 11-year-old girl's experience with a generative AI chatbot. Gift link:

Her daughter was unraveling, and she didn’t know why. Then she found the AI chat logs.
A majority of teens are interacting with AI companions, and many of their parents have no idea.
