My main money thing is figuring how to find stuff on the internet. Mostly finding people in the context of trying to offer them jobs. I consult, train and offer certification via https://sourcingcertification.com/. Slightly less new here, now.

Strawrando makes a not incorrect claim that a lot of US food is grown in counties that vote Republican.
And you go off about states? California crop production isn't largely red counties?
Not like, wrong, generally, on any facts presented, but...

California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?

I would post more here, but the friction introduced by alt text often trips me up.
I try not to share, and will take back my like from, any graphics lacking alt text.
I also try to read the alt text, to make sure it isn't autogenerated. Because that is maybe worse than nothing.

The regime doesn't need justification for "martial law," or invoking the Insurrection anymore than they needed justification for demolishing the East wing.
What they DO need is time to make the transition feel gradual and inevitable and so far they have as much of it as they want.

It'll take time to fully execute, but they're setting most of us for subsistence in a company town and prison labor.
If things continue at our current trajectory we will fondly recall the exploitive gig economy.

Altman has been quite clear about his strategy.
From the 2008 crash he learned that if you bind enough of the economy to your business you can do whatever you like; government will decide the rules no longer apply.
What he's selling is unaccountabilty.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.

Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making.
He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.

Rhetorical, obvs, but for anyone who really asks this:
The parent was poor, thus irresponsible, thus morally unfit. The foster parent, by dint of volunteering to take on these unfortunate children, is obviously of good character.
And that's even before you factor in the racism!

Did you know that in America, if you don’t have the money for electricity, water, and sewage, they will take your children away and give them to someone they’re paying those things for? Make it make sense.

It really does sound like a 70s/80s spy thriller premise!
I thought this was metaphorical hyperbole but, alas, no. The Department of Energy is selling off more than 40,000 pounds of weapons-grade plutonium from the Cold War arsenal to nuclear reactor startups. All of which I’m sure will be thoroughly vetted and monitored by…their former board member.
