Like many, I was unaware of this connection between the budget and Medicare.

I guess it is only fair that seniors as well as younger people should pay for the tax cut for the wealthy.

I read an article on Europeans boycotting U.S. products as a result of the actions of the Orange creature. Although American, I don't object. However, isn't EU also trying to stop taking Russian gas? Seems to lead to taking U.S. gas doesn't it?

I am sure that the other shareholders in Tesla are not all angels, but be aware that there is a lot of collateral damage in going after Tesla stockholders as well as car buyers who bought their cars when it was a pro-climate (if expensive and showy) thing to do. Musk owns 20% of Tesla.

It appears the German election went slightly better than polls predicted a few weeks ago. In particular the pro Musk/Vance AfD is down from what the polls predicted before they got help from Musk and Vance. Die Linke are doing much better

I actually have a few (very few) friends who voted for Trump. Some of them are claiming that the job cuts are necessary to eliminate government waste. I am sure that some proper cuts are being made, if only accidentally. But not many. www.science.org/content/arti...
