Shouldn't "ESPN+" really be called "ESPN-minus"? Or "ESPN Zero"? Or "Stuff-no-one-would-pay-for-if-we-were-more-honest"?

Verizon technical support is completely useless, unless your router is unplugged. They might be able to help you fix that after 10 or 15 minutes on the phone with their bot!

I'm advocating for a few US states (crucially, Illinois) to become the 11th+ provinces of Canada.

Despite the primacy of raising revenue as a principle of operating a business, it is notable that the "businessmen" who weigh in on government largely obsess with reducing it.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

Shame that a skilled, honest public servant cannot come up with a million dollar donation. Damn shame.
Even people who consider Lighthizer a malign influence agree that he's very knowledgeable, with no known personal scandals. This disqualifies him for a major role in the Trump kakistocracy, which requires pure lackeys. Apparently he didn't realize that. Sad. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
How Robert Lighthizer Got Shut Out of Trump’s Cabinet
Donald Trump’s former trade chief was hoping to run Treasury or the Commerce Department, but his prospects faded as other candidates emerged.

The US borrows hundreds of billions of dollars from foreign countries each year. Imagine having to repay those loans in Yen, Euro... or Yuan.
It goes without saying that this is stupid, and I wonder what set it off. Was there a segment on Fox News? But I thought it might be worth a thread explaining what Trump (and, to be fair, some other international leaders) don't get about international money 1/

I have seen this same bad take from a bunch of different sources now, and I'm wondering whom I need to block to get out of this disinformation spam loop.

For my sins, I read Jeff Bezos’s self-serving op-ed, and found it mostly pretty ridiculous. But I do want to point out that Bezos himself does not adopt Will Lewis’s lie that killing the presidential endorsement wasn’t Jeff Bezos’ decision. I don’t see how Lewis can stay after that.
