You ever think about how there was only 1 to 2 months between the actual wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Gordon Lightfoot recording his song.

And how weird and slightly deranged it would be if someone had dropped a banger about a contemporary disaster on its heels.

The frantic emptiness of Musk's response to JCO says a lot about tech bros' inability to understand why people don't want AI art, music, or literature
he has nothing to say about these, either

this is how any normal person would assume it works tbh, you would expect that keeping a country running would be more important than the specific representatives doing the job
Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?

Federal workers aren’t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.

my understanding of the new republican healthcare plan is that instead of buying insurance for x dollars, the government will give you y dollars to buy insurance for x+y dollars
