There is no mathematical way to get out of the debt the U.S. has accrued.
Tariffs won’t work.
Taxing the rich won’t work.
Consumption taxes (aka V.A.T.) won’t work.
This all leads to a very dire forecast.
There’s no mathematical out based on the legacy approaches.

The only thing Elon proved with this little stunt of his was that he holds many cards and that his ego - now the size of the Large Magellanic Cloud - is not going to be contained.

There's a Russian disinformation network operating from Mastodon to push content into BlueSky, it's a few hundred active accounts (they also exist directly on BlueSky natively too).
It probably costs more to run than the value it provides to whoever runs it, tbh.

Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:
‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments
Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."
