US politics are headed by the scum of the earth, both democrats and republicans. The only difference is that republicans are openly the worst, while the democrats pretend to be your friends while stabbing you in the back.

Important on "forestall" -- not every project actually fully fixed the issue! Many of them just kind of patched things to work around it, where it'll become the 2038 problem. I hope that by THEN they'd have actually addressed it internally, but...

From 1997 to the end of 1999, my dad was able to earn over 10k a month running projects to rewrite code ahead of the year 2000 to forestall the Y2K problem.
Eniko's entirely on point - it took tons of money & millions of man-hours to make that glitch "not a big deal".

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal
i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

The "Peace" president wants his Wehrmacht, damn it.
President Trump will sign an executive order on Friday renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, the name the agency held until shortly after World War II, the White House said.

When he makes up his mind, he refuses to be proven wrong on it, from what I've seen.

Just eat the cost of the drop in exports. Remember - even if the US buys 10% fewer goods, and sure that sucks, but you can still sell them somewhere else.

If your answer is to move your factory to the US, you are fired. Seriously mate? 5% of sales is not nothing, but to move your entire manufacturing base to this land of insanity? The parts now cost at least 10% more because of tariffs, the workers cost a lot more, and they complain all the time!

You own a factory in Mexico. You bring the parts in, you pay the people, and let's say 50% of your exports go to the US. Those are now more expensive for the US customer (not for you!), so sales drop. Maybe they drop 10%. Mkay - you lost 5% of your sales. Well, that sucks. So what to do about it?
