The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

There are thousands of things like this in tech. Why is search bad in Gmail. Why does Bluetooth suck. Why are most streaming apps bad. Why is file transfer still annoying. Every day it feels like I've got random issues with tech stuff while these companies sink billions into AI
if microsoft just made outlook search not suck they'd see triple the productivity gains of any AI integration

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

one forgotten reason about why newsom blows ass is that time he vetoed a *unanimous* vote in the legislature that would've capped copays for insulin at $35. stated reason was because CA was going to start making its own insulin.
that veto was in 2023. CA still ain't making its own insulin.

When people ask “why is there famine in Gaza now?”
Here’s why:
•Gaza’s farmland has been bulldozed.
•Fishermen are shot at sea.
•Bakeries are bombed.
•Aid trucks are blocked.
•Water systems destroyed.
•Relief workers assassinated.
This isn’t new, it’s escalated.

I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.
Still, more than 7-in-10 U.S. adults have been a victim of an online scam or attack like credit card fraud, ransomware or online shopping scams. www.pewresearch.org/...
Online Scams and Attacks in America Today
73% of U.S. adults have experienced some kind of online scam or attack, and these are common across age groups. Most get scam calls, texts and emails at least weekly.
