KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?

Paramount has been an abysmal custodian of the Trek franchise. Discovery, SNW, and Lower Decks really needed a better home.
I'm among an apparent minority of people who loved discovery more than not, & among the majority who love SNW & felt that Lower Decks was some of the best Trek ever made & shouldn't have been cancelled, & i look at what paramount has done to these shows' season lengths, public faces, &c, & i just… 😮💨

IMO, this is one of the most under-acknowledged aspects of the freedom of speech discourse.
/2 See, a significant part of the "Free Speech Culture" movement is about saying "this person is standing up for the right to say things they agree with, therefore they are a free speech hero," even if they manifestly aren't in favor of free speech for other people they disagree with.

Now that the tech bros are closing in on eliminating major chunks of white collar and other jobs with AI, they're less interested in maintaining a population of worker drones. So, how to get rid of the "excess population"? Let's let the climate take care of that!
