Look, what don't you people understand about how we have to out-compete China but also need to keep making concessions to them to maintain the illusion of a comprehensive bargain between U.S. and PRC leaders?

President Donald Trump's approval rating edged up to 41% in the past week as Republicans warmed to his handling of the cost of living, a sign the administration's new focus on affordability might be supporting his popularity, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. reut.rs/48J0wuA

“You cannot make authoritarian leaders the center of your narrative,” ... “You have to make the people the center of your narrative, and you have to be passionate about it.”
“These political parties, they’re like shipwrecks: metal structures, they’re dead. Street protests, youth politics come into them like shoaling fish, to turn them into living reefs.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you haven't volunteered before: weather and hours should be better Wed-Fri. But if you're up for it, see you at 3p!

Reminding everyone that the more *accurate* a company can promise its data harvesting is, the more $$$ they can sell or rent that data for. That was always the game with Facebook. Same game, new profiteer angle.
