I’ll watch one video of someone I like. Randomly another video starts playing right after, before I have a chance to click away, my feed degenerates into some crazy slop.

It’s getting bad. Almost unwatchable now. Google is screwed.

We heard the same about Japan.
Soon we’ll be hearing about how Nigeria is spending oil money and growing its manufacturing.
Wait till the U.S. finds out about Brazil and its ability to manufacturer.
When the war is over between Ukraine and Russia, you’ll have two more countries restarting non-military production.
South Africa is picking up everyday.
If Europe ever manages to dig a tunnel between Spain and Morocco the Iberian peninsula and N.Africa would transform.

That’s a nice looking house. I hope that it doesn’t get torn down. We can build density, and keep cool old houses like this. It’s not one or the other.

Inspections were cancelled because it was shown that they actually led to more accidents. A small percentage of the time mechanics didn’t tighten bolts, back on correctly, after removing a wheel to inspect brake pads. The vast majority of accidents are caused by speeding, not because a wheel brakes free and the car swerved.

The day actual doesn’t start at midnight. Officially the astronomical day starts at noon, when the sun is highest in the sky. This is exactly at opposite side, of the earth, of Meridian 0^ in Greenwich. So it is 12 midnight in Greenwich, and exactly 12 noon on the other side of the world. Midnight is the start of our what we consider a ‘day’, and high noon is what is traditional considered the start of the astronomical day.

The laws state that regular cars need to meet many regulations, while trucks are exempt from them. So trucks got larger. And without competition from foreign trucks, they got even larger.

Look at who they asked to return, such as air-traffic-controllers. Some fights they are losing.

Any important department will them to fuck off with the A.I., but Medicare patients will be stuck with it. It’s a slow moving disaster that any average person sees coming.

Roads that are too big, house that are too spread out.

Police because stores refuse to hire their own security and offload it to onto your property tax.

Sewers because dumb people are too stupid to compost properly, and now we need chemicals on farm fields since the traditional method of composting is dead.

Garbage trucks and landfills because companies sell you wrappers and containers that outlive the products and are made from toxic waste.

You have to think more like Trump, LOL. The rich don’t pay any taxes through the use of loopholes. Why should you. Slum lords should be forced to pay taxes, not working class schmo that needs a roof over their heads. Tax the slum lords.

Top down education doesn’t work, that’s how we get stuck with schools that have massive IT budgets with little to show for them. Most teachers don’t use anything beyond spreadsheets and Youtube.
I don’t think that there is an easy fix.
I’d like to think local autonomy would help, so small communities could design their own curriculum, but I’m too much of a pessimist and see such experiments failing quickly because of corruption and incompetence.

The other issue is, nobody is trying to take on Facebook. Not really anything in the FLOSS community like it.

Trump is putting a tariff on Canada and Mexico to pay for his up coming tax cuts. He’s not smart enough to see that this won’t work and will cause a disaster.

Trump just killed the N. American auto industry. You can’t remake all the supply chain lines overnight. Some parts cross the border multiple times, meaning way more than a 25% tariff in the end. Asian car companies are going to take over.

No one wants American trucks, you can’t export them to Asia, Africa or Europe. Americans barely want American trucks.

Now not even Canada or Mexico will buy American trucks. Canada and Mexico will double down on buying from Asia. There goes America’s final market for its trucks.

While American factories try to rejig everything in the production line and supply chain, Asia car companies will step in to fill the void. Another blow to American manufacturing.

The stupidity of this election was off an scale. Shows how much dumb propaganda got spewed through X, Facebook, etc.

Someone not brave enough to take a COVID-19 shot, is the type of coward that will run away in a battle. This significantly weakens America.

Don’t you worry, this will also be retroactive! People will have their American citizenship taken away.

America’s Doge!!! What are the odds he can now stay with his new agency, or that the agency will even exist now?
