My guess is that none of that is the point. The point is likely that he somehow manages to easily funnel all this tariff income to be under his control to be spent on what he wants or redirected to his personal wealth. Both its source and where it is 'promised' to be spent are immaterial.

It looks as though, ironically, population density is largely inversely correlated with how dense the population is.

I don't have that problem with Perplexity. I find it to be very good as a summarizing search engine and it never acts chummy like ChatGPT. You may find it worth a try.

(Don't Fear) The Reaper was just on the radio, and it's always a disappointment now straining for the whole song to hear the cowbell that isn't there. They really need to rerelease it with strong cowbell in the mix.

Just turn off Javascript temporarily and load up the page. It loads the whole article but then hides it, so without javascript you will see it all.

Something I found interesting about reading this thread is that it made me wonder how many people think of ChatGPT as primarily a tool for writing things for you
I use ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini possibly 100+ times a day and NONE of those uses are to produce writing that I then share with other people

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in βassistingβ local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

If he is still describing all of Trump's actions as failures then he hasn't yet shifted his perspective to realize for which agenda they are all resounding successes. He's not a failure at all for those whose goal is the disintegration of American society and its world power and trustworthiness.

If our leadership really captures the opportunity here - we have the chance to truly lead in βwhatβs nextβ while the US is distracted trying to piece their government and supply chain back together.

There is a good video of the landing. Came down hard on the rear wheels, had rolled a bit to the right, looks like the right gear collapsed and the ensuing flameout accelerated the roll.

While I agree that the logistics of almost realtime targeted advertising beyond reasonable reach, I do feel there is some use of recent transient conversation context used for searches on the same device. I've been noticing this for at least 10 years now: ashleyit.com/blogs/brenta...

What I took from this story is that they *spent* huge amounts of money into the US economy, supporting local businesses and people. It wasn't just lit on fire. Reminds me of the millions spent *in* the US to manufacture and send supplies to other countries and people think all the $ left the country
