Wait is there a federated podcast app? In what way would that be different than any other?

The default if Congress can't pass legislation should be that legislation doesn't happen.

I was fine with like 80% of Obama and like 60% of Clinton's actual policies while enjoying the economy that I don't credit him for. But then W Bush was like a 10% and Trump 1 maybe 10% (Warp Speed, passing the vast majority of Covid stimulus, ironically all the stuff he's against now) and I'm batting zero so far on Trump 2 but I assume at some point he'll do something I agree with.

I try to keep a sense of perspective, every president I disagree with seems to be the worst president ever at the time.

I really want to say Bush's useless Trillion dollar wars are worse than this.

But it's close and we have 3.5 more years of this.

I don't have a ton of "the court is wrong" opinions, but Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution flatly gives Congress the responsibility of regulating trade and imposing tariffs. The President just doesn't (shouldn't) have the authority to change rates. The executive needs to execute the will of the Legislative branch.

This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don't care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.

Haha OK op thinking it was a scam is not racist, calling it "a core value in their society" is a bit racist.

If you need 50% more person-hours, hire 50% more people.

I want to know what the state of the art AI sex robot is right now. Because they have those realistic-ish sex dolls, and some pretty advanced LLMs that can chat conversationally, and longer term memory is starting to get into the LLM repertoire so your bot can remember things about you and reference them later.

I feel like we're 3-5 years away from a high end AI prostitute startup becoming huge.
