January job numbers were below replacement level, so I'm going to go with no.

Also he's trying to fire almost as many people as lost their jobs during the pandemic.

Don't worry, they have way more accurate systems in place today, without having to hire outside help.

It's accounting, there shouldn't be any fucking AI in accounting.

Surprised they aren't looking to ship more off to Europe too. It would support Europe getting off Russian oil, and diversify Canadian trading partners.

Voting rights no, but maybe that should be replaced by appointment after major head injuries. I'd also like to see an age limit on candidates tied to SS retirement age.

Look, if you can't handle some gallows humor, the next four years are going to get really bad.

He already said he left orders to blow up Iran, so I could easily see Israel hiring a half dozen Iranians and giving them some RPGs.

It depends on the funding of the aggressor. A lone dude isn't going to have a chance. A national asset would have access to the means to take him out, but the risk is the CIA might find out and blow their cover.

He said if he gets assassinated he left orders to obliterate Iran. I'm still looking for the downside, but so far it looks like a great deal.

That's by design, they stay silent and don't take the polling hit.

I still think Ilhan should sue Musk for slander. At least 100mil in damages.

The last president to do a mass firing at the CIA was Carter. Hopefully this turns out just as well for Trump.

 

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

 

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
