Fuck the New York Times for the glowing headline.

Mfer can't even deliver the $25k Tesla. You think he's going to deliver the most powerful AI? Lol. I got some snake oil to sell you.

I’m putting away a sizable nest egg for my daughter in the hopes that she’s going to use it to get out of this god forsaken place when she’s old enough.

You're damn right pornhub pulled out.

Pritzker has been awesome in IL. He would be an amazing president. Probably the most progressive of anyone in that list.

Who cares. This isn't about Biden. This is about what's good for the country. JFC. These people have completely lost any semblance of doing things for the public good.

She's Max Boot's wife. Lol!

Caveat. The private companies like nelnet and others are servicing the loans on behalf of the government but the loans are government backed.

I would think tax law could make it completely untenable to own residential properties as rentals and give federal tax breaks to developers that build affordable housing? I’m sure there could also be federal grants to cities for easing zoning restrictions. Not sure how much of this is possible.

It's the Elon Musk narrative making we've been seeing over and over again. It's hype. They're about to run out of input data because they've sucked up everything they could. The Internet is being fed a bunch of bad results that come from LLM produced output which enshittifies the Internet further. These companies are burning cash and grid energy while the world burns. Unless there's a spectacular breakthrough, this can't keep going on much longer.

They should. It will be telling to see how the U.S. and the U.K. respond. We all know what it’s going to be. And the dichotomy between the response on Israel/Gaza and Ukraine/Russia.

There's a British medical journal called lancet that estimates the deaths at 186,000. Remember. The death counts stopped changing much in like February or March because Israel destroyed the Gaza Health ministry which is responsible reporting.
