Huge. I wish we properly funded DOGE


They should create DOGE divisions within each department of the Executive Branch. Department of Commerce, Labor, HHS, DOJ, DOD, etc. Fund the DOGE efforts through the funding that goes to each department and let the authorization to fund the DOGE employees in each department come from the Cabinet members.
People need to stop calling everything treason. It often cheapens what is otherwise a valid argument.
Schadenfreude is a horrible thing. It’s not productive at all, and is instead pretty destructive, even for the person who enjoys making someone else miserable.

Bring change through a positive light. Negativity won’t make things positive.
Rubio is a natural statesman. He doesn't have to worry about politics as much in this role. It lets him be more direct in what he says and what he does.

Which RSS readers are good today? I haven't used one in a while. :cheers:
Just kicking the tires, I used Prompt Cowboy to make a prompt for Copilot to review a deal and provide recommendations on next steps. Haven't really used it much but it's looking like it might be useful in preliminary deal reviews.
Every state should follow suit with state funding and purging voter rolls.
I think it's harming the mental health of adults as well.

Assuming the lawsuits are about the algorithm, the challenge is, how do you make a company liable for someone's self control?

The apps and algorithms have been demonstrated to be addictive based on brain chemistry. How do you enforce the equivalent of a drinking age on social media when it's just as addictive, if not more?

Or maybe to approach the subject from a different angle, how does a shepherd who exegetes the Word of God avoid speaking to "political" issues?


He doesn’t avoid them. In a world where the 24/7 news cycle has become a form of religion, he only discusses things worth mentioning.
Ours sticks to Scripture and doesn't get into politics unless something happening in the world directly affects our church. If it does, he offers a direct Scriptural interpretation that he follows, but he does so without intentionally offending others. It's pretty solid.

re: I now believe in a wealth tax

I disagree. A wealth tax is pure theft, whether I agree with the owner or not.

We do it? I mean the border is closed. ICE is getting illegals out, stock market record highs, inflation down, gas down, mortgage rates down, trannies out of women's sports, DEI gone, GNP up, etc. I could keep going now tell what democrats have done recently?


The right gets angry at the Left for being outraged. It’s outrage over outrage. It’s the business model for cable news.
quote:

Other than outrage what have they done?


Outrage is the point. Both parties do it. One gets worked up and the other gets mad because the other party is upset.

Outrage and anger sell. The PACs are cashing in. Media outlets are getting views and clicks. The algorithms are getting engagement.

If society could take a step back and stop feeding the outrage, we'd all be better off.

But if I say I think that Muslims who are 100% genetically the same as them are terrible then I’m racist?


This argument would be conflating race and religion. Two different things.

It won't be long now and we are going to have our true history told. It is sorely needed too.


I think AI has the power to decipher, but true history would require the truth being on those tablets to begin with.
These accounts are a great idea except for the $1,000 government funding.
