We love Gen Z marketing people :lol:

I think we have all have become immune to revisions.

My give a darn is gone, as they really just make up numbers at this point.

Is the economy good, no. Is it ever as bad as they make it sound, no.

AI is having zero impact in the workforce, it is just an excuse companies are using to trim fat and over-hiring.

Tariffs were not near the drama our panicans predicted.

Globalist are the only true issue right now trying to tank the economy.

Should we just pack it up and call it a day then.

I was a blood donor before TRT, so maybe that is why mine tends to run highish then. I physically feel better after a donation, but I also usually go 3-4 months between and not every 8 weeks.

Look what I did with AI

Key Takeaways

Media outlets suggest there’s internal GOP tension around AI policy and VP JD Vance’s role in shaping it.
Polling shows Americans are skeptical of AI, with only about a quarter viewing it positively.
AI is becoming a major election issue because it affects energy, jobs, education, privacy, child safety, and national security.


Vance’s Position on AI
Why he resonates with some voters:

Vance combines working-class populism with experience in Silicon Valley, which supporters say helps him understand both tech elites and everyday Americans.

His main concerns (“landmines”):

AI being used for surveillance or invading privacy
Political or ideological bias in AI systems
Tech platforms influencing elections
Sexualized AI-generated images
AI “companions” and social media–driven isolation harming young people

His goals (“roses”):

Strengthen U.S. leadership in AI
Avoid overregulation that could hinder innovation
Prevent political censorship or biased AI
Ensure AI boosts job creation and benefits working-class Americans


Policy Actions Under Trump–Vance

AI-related construction is already providing jobs for electricians, plumbers, and other trades.
Major tech companies recently signed Trump’s “Ratepayer Protection Pledge,” agreeing to pay the energy costs linked to AI data centers instead of passing them to local communities.


Bigger Picture

AI is becoming a defining issue for future Republican leadership, including Vance’s potential 2028 prospects.
Supporters argue Vance is shaping a conservative “code” for navigating AI—balancing innovation with protections for workers and families.
The moment is compared to earlier technological turning points like the Industrial Revolution.

ChatGPT. Just the quickest way, but the reports are legit. There was one study that scared all women, but it was Testosterone + Estrogen therapy combined can increase breast cancer risk.

TRT in women alone is very beneficial, just like in men. If a woman has a family history of breast cancer and/or on other hormones she needs to monitor it more closely with her doctor.

Same is true for men on TRT around prostate as they age.
