What is the point of doing original work if it can be sucked into AI models and used by anyone. This smells badly.

Will tariffs encourage more domestic US production? In theory, tariffs increase the cost of imported goods. If you already have spare production capacity, the tariff might be sufficient to be an advantage. But no one is going to invest in new factories; the US leadership is too unstable.

I really hope that world countries stick together and create a cohesive response to the trump tariffs. Stand firm and stand together.

Can someone explain to me why, with the availability of streaming and other technology, it might be considered unconstitutional for a proxy or remote voting. Why are accommodations not required as they are for any branch of employment? I'm sorry but I just don't understand.

Does Fox News script their guests. Every interview seems to have as the second sentence, some antagonistic to the Biden administration. Is it not possible to put forward a viewpoint without first condemning someone else? Hate seems to be surpassing sex as the currency that sells.

The ignorant Pate Hegseth when asked about Canada's retaliatory tariffs suggested that it was Canada's fault. He said "They don't have the cards". They have better marbles though. And having pissed off every other nation, the world is against the US. How's that deck of cards looking now?

How is your grocery bill? Must have dropped by now surely?

@ukgovernment.bsky.social withe world in turmoil, now is not the time to abandon British Steel. We're going to need those blast furnaces someday.

How does this 'petition' fool anyone? Musk is buying votes to forward his own agenda. I

Marjorie Taylor Greene to a British BskyB reporter: “We don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why don’t you go back to your country where you have a major migrant problem?” I would say to Marjorie that she demeans herself by not even showing any common curtesy.

We hear this from Trump very frequently: "I don't know anything about that (insert subject of the day)" The whole Whitehouse and cabinet staff are there just to keep him informed. If they are not doing that, then perhaps they should be fired.

How is it legal for Elon Musk to pay people for signatures to sign a petition to protest Judges who are upholding the Law? How it is legal that he can contribute to members of Congress who are calling for judicial impeachment. Those members of congress now represent Musk and not their constituents

I think the US should have strict limits on political campaign expenditure as in the UK. I can't help but think election outcomes are determined by the richest contributors www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/el...

If the US is deporting people considered to be a threat to National Security, then perhaps Trump should be deported for the same reason. Except I don't know a country other than Russia which would take him.

I don't understand my Mother-in-law. She's staunch republican and loves Trump. She lives in our house rent free. She has an inherited nest egg which depreciated from the stick market change. She is on social security. Her son has health issues and is supported by Social security. But Trump is Great!

"House Dems Introduce Bill to Block Trump from Invading Canada, Panama and Greenland" But not expected to pass. 1. Its frightening that someone feels the need to create such a resolution. 2. Why wouldn't republicans support the resolution? does that mean they are in favour of invading allies?

I witness so much hatred, anger, despair and vitriol in the US at the moment that I can't help feeling anxious. So I'm watching Jeff Lynn's ELO - Wembly or bust! So many people just having fun and enjoying all the songs. I can forget about the other things for a short while.

Elon Musk Claims Organization Funded by George Soros Is Responsible for Tesla Protests Probably not true, but what if it was? He funded Trump's campaign of devastation.
