Who is helped by "No tax on tips"? The wait staff will see their other benefits erode as employers no longer need to do things like free meals to keep people. The federal govt will have less tax. Who ultimately benefits? The people rich enough to eat out because they can pay less.

Anything from China with an internet connection should be either discarded or permanently disconnected from the internet. The Chinese "Communists" will use all the network devices they supplied to overwhelm and disrupt the internet in any country that upsets them. Do it now, whilst it's still easy.

What are women good at? One measure is to consider where the richest of them made their money. The answers seem to be: 1. Inheritance from their father, 2. Divorce settlement, and 3. As entertainers of some kind. There are of course a _few_ exceptions who made money from business.

Trumps skills as a businessman are very apparent now he is President. His ability to monetise the Presidency and the gullibility of his cult members into money is without parallel in history of the United States. I am sorry that he lacks the skills to be a good, competent, President for America.

Jesus has a message for Trump: "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?" His rich supporters should learn this too, before it's too late.

And this is why I hate feminism. At feminisms heart is not a cry for justice, but a desire to advantage women in every regard because they don't care for men except as providers.

Many men are not pursuing women any more. There are many reasons for this, including women having unrealistic expectations and the cost of divorce, but also because there are more alternatives- computer games, porn, OnlyFans, chatbot AI girlfriends, and now realistic sex dolls. This will end badly.

For all those pushing for "clean coal" and "drill, baby drill"... renewables are cheaper. The people making the decisions are not building fossil fuelled power stations any more, knowing it will take 8 years to commission one, long after Trump, and when renewables will undercut them even more!

The Chinese Communist Party does not recognise the rule of law. If they don't like someone, they can destroy their life just because they want to, in any way they desire. Republicans oppose China because of it. Republicans support Trump who wants the same power. Make that make sense please!

China is making excellent progress on installing renewable energy. Yes, they are still licencing coal fired power stations, but much of their growth in power generation comes from wind and solar. I believe that China's push for renewables is to also enable them to invade Taiwan (oil dependency).

No number produced by China can be trusted. Population, GDP, economic growth, inflation etc. are all "adjusted" for political purposes and do not reflect the reality. Some, like population and GDP became more and more overstated due to the compounding of annual lies on their growth.

Don't buy any Chinese products that connect to the internet. Not only do you run the risk of being spied upon, but if the CCP attacked Taiwan, your equipment might stop working properly and become part of an attack on critical national infrastructure: Water, power, internet, all turned off! Avoid!!

A question for feminists: What proportion of the first dates you have been on did you pay for? My first problem with feminism is how unjust most feminists are. They demand equality, but only when it benefits them. Their justice seems highly selective, and selective justice is not just.

The US needs to do a whole lot better with finding good candidates for office. The current mechanism is clearly very broken.

Poverty is destroying our society. Especially structural things that ultimately benefit the rich at the expense of the bottom 70%. What good is becoming a billionaire if society did not produce enough children to be employees? Societal collapse will be harsh on even the rich. You can't eat money!

The support by democracies of Ukraine's defence against Russia is so weak that other players, like Iran, North Korea and China are getting involved. This is strategically stupid for democracies worldwide. Appeasement just results in more war. If Russia does not crumble soon, this will escalate.
