Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

I wonder if the US airlines are seeing changes in bookings and if they'll adjust their schedules. www.reuters.com/world/uk/bri...

The rollout of the administration's trade policy is so haphazard, it's as if no planning or thought was done AT ALL. Trump Administration Live Updates: In Reversal, Trump Suspends Most New Tariffs on Mexico Until April 2 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Making announcements about thinly-traded cryptos is such a corrupt way to let insiders make huge profits it's shocking. Trump Faces Blowback Over Plans for Crypto Reserve www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/b...

Trump and Musk are doing a $350 billion pump and dump with your tax money. Trump’s “Crypto Reserve” is a money laundering scheme and you are being robbed blind.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u... Shocking overreach by a judge.

I have no idea where our economy is headed this year. Curious to see how reductions in Fed labor force and spending trickles through GDP and unemployment figures.

Who would have expected that defense would be a sector to fall out of investing favor in a Republican admin.

I know Altman is on it, but OpenAI and Google need to simplify. The AI product offerings are a mess. There are TOO MANY MODELS with such confusing identifiers. I predict the value will be in the front end and not the back.

All the DEI people were fired, how could all these aviation incidents be still happening! www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/u...

It’s insanity that someone would pull data and not realize they are interpreting the data fields incorrectly.

I'm all for the elimination of the penny. That's a policy I can get behind. It's so annoying to receive coins that I don't care to keep track of. I've been disappointed that businesses don't change pricing so that after tax the amount is a round number. Ideally the price marked should be post tax.

There are almost 800,000 registered drones in the US and people are SHOCKED to see many drones in the sky.

I’m traveling and the man near me is explaining his whole life to a complete stranger. Marital status, custody terms, neighborhood, home price, largest investment, who he voted for and that he just got a passport and will travel to find his next wife (Asia, Brazil, Colombia).

I'm a bit troubled by the use of the verb "hid" - framing that intentional wrong doing by the employee. Later they describe the issue as a mistake or error. This framing is of course more sympathetic to Macy's than asking why their internal controls missed the issue - balance sheet review anyone?

The Diplomat season 2 finished with a fantastic cliff hanger. A must-watch, and with Allison Janney to boot.

Season 2 of the Diplomat is out of Netflix and it's fantastic. Is this the best political thriller since Homeland, or perhaps the Russians?
