I know enough code to know I suck at programming and it isn't my profession. To see kids who know even less and think they are great at it followed by managers and ceos who embraced "vibe programming" Oh boy... So many places are gonna have their spines broken by Visa for PCI violations.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

If there were 20 goons with AR-15s slung around their necks at one state capitol when Biden was president it would be the above the fold headline. There were over 1,400 separate protests and millions of people in the streets yesterday. @nytimes.com gave it a tiny square below the fold. Pathetic.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

I've learned over the years that anyone and I mean ANYONE that's more concerned about people playing the system for disability benefits. Than those on disability currently suffering and not receiving enough support. Does not truly care about disabled people.
