  1. It used to be professional/personal suicide to die on or be anywhere near Naked TeenyBopper Hill. Even Pron companies (“Oh yeah she’s totally 18 wink wink”) wouldn’t even go there.

    Now the “richest” “man” (more truthfully wealthiest utterly insecure petulant narcissist troll) is willing to go there as a “free” speech point.

    Glad the legal system in Minn is not okay with AI being used by Musk’s gang of Nazi preverts (sic) to make underage wank material.

  2. Remember when GOPers freaked out because four mercs died in Benghazi? A major movie done by Bruckheimer/Bayhem (Fuck you Jim Halpert from the Office.) And major Congressional investigations were conducted… about nothing for nothing just to bash Hils.

    No one really cares if mercs die because they took the money (although mercs don’t see it that way…)

    18 members of the military, the most sacred of cows in the gubbiment herd, die for Trump’s Fiasco and it’s small potatoes… the same media and GOPers shrug as if it’s Saturday…(which it is.)

  3. As for the rate cuts… hahahahahaha!

    A major reason why the Fed for the last 40 fucking years was obsessed with keeping inflation down is that it really affected the 1%ers and their “fixed” (quite massive) income assets and their ability to keep their heads above “water.”

    I suspect what you’re seeing is that the old moneybags 1%ers are trying to keep the inflation genie in the bottle (although Trump cracked the bottle based on how things are going) verus the tech brahs/new money (aka Trump) who think that low interest rates are going to keep the AI debt balloon going (fewer interest payments.) I only side with old money because I suspect their advisors are smarter on economics than the tech brahs and Trump family otherwise they can both eat shit for all I care.

  4. I really dislike how much I keep learning about the level of fuckery the US president can do to the economy with no oversight. Combined with the chickenshits in the republican party in Congress doing fuckall.
