If you get a chance to rub a tiger belly, you'll be rubbing that belly for the rest of your life.

At this point, I say let them secede. Absolutely no aid to the country, but allowing people to seek asylum.

It's important to note why he did the tariffs.

It wasn't because there was an economic trade imbalance.

It wasn't because he thought they were unfair.

It was because it is essentially the only non-military weapon he has and he wanted to look powerful.

It was because he wanted to alienate our allies under the direction of Putin.

It was because he wanted to feel like a big man. He wanted to show the world he was a dictator.

It was a selfish, dick-measuring move.

Laws don't apply to the president and the police.

So say we all!

Trump almost never refers to himself as Donald or Donny.

His "sir" stories are legendary.

I'm not as sure about that. If you paid your premiums, etc. into a low yield savings account, especially when you start when you're young, I think the value proposition would be more than insurance where you have no way to control payment decisions.

Please do not read this as me saying don't get insurance. Read it as our insurance is failing to provide the value that we pay into it and need something better.

The Acquired episode goes into detail how we ended up with a private payer system and it's so infuriating. Our health system was being set up around the same time as the UKs and they show how different incentives lead to where we are.

The Acquired episode made it clear that the customer isn't the people who use the software. Their customer is the CEO and the CIOs of hospital systems.

I was listening to the Acquired episode on Epic and they touch on the severe cost overruns in our healthcare system. They make a point to share that hospitals aren't the ones making a killing. It's insurance companies.

They make a compelling argument that if you add up the total that you pay to insurance, taking into account what your employer pays, there's no way you get that much value out of your health insurance annually.

There are some brave businesses around here that have started posting signs.

"Due to tariffs, we've had to raise our prices."

"Achually, she was a journalist, not a prisoner of war. So we can fuck her shit up."

Russian propaganda, probably

Not just looking.

They are hunting to hurt people. Desperately, even.

There was a podcast episode about this. I want to say freakonomics or similar.

Iirc, the margins on mattresses are crazy. People will comparison shop, not realizing that many of the stores are subsidiaries of the same company. Stores often don't have the exact mattress (different models at different stores making pricing matching impossible) so you're down to making gut decisions.

Truth and reality have a liberal bias.

Just a reminder that a cloud provider can oopsie delete your data

The customer was fucking lucky they had their data also in AWS. many companies don't do multi cloud backups.

Have Frozen running in the foreground. I'm half tempted to install Windows on a VM and just have Frozen running on a loop.

Make Disney and Microsoft fight it out in court.

Settle down Satan.

Job like the name. Like in Arrested Development though they spell it GOB
