This is decades old policy. Contingency plans for every crazy unlikely scenario you can dream up

Any non-US citizen who has this much discretionary money to spend on Trump's dumbass card, already has the resources and network to become a US citizen already if they want

Possibly because he's not generally liked, and because he rarely is competitive in a given race?

Lmao he did not "speak like an authoritarian", he IS an authoritarian

What's with all these crayon memes?

Sure smells like it. Paper trail

I mean... Is that not reasoning, I guess? It's what my brain does-- recognizes patterns and makes split second decisions.

Oh look the rich oligarchs are fighting now

Bloodline. It was cut short, I think. They had to rewrite and compress the ending. Damn that shit was good

I back into my driveway. Way I see it, I either back in or back out. So what's the difference

Seen this like 10 years ago lol

It sounds like he thinks the word "tariff" just means "payment". Then he follows that with "[whoever he thinks should make the payment]". Tariff by Apple, Tariff by China, etc. Honestly. I don't know how else you can make it make sense.

"This needs a majority of other kids to also no have smartphone."

100% agree, that's the whole point of the organization and other orgs like it. They founded it to raise awareness and to get families to support each other. A group mindset against phones in childhood and early adolescence, which I agree is much more difficult if you're the only one without one.

Doesn't directly answer your question but relevant:

https://www.waituntil8th.org/

"The Wait Until 8th pledge empowers parents to rally together to delay giving children a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade. Let’s protect the elementary and middle school years from the distractions and the dangers of a smartphone. Banding together helps decrease the pressure to have a phone at an early age. Ten years old is the average age children get their first smartphone. You can change this!

Smartphones are distracting and potentially dangerous for children yet are widespread in elementary and middle school because of unrealistic social pressure and expectations to have one.

These devices are quickly changing childhood for children. Playing outdoors, spending time with friends, reading books and hanging out with family is happening a lot less to make room for hours of snap chatting, instagramming, and catching up on YouTube.

Parents feel powerless in this uphill battle and need community support to help delay the ever-evolving presence of the smartphone in the classroom, social arena and family dinner table. Link arms with other parents to wait until at least the end of eighth grade for a smartphone!"

Depends on the prompt, the model, the parameters, which DCs, time of day, location in the world, and other factors. They answer the question but there's so many variables that can affect footprint (and big hyperscalers do not release this data so you have to under a lot)

Fuck your feelings
