Not a direct answer and this video is out of date with current events, but the background on the current state of El Salvador is worth knowing: https://youtu.be/WtkI-QAgM6w

The concept of putting condiments into sandwiches so that they're not dry AF hasn't made it to large parts of Europe.

"national security". On Facebook. Okay guys. A better title would be "Zuck offered to completely legally sell their data (yes it's their's , read the ToS) to China in a completely legal bid to gain entry into China. It's not even alleged that he broke any laws.

The real problem is that the US doesn't have any digital data privacy laws, so ToSs for these services can contain whatever the host wants, and they can do whatever they want with the data. But that will never happen.

Those bananas look like they could be alcoholic at this point.

When you have government officials saying they want to default on the "risk free" bonds it undermines markets in a completely unprecedented way.

Shockingly stupid.

That last statement accurately describes the constituents of those government officials and large swathes if the American electorate. The fact that it's politically viable to muse about these things is so fucking idiotic . So many Americans owe their safe and prosperous lives to things of which they are completely ignorant.

It still amazes me that all of those investors and endorsers were so dazzled by her sales pitch that nobody bothered to actually get confirmation of any of the technical details. They just believed...that's it.

Someone somewhere is already asking whether a CEO's job can be done by AI.

Private equity is salivating over the idea of running his carefully built brand into the groundmaximizing value extraction from steam.

The current meta here is that things like brand loyalty and reputation are not really worth preserving, and are only as good as whatever short-term gains you can squeeze out of them.

I wonder if someone with gif skills can make one of the final scene in that movie where Bond is standing there waiting for the missiles to hit and one missile is tariffs , another is the next pandemic, and another is a breakdown of the geopolitical world order.

I wish I had the skill but I don't.

Even if you're right this movement is far from critical mass yet. I'm thinking at least one month will have to pass before there is enough pressure for Congress to even vote on taking back the tariff power .

A lot of this could be fixed by reforming the senate which is a big part of why that will never happen.

This is a company that is now immune to any federal investigation. Worth keeping that in mind when going over their numbers.

None of the supporters of this are going to read any of that.

Only if you like being poor.

People in general are savvy enough to know this. At least they used to be.

About a third of people aren't. They're so disengaged they don't bother examining things enough to see through it. They just see both sides accusing each other of the same thing, so in their minds it's awash - the issue no longer matters to them and the guilty party pays no price.

It's a blunt instrument but it works reliably.

They can just declare that the passage of time has stopped, like they did for the national security exemption allowed by for the tariffs.

10 whole minutes? Damn that's persistence. He's the John Wick of fucking furniture.

Short the dip .

They'll have it lobotomized in a few days.

Okay but have you ever tried just throwing genAI at the problem and not caring about the consequences?
