  1. I listened to a little and he is fixing the FAA by no longer 'putting copper into the fiber' because you 'can't just do that, it doesn't work that way'. Ironically I was helping a co-worker review some inventory of our TDM aggregators, which is exactly that, bringing copper connections from customers and putting it on fiber. It's an older technology, we are trying to phase it out as well. Still, it's not going to stop planes from crashing (as Trump alluded to right after making that comment.)
  2. I was a little lost on this response to I re-read this page and realized I misread the Twitter quote I quoted. I read it as Mace's consultant was resigning because Mace wasn't loyal to Trump and Mace's consultant was now joining forces with Rand Paul. I apologize for the screw up.
  3. Doesn't most MAGA think Rand Paul is disloyal to Trump? Just a whole lotta crazy going on around Mace.
  4. Exactly, it's like the left and Science.
  5. A person critical of the border and says 'Open Border' to point out the same issues we all agree to (Except Pfife) and that means they are dishonest and probably a racist.... but I went off the rails? My guess is we are probably pretty close on immigration, but there are legitimate reasons for disagreement. Simply labeling disagreement as dishonest and racist isn't helping your cause. I don't think Civil Rights leaders, democratic politicians, and all the 'peaceful' protesters with BLM were dishonest. They saw a legitimate problem and IMO, were a bit misguided at the scale and direction of it, so while I would like to see police reform (screw getting rid of qualified immunity, but lawsuits should be paid out of their retirement funds), I vehemently disagreed with those leaders that it was an endemic, an epidemic of cops killing black people, or that policing was started so it could kill blacks and continue enslavement. My guess is most people don't believe in those comments either, especially here. My guess is that most of you were probably a bit more sympathetic to those leaders and even if you disagreed, you either participated in BLM protests or at minimum, supported them. Harsh words and phrases sound a lot more harsh when you disagree with them and softer when you don't.
  6. You are correct that we have not had open borders, anytime in any of our lives at least. The problem with the left stating it like this, is it backs up some of your side that says we have no border issues at all. For many years, and especially during Biden's years it was extremely porous, even if it wasn't 'open'. To say the border issue isn't complex would be naive and I'll be the first to blame a foreign policy decades in the making in Latin/South America which exploded when Biden happened to be President. But Biden encouraged people to seek asylum, said we could absorb 2 million people easily, and said everyone at the border 'deserves to be heard', then he became president and signed EO making it easier to seek asylum. Millions came hoping to be 1 of that 2 million figure. Millions more than the 2 million figure. It's lazy to say 'open borders' in referring to how Biden managed the border, but Biden managed it so much differently than any other president has that it seemed so much against an aspect of a border they have seen before. They may be lazy, but it seems to be a jump to call them dishonest or racist just because they have more concerns about that issue than you do.
  7. Sounds like even this is in dispute, time may be up already.
  8. I'm surprised I missed this news. Based on what I had read I believed the judge was going to throw it out based on how Halligan failed to get the indictment on all 3 and then got the foreman to sign and pursue with just 1. I'm interested in hearing legal experts talk about this. I have to believe even if this is overturned, Comey will still have the indictment issue in his back pocket.
  9. Batteries are getting better and for many when batteries become a problem, they are more apt to replace the battery as the phone itself still works well.
  10. Honestly, who cares? I have to remind my Mom all the time, if you see stats in a post, unless there is a link to an articles about that stat, ignore it. 99/100 times it can quickly be dispelled and even if it's the one time its legit, don't give it the benefit of the doubt if they can't cite a source. 33000 homeless vets, seems to be accurate based on a quick google search As for the fraud figure, Google found 1 article indicating that in the last 5 years for all of Minnesota, up to 1 billion dollars of fraud AND attempted fraud. Additionally it stated that the 1 billion dollar figure wasn't just medicaid, but medicaid was just one of the programs that added up to that figure. So honestly not even sure if that is just federal or federal and state aid in that dollar figure. Want to know what is outrageous though @Tigeraholic1, that we have 33k homeless veterans and past presidents, including some of our most recent ones like Biden and Trump haven't done much to improve that number.
  11. I've been telling you Trump is a democrat all along.
  12. https://jmail.world/ Enjoy! Props to whoever put this together.
  13. We're a big company, so while we do have a large acquisition going on right now, this specifically was done for cost cutting purposes only. We were specifically told none of these jobs were lost to AI, simply we needed to get leaner and meaner.
  14. My company was hit with layoffs today. My team escaped any hit, but the news is reporting about 17% of our non-union workforce was affected. We knew it was coming and read that October had more companies submit WARN notices in a month since 2003. I re-balanced my 401k to be heavier on the bond side once I got off of my 'all clear' meeting. I think the AI bubble will keep the stock market up for a bit still, but you can't outrun unemployment and I feel like that's going to hit before the AI bubble does.
  15. Meanwhile Rick Scott is probably dining with Trump in Mar a Lago tonight laughing with Trump that this congresswomen probably should go to jail for being so small time and only stealing 5 million from the coffers.
