  • CNN is MAGA now, so you are only going to be seeing the best case scenarios going forward. If they are pushing 2.8% as good, you know they are just polishing the MAGA Turd.

    You can’t believe ANYTHING this government says. Crime is WAY down? Don’t believe it. Inflation isn’t so bad? Don’t believe it. Jobs numbers are up? Don’t believe it.

    MAGA is never going to release anything that makes them look bad. They’ll even game stuff that makes them look good, just to look like the bestest there’s ever been!


  • Learning to cook for yourself is helpful, and that means not just avoiding eating out, but avoiding the purchase of prepared foods.

    For instance: Instead of buying a jar of Spaghetti sauce, get a large can of crushed tomatoes, add garlic and Italian herbs, and let it simmer for several hours. It’s super easy, and tastes far better, and is much cheaper. Cook up several cans in a giant pot, and freeze the sauce in single or double containers.

    Chili is another cheap, nutritious meal that freezes easily. Just ground meat, beans, a can of diced tomatoes, and herbs. Just don’t forget the Cumin, that’s the taste of Chili.

    When pork shoulders are on sale, cook one up in a slow cooker, and freeze that. Cheap pulled pork available whenever you want it. Do the same with chicken breast and/or thighs, when they’re on sale.

    Do one of those, and a couple more, every Sunday, and you’ll have a lot of cheap meals for the next month or two.



  • It wasn’t supposed to get done right, or get done at all. He doesn’t care if it sits there, a broken mess in the middle of DC. He’s a slumlord, he’s doesn’t even see that sort of stuff.

    It was all just a standard kickback scheme. He gets his “pool guy” from Maralago to take the contract, keep a couple of mill for himself for his trouble, and the rest goes to Trump. The pool l guy will do some basic work, maybe even get it operating, but it will be shoddy work, with inferior products, every corner cut hard, no permits, no inspections, a couple of bribes, etc. He’ll walk away with a bunch of money, and a nefarious secret he shares with the President, that he can call on when he needs it. .







  • I just saw a video on the first music synthesizer. It was built in 1897, and took up the entire basement of a city-black sized building. It was huge and useless, but it worked. Over the next 75 years, technology improved, until it could fit into a suitcase, and be carried around.

    The concept and the tech existed in its basic form, but it wasn’t really ready for deployment yet.

    I see data centers that way. Technically, they can build it, but it still has too many problems to be truly viable yet. There are too many problems with cost, the environment, the corruption, and that’s before considering the impact on society.

    In 50 years, maybe we’ll have the technology and the public policy to do this right, but right now it seems like we are forcing an inferior system to accommodate something that is too advanced for it. We’re getting way ahead of ourselves.

    It’s like body builder who gets on a bike for the first time, and can’t believe how fast his giant muscles can make that bike move, without realizing how out of control it will be at the same time, or how big the crash will be when it finally arrives.

    Let me preface this by saying I don’t know shit about shit, leastways medical shit, so this is probably completely stupid:

    His immune system developed like this from the beginning, and it know no other way. So it just works.

    Or maybe it doesn’t. The person could have all sorts of auto-immune stuff going on, they didn’t say.
