Dark thought I had. Once 2029 occurs, we know people will have pardons and think themselves untouchable. But the ICE president exists. Kidnap anyone ya want, never tell anyone where they are, and then drop them in some random country. No court appearance or judge involved. That's the precident

Just an idea How about we modify Presidential Pardons to only take effect AFTER the law breakers have served their full sentence? One guy should not have the power to overturn any verdict of guilt. Don't even mention the Orange idiot and what he's doing. He's just selling them.

Quick question, How does any company or business that removes jobs just to replace the workers with machines help society? Quick answer. They don't. Society is the last thing companies and businesses think about.

Thoughts for today. Dodging a health bullet these last two weeks made me think a bit. Looking back at my life, there are lots of lost moments. More lost moments than memories .. by far. Then I realized those blanks are when I was living in the moment. Not real memorable, but what we live for.

A thought, Since the tarrifs will be found to be illegal eventually, just like last time, why should any company be able to "pass on" the costs of tarrifs to the purchaser? Seems like a corporate scam to me.

Interesting day here Up, dressed, off to the ER for my swollen leg. In n out in 2.5 hours (mind blown huh 😀) Unsettling prognosis, so off to get new meds. Home in time for a nap. New drugs start tomorrow. So on the 'morrow I will, as always, "Endeavor to Persevere" Be well and be kind.

I see lots of reporting that Mitch McConnell is out of rehab. And now at home. It's all reported as fact. What fact does anyone have or know about that proves any of these statements? News organizations are now just reporting guesses and inuendo.They need to do better, but I'm guessing they won't.

If a book is written by AI, there is no author. If there is no author, then no one should get paid, and no one can charge you for reading it Exactly how is Barnes and Nobel going to "sell" AI collections of letters, numbers, and punctuation? They own nothing and have no legal right to charge folks

An observation on AI and its ability to pick stocks. The headline aways reads "AI makes thousands on stock picks" My question would be "How many iterations was it running?" Experts admit they don't know how AI actually operates, so how do we know the "answer" is the only one it created?

An insight I made today. The fact that the Supreme Court hasn't ruled on Trumps tarrifs yet kinda makes me believe they were just waiting for the house to make a move first. "See Trump, it wasn't us" Could be wrong. What do you think.

A presidential comparison. Obama was able to deport 3 million people during his presidency without special forces tactics and terrifying the whole country with a private army of goons. Just one example of where Obama was better at "presidenting" than Trump will ever be capable of.

So today our dictator ran back to the only warm sefe place he can find now. The campaign trail. Where his lonely few will give him the adoration he so desperately needs. The sad act of a truly unliked and despondent being. He will soon realize that even they have no longer have any feelings him.

I see that the CDC is reporting on the number of flu cases that are occuring in the US. Sorry, but I have no confidence in the values they are reporting. Could be more or less. I'll wait to see numbers from actual experts who know what they are doing to represent an accurate assessment.

Watched "Idiocracy" tonight. One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Only one factual error I noticed was that they had the year wrong. It wasn't 2505, it is 2025. But we're not that good as a nation now are we. 👍

A thought on Amazon, Wayfair, et all. Why not make an LLM that concentrates on all things for sale? Allowing you to directly purchase items from the manufacturer, creator, artist, musician, etc. No middle man, just you and the current owner. Just a thought on getting around the monopolies.

Question on the federal bailout to farmers. The money will be set to the farmers, but what determines how much each farmer gets? My guess (not fact chkd) is that it will be based on acreage. If not, given equally, 2.6m farmers share 12b, each farmer gets 4615.38. That will cover costs? Not!!!

A thought on Ukraine and NATO. Since the US is bailing on both, why not have a special session of NATO and just bring Ukraine in. This is world peace we're talking about, so screw the rules. If not this, other suggestion Create Ukraine Defense Alliance and everyone join in.
