That still doesn’t mean a child will have “debt”. The account can lose value but a loss of investment is not a debt owed.

Unless you’re saying to even “get” the $1000 you have to deposit more money. I don’t have kids, but one friend who had a child last year said her husband claimed the account but they don’t plan to add to it. She didn’t mention any requirement to add more funds.

For children born in 2025 and 2026 the government deposits $1000.

During G.W. Bush’s 2nd term Repubs in Congress were pushing privatization of Social Security with that same argument. Then the market crashed and we had the Great Recession. Those checks still hit people’s bank accounts reliably every month. They dropped that privatization talk real fast.

It will have no effect on their credit rating. The value of a stock portfolio is not reported to credit bureaus.

How will the kids have debt from these accounts? If the parents make no deposits, just let the $1000 sit, then maybe it declines in value, even goes to zero, but they and their child won’t owe anyone anything.

It’s not just a golf course either. It’s a large park where people picnic and bike, walk, fish, with a public golf course and a putt-putt golf course in the center. Trump has his own course in Virgina but wants to take this one from the locals and destroy a beloved natural area.

He’ll say it’s because he’s the only person whoever aced it and the doctors get a kick out of seeing him do it. Or some such self-aggrandizing bullshit.

Also, the caricatures presented in the satire are thisclose to people we are now seeing in real life. Thus they’re not funny or even interesting but annoying, tiresome, and boring.

I’ve read that Iñárritu wanted to make this film for 10 years. 9 or so years ago it might have hit differently. Now it’s landing too late, when we’re mostly discouraged and weary because we feel we’ve already crossed a line we can’t come back from. A warning rather than a reproach.

I think because the people who saw it and are discussing it are purposely not revealing the film’s turns so as not to spoil them for others. But by not discussing the turns, anyone who hasn’t seen the film can’t fully understand the discussion. And those who are discussing it can’t fully discuss it.

Green and shady East Potomac Park is beloved by DC locals. You see large family picnics; people fishing; cyclists, runners, and walkers; golfers; a mix ethnicitues and ages representative of the whole city. We love our trees. Destroying these mature trees strikes at our hearts. Trump hates DC.

This judge is not fucking around 🔥 Trump bulldozed ahead with cutting down hundreds of trees at the historic East Potomac Golf Links, despite a federal judge’s warning. She ordered work stopped & warned: “If that order is violated by as so much as two seconds, there will be contempt proceedings.”

The Democratic candidates need to talk about Trump’s war failure just like Trump talked about Biden leaving U.S. military equipment behind when we left Afghanistan. Talk about these losses and their cost + lives lost and how Trump is 100% responsible for it.

I know, I live in DC. People are misunderstanding that what I’m saying is no matter how much they try to intimidate DC voters, the Democrat will still be elected mayor. Therefore, it is absolutely a show of intimidation, designed to be photographed and seen throughout the country.

AnneT @annetarrill.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
I absolutely do not underestimate them. My point being that this is an intimidation display that is meant to be photographed and disseminated widely to upset and scare people in other states. Intimidating voters in DC will have no effect on who wins the mayoral election.

Rather than drop my ballot at a nearby box where there are no Guard members, I will go out of my way to find a box they are “resting” in front of. If a Guard is standing near the drop slot my words to them won’t be a polite “excuse me”.

Trump is in charge of DC’s National Guard. They don’t collect the deposited ballots and they must not stand at ballot boxes. The ballot boxes are secure. DC’s election is for mayor. Residents vote ~90% Democratic so the race is not at all close. The Guard presence is a show of force to upset people.

The main race in DC is for mayor, and the Democratic candidate WILL win because DC voters are ~90% Democrats. There’s no reason to “guard” the ballot box. This pathetic voter intimidation show is meant to be photographed and publicized to rile people up.

AnneT @annetarrill.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
It’s interesting that they’re doing it in DC because there’s no close election race here so why intimidate voters? The Democratic candidate for mayor WILL win because DC voters are around 90% Democratic. This is all for show, to be photographed and stir people up.

Even if we say we’ll plant them all back when he’d gone, ongoing drought in DC means it’s hard for young trees to develop healthy root systems and grow strong. It will take a decade or more to bring back the shade system these mature trees were part of. Sick Trump destroying beautiful, green DC.

I thought the judge ruled that Trump had to give notification before cutting down healthy trees. But Trump doesn’t pay attention to court orders.

When I’ve seen news reports about this they use grocery store footage of stocked shelves. Instead they should show someone shopping online.

I was thinking that, too, that all the stores around me have shelf tags, so how could they change individual prices? Then I realized tgey’re tslking mostly about price changes happening with online orders.

You never know who might grow a conscience and shake hands across the aisle, especially when Trump is lame-ducked and showing his weakness more every day.
