The only time I have ever appreciated this trend was when a young guy at the grocery store asked his buddy on speaker phone whether he should buy some Totino’s pizza rolls and the reply was “dude you should *always* buy pizza rolls”

Trump historically wore Brioni, an Italian luxury company that makes suits in Italy. Here he flashes a Jos. A Bank label, a US company that long offshored its production to China and Bangladesh. They carry an associated label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in US. Curious he didn't choose that.

Donald Trump in a navy suit. He's opening the jacket, so you can see the label.

A close up of the suit label says Jos. A. Bank.

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz

Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."

New: Trump’s abrupt announcement to send $90 payments to seniors by dipping into a Medicare fund has rattled Capitol Hill. One GOP aide told WaPo that lawmakers had planned to use the money to offset funding for community health centers, diabetes programs and other initiatives.

I think it would easier to approach it this way if the Services had a clear vision for how to use RAS. I have yet to see anything from the Navy, for example, that even approaches a coherent or compelling vision for how to employ manned & unmanned surface vessels together

This doesn’t address other key exports through the SoH, though, such as fertilizer (of which a lot went through there before the war…)

As AI threatens to upend the white-collar job market, some young workers and recent graduates are reconsidering their career paths. They are, in some cases, leaving computer science studies for other college majors, or exploring a hands-on trade.

Fearing AI, workers go back to school seeking jobs that still need a human touch

Some people are abandoning office jobs for teaching, health care and the trades. But switching to the new paths can come with trade-offs.
