Such a low effort piece. Barely passable for a general audience, absolutely terrible for anyone with a modicum of understanding. "Fast-evolving artificial intelligence chatbots and other new AI tool"? Give me a break. What did Chloe Samaha actually use for her "vibe coding"? Claude? VS with Copilot? Other? I want to know. I searched, but there is no answer, just that thread bare NPR piece.

Not to mention that during the pandemic, Republicans claimed to hate being advised what to do by what they called an unaccountable central authority, but the tariffs are just that, if not actually much, much worse.

Thereâ(TM)s no way to onshore manufacturing and production without our legislators â" who are actually accountable to us, an important distinction. Trump has said that itâ(TM)ll take two years to onshore. Thereâ(TM)s no way! Itâ(TM)d take five to ten years to make it happen. Plus action by congress. And positive incentives, not just punitive measures.

Not even a dictatorial president like Trump could get it done in the remainder of his term.

it just goes to show you that either the tariffs are a terrible idea; theyâ(TM)re a mechanism for grift, pay for play, and a weapon for corruption; or both.

To protect your rights with regards to Nintendo, I strongly urge everyone to opt out of Nintendo's mandatory, binding, forced arbitration terms. See instructions further below for how to do so.

Mandatory binding arbitration for consumers is a scourge upon us (IMO).

The history of companies such as-but not limited to-Wells Fargo, AT&T, and Direct TV bludgeoning consumers with arbitration terms and running roughshod over what should be our unconditional rights to be made whole for damage caused by their malfeasance, malice, and/or negligence is extensive, well documented, and must be stopped.

Therefore, we should do everything in our power to protect ourselves from mandatory binding arbitration for consumers - until the day that we finally convince our legislators to outlaw it.

Until then, companies like Wells Fargo, AT&T, and now, Nintendo, can and will continue to be free to screw us over when we they like with nearly complete immunity.

Opt out instructions

Within 30 days of the date on which you have first (automatically!) agreed to be bound by Nintendo's service agreement, you have the right to opt out of the arbitration requirement in Section 16 of Nintendo's TOS by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address:

Nintendo of America Inc.
Attn: CS Admin
4600 150th Ave NE
Redmond, WA 98052

Such notice must include the name of each person opting out, contact information for each such person, and the email address registered to your Nintendo Account.

What matters when talking about taxes that families pay is the amount of tax paid as a percentage of family income. Not how much in total dollars. To make things better for the greatest number of people, the American progressive tax system would need higher marginal rates on the highest brackets and lower marginal rates on lowest brackets.

Even before the pandemic, used Nissan Leafs were popular. Oh, and cheaper back then. Usually about $8,000 but as low as about $6,000 in my area and as high as $10,000. Anyway, the point is that they are affordable, or at least they were before the pandemic. I havenâ(TM)t checked prices on them lately.

Reminds me of how they had that in the cars in the movie The Fifth Element.

Because the financial loss is less for the company than the harms and risks to employees and neighbors. Because the financial loss is less than the cost of cutting corners, or they wouldn't cut corners.

Because the cost of the response. Why should the costs of their risks be socialized on citizens when the profits are privatized to the company? Why should taxpayer money be wasted on responding to those fires when the law could have required and properly incentivized the company to prevent them in the first place?

Your first link: Whoâ(TM)s says the immigrants are illegal? And did you miss the part where CONGRESS authorized it? And the part where CBP and FEMA are both under DHS so yeah, thereâ(TM)s going to be some overlap? > Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), announced $300 million in grants through the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which was authorized by Congress to support communities that are providing services to migrants.

Letâ(TM)s not generalize against unions. Sources and numbers please or STFU.

Itâ(TM)s the volume. It costs pennies to spam 100k people. A few dollars to spam millions. Only a few of those people have to respond to get returns of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a month.

Any outfit not doing STIR/SHAKEN or not passing along legit information for each call deserves to be blocked.

Exactly! Theyâ(TM)re fabless!

Youâ(TM)re not talking about the teacher that openly had all the parents sign permission slips to watch Disney movies, in Florida, right?

And youâ(TM)re definitely not talking about the parent on the school board that reneged on her signed agreement, and secretly went behind the teacherâ(TM)s back to narc on the teacher to the state, right?

After all, itâ(TM)s the conservative christians that love freedom, are against overbearing government, are upright, forthright, honest, just, and just plain right, arenâ(TM)t they, right?

Even though there are lots of crappy things about them, I think we should keep auto dealers around because theyâ(TM)re a hedge against automaker hegemony.

Nuclear seems like a boutique technology in that nuclear plants are seldom built in the US, so institutional knowledge for their construction could be lacking?
