And now it's our turn in the United States to implode due to internal corruption.

It sucks that I'm too old to emigrate as a Skilled Worker.

Where did I say that NOBODY should go to college?

Where did I say that EVERYONE should be in the trades?

Yes, there is an issue with the high cost of post-secondary education, and it does need to be addressed. However, that's no reason to dismiss those who find their niche elsewhere.

I have one son who will be getting his Bachelor's in about a year. I have another son who is happily working in his chosen field who may or may not ever go to college.

Let's help our children be the best version of who they are is all I'm trying to say.

I have two sons. My older son is finishing his junior year of college and working part-time in his chosen field. My younger son went to a vocational high school for his final two years, where he learned HVAC, got his OSHA 20 hour card, and became certified to handle all manner of refrigeration systems. He's currently working as a residential HVAC installer and is one of the youngest employees in his company.

Both of my sons have found their niche, and I am very proud of both of them. Not everyone is cut out for college, and we need to understand and accept this.

I imagine things may get a bit more expensive for you (sorry!) but if the Chinese government is smart they'll do what they can to keep the increases to a minimum while doing as much damage to the US (especially the Republican states) as they can.

So where can we get these Sodium-ion batteries?

Who is manufacturing them?

So what you're saying is that we have to destroy the nation in order to save it, right?

That's not the problem. The problem the "Right" has is that when the LLM weighs the pros versus the cons the result often doesn't match what they want it to be.

That's what they want to change. They're trying to make reality match their expectations and they're mad that it's not working.

With the instability and uncertainty about material and labor costs and availability due to the actions of the current regime, the risk-benefit ratio can't be calculated with any certainty.

It's not a good time to make any large investments in my opinion. Hold your cash and real estate.

Only if you're looking for expensive clothing, cast iron cookware (Lodge Cast Iron), or flatware (where your only choice is Liberty Tabletop).

The reality is that electronics manufacturing, like almost every other type of manufacturing, left the United States decades ago and is not coming back.

When I was a child, I watched "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."

One of the characters had this line in the show:
"I came to Minneapolis because of the cold. I figured if I was frozen I'd keep better."

The world is screwed.

My understanding is that LLM's as currently being designed and built are for quickly gathering and distilling current knowledge.

Most of the use cases I've seen are around augmenting human effort, not necessarily replacing it.

I'm sure others may see it differently. I also anticipate that as the technology grows and matures the use cases will likewise change.

Why does it have to be only Fox News? The other Angry People's Networks should have to carry the executions too.

Please accept this virtual +100 from me.

Your first sentence is not true. Once your earnings exceed a specific amount, you can stop paying into Social Security for the rest of the year. For 2024, the Social Security tax limit was $168,600.
