Comment Why bother? (Score 4, Interesting) 55

The FCC said it would consider public comments before deciding whether to reverse the rule

The decision has already been made. They'll probably use fake comments like they did in his first term. Went looking for the quote, but a guy wondered how his dead mother was able to submit a public comment.

This will be no different than RFK, Jr saying in April he'll find a cause for autism by September. And look what happened.

Putting one in New York never really made sense to me, because the state of New York had aproximately nothing to do with the shuttle program other than providing a museum at the end and probably contributing some astronauts to the program.

Eyeballs. Compare the number of people who visit New York City to Houston. New York City attracts 60 - 68 million visitors each year. Houston attracts roughly 54 million.

NYC also has more international visitors than Houston so more people from around the world would get to see a shuttle.

Comment More BS (Score 4, Insightful) 35

A GSA spokesperson told TechCrunch that Musk was not directly involved in negotiating the agreement.

It is guaranteed Musk was involved in negotiating the agreement. Nothing gets done at the company without his approval.

This is just another example of the ongoing grift. Taxpayers are once again footing the bill so the boys club can have their meetings.

If there's actually a genocide going on, maybe it's Hamas' fault for hiding in amongst the civilian population, eh?

Perhaps Israel shouldn't be murdering civilians waving white flags in a designated "safe" zone.

But please, keep making excuses for the ongoing genocide.

California's population in 2023 was 39 million and had ~100,000 deaths attributed to COVID and California had some of the strictest COVID policies.

What's your point?

That California was more diligent in tracking covid deaths while Florida deliberately went out of its way to hide its numbers.

You have 20+ million criminals in your country from nations all over the world,

No, we don't. What we do have is the vast majority of crimes, of all types, are committed by U.S. citizens born in this country. Such as this one which was recorded, but which Trump said isn't a big deal and ordered the case closed.

But please, continue with your ranting. It gives us something to laugh at.

Once you threaten a public official, as happened in this case, the Secret Service is involved. The SS is also involved in protecting foreign dignitaries when they come to this country.

Thus, with the UN session going on, they were doing what they should. They were probably (most definitely) working with the FBI and DHS, possibly even NSA, on this.

Comment Let's do H-2B visas next (Score 0, Troll) 125

H-2B visas allow companies to bring in foreign workers for non-agricultural purposes, such as waiters/waitresses, hotel desk clerks, housekeeping staff, servers, cooks, etc.

Let's impose a $100,000 fee for those visas as well so Americans can get those jobs.

Oh right. These are the visas Trump uses to avoid hiring Amerians at his failing golf clubs and hotels. Just like he knowingly hired illegals at his failing golf club.

Comment Deserve what you get (Score 4, Insightful) 261

If you were dumb enough to buy one of these "smart" refrigerators, you get what you deserve. There is absolutely no reason to have a "smart" refrigerator. It's a refrigerator. It should only do two things: keep the stuff in the fridge cool and the stuff in the freezer frozen.

Anything else is a waste of money.
