She’s a single mom and a widow. Now the kid has NO PARENTS. Thanks to ICE.

He said Good and his son had a child who is now 6 years old. “There’s nobody else in his life,” Macklin Sr. said. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come and get my grandchild.”

Here’s the play: Trump forced embargos on Venezuela oil that made Venezuela-owned CITGO refineries designed to refine Venezuelan oil unprofitable. US Courts forced sale of CITGO assets, Singer swooped in and bought them for $5.9billion, a third of its $18billion value (oil refineries are very expensive to build). 2 months later, Trump attacks Venezuela, removes Maduro and Venezuelan oil is legal again. Presto! Instant profit in billions!!!

She is likely Tibetan and not ethnic Han Chinese.

but that contradicts the great justification for capitalism: efficient markets. Monopolies are the exact opposite of efficient markets.

I want to make a clarification here before we all get too far ahead with “16% of GDP”. There are many things wrong with the way giant tech companies dominate their respective fields. However the value of a company does not equal its’ share of the GDP. GDP is the OUTPUT of a country in 1 year. It does not equal the value of all the private enterprises combined which is what this comparison is trying to do. What we want to compare then, is to take NVIDIA’s output in ONE YEAR and see how much of the economy it dominates. US GDP is ~ 30 trillion in 2025. Nvidia’s output or revenue for current fiscal year is ~ $200 billion. That’s 0.6% of the GDP. That’s far cry from 16%, by about 27 times less.

What we should be concerned are the size of the market cap of these giant tech companies dominating the total value of the stock market, as well as the monopolistic margins these companies enjoy. All of these contribute to the imbalances in the world we see today - in the economies, in the society and social structure, and in politics. Communism once rose two centuries ago in protest against the concentration of power in the hands of a few. A solution is needed to remedy the imbalances of today.

Trump: (I) Made America Ass Again.

Yes her extraordinary ability is to date tolerate and stay married to a known pervert and pedophile. I don’t know how many of these people have that.

He might be the stupidest American president ever. Banks will take anybody’s money if you give it to them. Even criminals’.

😱 How does this still happen in this day and age?

estimates by the independent Congressional Budget Office, which has estimated the project could take 20 years and cost $524 billion.

that’s how much.

It means the government’s borrowing costs will increase. It will increase mortgage rates, borrowing rates for individuals, for businesses, municipalities and states. It will increase the costs of everything.

This hurts everybody’s wallet.

It’s not even going to this - publishers are pulling games, tv series and movies for various reasons.

American court system has become a monkey court.

This is essentially adding another layer of tax or tariffs on imports, and more impediments to global trade. Basically, Trump is determined to stall trade with the world and fuck the economy.

It’s a metaphor, not “literal” army. And it is in the millions. Many are unseen as they come out when the streets are empty doing the garbage picking and cleaning, etc.

Japan is relying more and more on a shadow army of millions of imported foreign workers that is slowly changing its populace. Japan could see a right wing backlash to the changing demographics at some point as we’ve seen in Europe.
