I'm trying to work out why the Texas floods and severe loss of life, young life at that, is receiving very little coverage. The NWS predicted the storm but FEMA did not front run it due to Noems approval for the expenditure required not coming in a timely manner. 110 dead, 160 still missing?? WTF.

Now that we know how sensitive Trump is to a bond yield spike don't be surprised if China doesn't periodically spike them over the coming months. More market mayhem added to uncertainty makes investing in the US very difficult.

China didn't build those factories that took American jobs. American corporations did. Capital is mobile, labour isn't and they took advantage of low wage rates. American workers paid the price. Now American consumers will pay the price. Corporations and Billionaires are not limited by borders.

Now that the price of US citizenship has been set at 5 million dollars, does that mean all US citizens are suddenly millionaires, or does it mean if you don't have the price of entry to the club you don't count?

Tesla model 3 sales in Australia down over 80%. Chair Robyn Denholm and Kimball Musk continue share sales. thedriven.io/2025/03/04/t...

So the Preident of the United States is more concerned about the welfare of the Tate brothers, accused of rape, people trafficking and fraud, than the population of Ukraine. Have I got that right?

I hope Trumps threats to expel Palestinians don't lead to terrorist attacks on US assets. There will not be a 'coalition of the willing'.

If the minimum wage was tied to average CEO salary all Americans would be better off.

Musk doing all the domestic Presidential work and Trump handling all the international relations is really working out🤪

Being an ally of the US seems to take a lot of effort these days.

Will the sovereign wealth fund be investing in crypto? Like Dogecoin, Trumpcoin?

Is the US now an enormous case study for the Dunning-Kruger affect?

Do you think potential non-white, non-christian immigrants are reconsidering their applications to migrate to the US?

Who would have thought that MLK would be celebrated, Trump would be inaugurated, and the Union forged by the founding fathers, upheld by Lincoln, maintained by 45 President's, would be ended on the same day.

Been 2 months now but I still can't get my head around 2/3 of the population in the world's pre eminent democracy voting to never have to vote again!

All of these billionaires bending the knee to Trump and Musk would do well to remember who put them there in the first place. We made them - we can break them.

The fall of Assad marks another middle eastern autocrat who has been overthrown by their people. Paradoxically here in the 'enlightened' west...........?

Elon Musk has brought all of his entrpreurial skill to bear in engineering the rapid growth of bluesky. A true genius.

I just read where immigrant Musk is suggesting consumer protection department be abolished (Tesla build quality?). But while they're busy asking how we can cut this, do away with that etc. Shouldn't the real question be ' why was it put there in the 1st place, what, if anything, has changed?'

Looking at Trumps picks so far I have to say if it's a choice between DEI a sycophancy, give me DEI every time.
