Apparently, Grok is the only reliable thing Elon Musk has paid people far smarter than him to create.

The ABA supports the rule of law It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accor...

Loosely Translated for clarity:
The ABA is very fucking aware that Trump is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution.
The ABA speaks for the entire Judicial Branch when it confirms that the OrangeHitler/Elmo administration is trying to create an illegal Dictatorship.

We’re supposed to just take Elon’s word that he’s found β€œmassive” fraud in federal systems he took over? The same guy they found committing fraud on his fellow gamers?

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.

Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.

Republican calls to scrap workplace safety agency Representative Andy Biggs made an earlier bid to abolish the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in 2021.

Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA.

As a former labor secretary, I know firsthand how crucial this agency is to protecting workers from bosses who cut corners on safety to pad their own pockets.

This is the party of corporate greed, not the party of workers.

What is the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE? President Trump said the entity would focus on cutting government waste and slashing federal regulations, and he put tech billionaire and adviser Elon Musk in charge.

The REAL Waste That DOGE Should Cut
The REAL Waste That DOGE Should Cut YouTube video by Robert Reich

DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections.

If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

How not to describe the Trump presidency Friends,

When it comes to the American presidency, one should never conflate power with greatness.

Here's how NOT to describe the Trump presidency:

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Trump is halting support for popular programs that millions of Americans β€” especially children, students, and seniors β€” rely on.

All while gearing up to give his billionaire buddies and giant corporations another giant tax cut.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The egg industry has been impacted by a surge of bird flu cases, with more than 13 million egg-laying hens dying in December. That means a dozen large, Grade A eggs cost an average of $4.15 -- a nearly 37% increase from the year before. via @kcur.org

My perspective is that you are insecure and don't have anything better to do with your time than to pick a fight with a stranger. The account has a bad attitude that is common in the "less than 10 years in poly" community and I wanted to highlight it as someone who's been around a lot longer.
