We can afford to fund wars (while the military industrial complex gets rich) and bail out banks who sell junk mortgages (so bank shareholders get rich) and we can afford to house illegal immigrants (some of whom are enemy invaders, enjoying hotel living because it's the same cost of living as a crap apartment) but we can't afford to give the people who protect us a fair living wage (a lot of whom go into private security which is a national liability because it forces operators to go after the money just to be able to eat)

This country's priorities are all bass awkward and it's the government's fault. What do lawmakers even do?

They just don't like competition. Almost all of their News articles are walled in some way and removing those walled sources from the feed doesn't seem possible. If I have to click buttons or use SSO or pay to read it, it has no value to me.
Isn't Flint's water still all messed up? When is the US government going to realize that nobody believes anything they say because they in fact do nothing. Just a bunch of blah blah blah with no action items or results of their meaningless words. Uncle Sam is like a drunk uncle at at Thanksgiving, it talks day in and day out each word more meaningless than the one it follows.

Yeah I liked breaking points when it was just the two original hosts even though it was still opinionated. Honestly the podcast scene has just turned into cable news

China will get bitten by the snake it chose to tread on
? How about they let carpenters worry about their own fingers so the US can focus on keeping their commie-loving fingers out of our wallets?

I like it as long as it doesn't fork-bomb me for querying the wrong thing
? What do you think they're doing with teams? They are listening to your conversations, watching you when you aren't in a call, and the same applies to anyone who comes within close proximity.
It's spyware
On one hand it's a good thing because journals and peer groups are populated by easily-bought academic frauds, on the other hand fuck Bill Gates
Trying to step up their data privacy violation game with distributed AI
Apple and Microsoft are competing on who can make the worst UX in the desktop arena. Window management is so bad in osx and I refuse to pay for add-ons to make things slightly better when Linux and the small galaxy of window managers have been doing it so well, and for free, for literally decades.
Lol the only way Microsoft can achieve quantum computing is by stealing someone's quantum computer
