I know from the way it looks at me that my spreadsheet loves me.

So he's trying to declare Game Over to avoid accountability? Fuck that.
Not the USA, just the idiots temporarily in control.
Just what a treasonous Russian stooge would say.
And veto-proof by the US until we're rid of Fanta Quisling.
He has lackeys to make weak excuses for his actions.
The greater concern is Trump lifting sanctions and starting to deliver military aid to Russia, or even worse, commit US troops.
Vance has never met a corrupt autocrat he didn't like, even that odious shit Modi.
The other end of that is just as bad. The Saudis raise cattle in the desert because their government wants to encourage its citizens to consume more cow's milk (you can also buy camel's milk in supermarkets but it's very much an acquired taste). There are vast structures to provide shade, and misting systems to keep the cattle cool, all of this in one of the hottest desert environments on earth. The farms are manned by low-paid TCNs who live in abysmal conditions. And the water? Saudi Arabia is mining subterranean aquifers at a mad rate, and it's not in any way sustainable. So both ends of the supply chain are wasteful abominations.
Shutting down the irrigation of all golf courses would be a big win too.
And if you thought there was some natural end point to enshittification, here's your evidence that there's no such thing.
It shows that the East Coast metropolitan elite that is the source of most top-line journalists is collectively pig-ignorant about tech matters. NYT's tech coverage is mainly puff pieces tracking the hype cycle of the tech du jour. I've never seen anything insightful from them. It's like listening to lawyers discuss tech. Without my iron self-control, there would have been so many defenestrations.
