Classic Cluster B like behavior.

I think they’re talking about people you may have lost contact with. Where do you find anyone for a quick text? Facebook. What is the substitute platform for finding just about anyone?

It’s difficult to believe anything this administration says when they do often simply state what they want perception to be, in spite of reality.

Wait. Events are moving too fast to keep up with, now free speech is illegal. Great.

Unless you live inside a major city in America, you can’t get to work without a vehicle. It’s either have a car or be homeless.

They were manufacturing original Volkswagen beetles in Brazil and Mexico up until 2003?. Illegal to sell in the USA.

So our government is now doubling as advertising executives?

Dementia. Allegedly.

If “engagement” is a tap in, which this article is not clear on, then it’s a piss poor measurement of engagement.

I think bots are “good” for making an item appear viral through artificial amplification of visibility. Of note, the headlines in Gaza and Israel pre 2024 election were a deluge. Multiples every day. Post election, that deluge of posts dropped abruptly, to 0-1 a day.

There also needs to be a distinction between passive and active engagement.

Not so silently, if you pay attention. There were brief headlines on the No selling to our defense contractors some time ago.

I’m in Trump time dilation so it’s hard to guesstimate when I read that one.

Is this man functioning at full capacity? It took over a year to build a chain grocery store in a nearby town and that’s mostly stuff on shelves, not a production line set-up. Time was spent up front as well, in planning and logistics, that I wasn’t able to see, such that the total time to build a chain grocery store took well over a year, maybe two or even three.

Meanwhile, Trump expects “now” for manufacturing.

Never mind the fact that Americans won’t be able to buy products of that manufacturing due to high costs. What was the estimate, that iPhones manufactured here would cost $2k+? Something like that.

I’m not passionate about bourbon nor am I a real drinker and thus the wrong person to pull into what is intended to be a heated discussion on it.

My original point is some people are and some of those people make policy decisions.
