Probably for the same reason they’re against medicine

Honda has 16 factories in the us. Your next honda probably won’t be affected.

Twitter, which was financed using tesla stock as collateral. He won’t have it for much longer if things keep going as they are.

explain the value of quid pro quo when the quoer no longer has anything of value to offer?

sure, but why would trump, now that he has the same access being the head of the federal government, use that access altruistically to help someone who is no longer useful to him? that’s not really his character.

if it were as simple as writing a check using the access, why wouldn’t trump write checks for himself instead?

In what way would that benefit trump? Also the president can’t unilaterally authorize bailout checks through executive order, that would have to go through congress which is unlikely.

elon is valuable at the moment because he’s rich, when that’s no longer the case, trump will have no use in tolerating him any longer. elon will be discarded. trump isn’t exactly loyal to those around him.

The Signal Foundation is a non-profit. The non-profit owns an LLC under the same name which publishes and develops the apps.

The software itself is open source, and licensed under AGPLv3, the same permissive license as lemmy and mastodon.

Calling them a private company with no motivation to disclose any failures in their security is pretty clearly untrue in whole.

The best time to transition was 14-16 years ago. The second best time is right now!

Take small steps. If it feels right keep going.

Is that shirt real? I need one.

so… how much did does the us government give its auto industry?

They gave us auto companies 81 billion between 2008 and 2014, and continue to subsidize the industry to this day.

pot meet kettle

…

biden basically did that already. ever noticed there are no byds on the road in the us?

i seem to recall it wasn’t an outright ban, but unreasonable tariffs on chinese evs specifically. a soft ban, but enough to be as effective.

The receiver is the part of the gun with a serial number that has to be reported to the government when sold or transferred. Every other part and ammunition are normal goods with few restrictions.

Only one part needs to be self crafted to make and fire a ghost gun. They are not impossible to detect through investigation or forensics, they’re just unregistered.

Welcome! I did the same recently. Blahaj is much nicer than world. I hope you enjoy your time here!

If you want to make that shirt I’ll buy one. I don’t think I’m quoting someone by accident. Have at it if you’re inspired.

Whenever a headline is written to imply something without saying it, don’t trust it.

The words in the headline are not false, but they chose to cover this story nationally because they can write a headline that strongly implies that there was an attempt on the president’s life because they know that will entice a click.

If there was evidence of the exciting implication that would be the headline.

A depressed person attempting suicide by cop isn’t something relevant to a national audience, but people will click because of the headline.

This is a transcript of a meeting. Those are words that trump did say, but this screenshot is cropped deliberately to hide that fact.

This is one of the typical lies that trump is known to make in speeches. This isn’t a whitehouse staff member publishing those words as a written statement the office stands behind.

The rich have more assets and income sources and have staff who do a bunch of financial chicanery to try to hide their tax evasion. Auditing the rich requires significantly more work than the poor.

These decisions are not about doing what makes sense. The IRS is a revenue generator. Spending money on the IRS brings in significantly more money in unpaid taxes than it costs.

The goal is not to do what’s best for the government’s budget. Its really about ensuring that their criminal friends can continue to get away with it.

You are going to change slowly and gradually once you start HRT. That’s the most important thing. Get that started as early as possible.

I would advise you to freeze your sperm before you start HRT, unless you are sure you don’t want children. The informed consent documents listed two irreversible changes, sterility and breasts.

I’m about 3 and a half month on HRT. I barely have breast shape at this point. My measurements have not changed enough that my old clothes no longer fit comfortably. You’ll have time to adjust to the changes. You’ll have plenty of time to gradually upgrade your wardrobe, and learn makeup, there’s no need to work these things out in advance.

Delay is fine for everything except the HRT and cryopreservation if applicable. Get that E, sis!

The doctrine is called force majeure. Most contracts have a force majeure clause.

If an external factor makes a contract impossible as agreed, the contract can be made void under force majeure. This is very common, and suddenly applied tariffs would likely be covered by a force majeure clause because neither party were responsible for them.

They make bad small phones that people don’t buy because they’re bad, then conclude its because people don’t buy small phones.

They make phones like the palm palm, the second phone you have to pair to your other phone, for those days when the big phone is too big. Also the battery didn’t even last a day. When it doesn’t sell they say its because it was small, not the everything else.
