Sadly it's a near inevitable outcome of an overly powerful Federal Government attempting to deal with a population this large. The more powerful the Federal Government gets the less able it is to balance the different desires of its citizens and the less popular it becomes.

The solution was to NOT have such a powerful Federal Government but we tossed that out the window around somewhere between 1900 and 1920. It may not happen now over this but the clock is ticking and it's going to happen at some point over something.

It will be terrifying and terrible when it happens.

I wonder if it’s dawning on any Trumpers here in America that they’ve made a profoundly bad call.

Well...Rand Paul led the Senate in voting to stop the Tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Dunno if the House will follow or not but some of them are starting to clue in.

Markets will still consider it a win if Trump does not else good in the next 4 years except for extend the “tax cuts and jobs” billionaire and corporate handouts.

Of the Top 10 most profitable companies in the world 8 of them are American. Those 8 companies lost enough Market Capitalization in the last 24 hours to fund a mid-sized Country. "The Markets" are not fucking happy at all.

Inflation from the Fed helicoptering money around was probably the most predicted thing that's happened in the last 50 years. It should have surprised literally no one.

It's also no surprise that it hasn't gone away. That's called deflation and every central banker on the planet would rather be eviscerated with a rusty spoon than allow deflation to happen.

Setting up a dual wan edge device with fail-over isn't difficult, it's the paying for two ISPs part that most people don't want to do.

It's similar to using Deep Freeze on Windows where outside of specific writeable directories anything that shouldn't be changed isn't allowed to change.

Neat! Hopefully I can get in on the beta but even if I can't I look forward to trying it out!

Smells like Smoot-Hawley up in this removed.

This pen / pencil thing has been corrected so many times for so many decades that it's ludicrous people are still bringing it up.

Random bits of pencil lead floating around in a high tech environment is such a poor idea that even the Soviet's quit using pencils once Fisher's Space Pen was available. A pen which Fisher itself paid to develop and then sold to both NASA and the Soviet Space Program.

They met at a party

According to this article in DM she's on camera stumbling around the city streets so drunk that should couldn't stay upright and that's where she ran into this guy. Of course that article also says this happened at "quarter to five at night." which makes no sense.

None of them do. The closest I could find were the initials "R.V".
