Sure, that's completely true but unrelated to what you said in your original comment. I quote:

Why would anyone with that much money want to come here permanently

You were not talking about non-resident citizens, so stop moving the goalposts.

Plus, the US has one of the lowest tax rates of any of those "large countries" you talked about. So unless a US citizen resided in a country without a tax treaty with the US (there's not many of them), they're almost certainly being charged enough tax in their resident country that they pay $0 to the IRS on non-USA income.

The US is the only large country that taxes its citizens on their worldwide income.

That’s untrue. As a Canadian, I know we do, and I believe we’re far from alone. I don’t know why people keep perpetuating this myth.

A message even better when it's delivered by a Canadian Treasure!

Not really. He hasn't been acting President for months, so there was no urgency for the court to force it through.

I think I count 20 people at the bus stop, so to be generous, I'm assuming 1.4 people per car, which would be ~14 cars. I count 17 cars on the road from the far right of the picture to the bus (including the car in the right turn lane, not counts the cars in the driveway, or that cute micro-car).

Sure, but your previous comment said:

This was more money than the 2000 presidential campaign by either side

But that's not true if they're both 2000/2025 dollars. So at least now the dollars are apples-to-apples.

If you just want the tech specs and don't want to read a full article, Nintendo has published a spec sheet.

I'm curious to see what the "Custom processor made by NVIDIA" is, partially to see what the Switch 2 is capable of, but also to see what Nvidia might put in other devices. (Can I hope for a Shield refresh?)

This isn't the judge's fault. They work within a system and can't force a prosecutor to pursue a case. What else do you expect them to do?

I don't disagree there's too much money in politics, but let's compare apples-to-apples. With inflation, $100M in 2025 would be ~$54M in 2000.

That's not the cost of running the election, that's the parties spending on the election, correct? So those funds were never going to go into infrastructure. I definitely agree we overspend on politics for politics sake, but please don't conflate political party funds with government funds.

Well, the judge can order the arrest of those people. We shall soon find out whether law enforcement will actual follow those orders...
