The stupid, it burns!

I try not to pay attention all the time to the crazy stuff happening in the US, but some days.....

Well, you missed that the US tried to invade Mexico

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble. A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments. We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

And you missed that America has HAD IT! with the ICE Gestapo and the National Guard and their swagger and lies and tear gas and pointless arrests.
