Colourblind, outed. Its red.

I hope a President, who is busy negotiating delicate trade deals with 17 countries, overseeing a hot war in Yemen, where American lives are at risk, trying to avert WW3 in Ukraine, conducting negotiations with Iran, fixing immigration, isn't spending all day on AI to see what homoerotic image he can come up with to wind up the "libtards". Instead, the taxpayer is employing an offical 18 year old troll, with a little bumfluff appearing on his chin , who thinks Star Wars is a Disney show.

Read the post.

Well then, you'll enjoy this homoerotic image the Whitehouse has put out. To think, there is an official Troll. Good use of taxpayer money after the DOGE days. The problem is that whoever did this is not up on their Star Wars lore. Red light sabers were for the Sith, not the Jedi.

He triggered some Chinese dude, who came up with Trump the Trannie with Tits snogging the Chinese Leader. Its a strange channel; nationalist Chinese but not communist. Very well done AI. The MAGA song is catchy.

Nah, the Chinese point out there will be plenty of jobs, enough for 5-6 jobs each,

Point of fact. Musk didn't do anything. His employees did all the work. So the headline does noed amending to avoid a false impression about the true distribution of efforts and talents.

Probably because the State of Israel was founded by socialists. Many of the Kibbutz movements were socialist in nature; a couple were even Stalinist. https://eml.berkeley.edu/~saez/course/Abramitzky_book_presentation.pdf https://rlo.acton.org/archives/110460-a-victory-for-socialism-the-israeli-kibbutz.html https://fee.org/articles/the-jewish-experiments-in-voluntary-communism/ https://reason.com/volokh/2021/04/03/how-living-on-a-socialist-kibbutz-reveals-the-value-of-private-property/

I've lived in a company town before. Generally <deleted>ty places. What outsiders think of it will be irrelevant as it will be offlimits to them. American definitions of "cities" are strange. This place is barely a hamlet, and nearly everyone is an employee of Musk. https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/spacex-s-starbase-gets-the-green-light-from-voters-elon-musk-s-texas-dream-city-becomes-reality/ar-AA1E7MFg Someone didn't like the statue of Musk Starbase company house. Yeah, predictable design. Think 1950s not 2050s. Seahaven comes to mind. Everyone in identical houses, with Tesla roofs, company grass, company blue chippings, all the same Tesla cars. Look like they are built on the cheap looking at the cheap poured concrete drives.

Problem this., this half Russian bloke calling himself "Frank" is one of that mob.

No its not. Its not about Trump at all, Its about people who post about Trump.

You forgot Gaza.

Fair points raised

What's also puzzling, in a thread where the only invited responses are supposed to be from people justifying their dislike of the man, is the rush of unpaid fans and supporters rushing to his defence, in much the same way as a Pavlovian dog, though without the endearing drool. Of course, someone could start a similar thread about Harris/Biden/Obama etc and get a similar series of responses.

Medvedev must be off his game. And I'm not talking tennis.

The 21st President being Chester A Arthur, most known for those immortal lies in Diehard 3 and a former Collector of the Port of New York. So America has been on the wrong track since 1881. Ok.

You've logged onto a politcal forum and asking why people are posting about the American Presidet? As far as I can see there are those posting topics supportive of his actions. And others with are not supportive. Plus lots of posts about lots of other subjects. Posts suggesting people are picking on him seem a bit paranoid. Plus he's a big boy, on the proverbial big bucks.

Longer clips have been shared in the thread.

No, we are a long way from that. We've been through the 5D chess mode. After 6D Chess, its a game of Pick Up Sticks. Is there a link to the original article, as I assume this was abridged.

Something Japan has been working on for a long time. Honda and Toyota are big sponsors of this type of technology. The reality is more complex, because we live in complex and very different homes. Whatt's more likely is the equip homes with suites of sensors to enable people to live independantly for longer. There will always be a place for care homes, for end of life. Not everyone gets to die at home. This is also where self driving cars come in, to help people live longer in their own homes and be more active. Half of us will get cancer, half will develop dementia. Both of those offier different challenges. For cancer patients, there is now more technology available to reduce hospital visits during chemotherapy. For those with Alzheimers, wearables and other sensors are being developed to detect falls.

I've been speaking to a US supplier of hospital needles and syringes. They are an American company, but they are now pulling out of that segment of the US market. They make speciality needles and syringes in China. They supply hospitals on a Call Off basis. Contractural details mean they cannot cite tariffs as a force majeure, and will have to swallow the price increase. They cannot simply switch manufacture to the US, at least not in short order. The needles require specialist tooling, that typically they get from Germany. Moving production to the US would require them to notify the FDA of a change to the technical package. The FDA requires approvals of changes in manufacturing sites, changes to manufacturing processes. For Class II devices like these, it used to be that the FDA would make a decision in 6 months, but they feel now that recent changes in FDA headcount will extend this. They face either 6-12 months of losses, or losing market share entirely. They think the effect is going to ripple throughout healthcare. At the next round of contract negotiations, hospitals will see prices increase 100-150%. This is going to further increase because at the same time, the FDA has seen serious headcount reductions, which is already causing bottlenecks in medical device approvals. They expect the government's reaction will be to deregulate; to simplfy the approvals process and lower the bar. This won't necessarily lead to more medical injuries, but it will increase the pressure to move the cost of device assessment to the insurance industry. The Insurance industry look largely to the CMS to determine if they will pay for a device or therapy, and that will be based on expert assessment of technical documentation. If the insurance industry is now conducting those assessments, access to quality healthcare will be further restricted, and the increased costs will be passed on to the customer (the public). When physicians choose a medical device or a drug to treat their patient, its not done on the basis of where it is made. its done on the basis of what is best for their patient. Putin found this out. When his war started, he ordered his people to come up with Russian made medtech. The Doctors told him to do one. This is no surprise. It happened during COVID, with ventilators. All around the world, politicians went and got industry together to make ventilators. The UK pulled in the military and Formula 1. The US turned to General Motors and Ford. James Dyson thought he would go ahead and redesign the ventilator. Healthcare professionals were genuinely fearful that idiot politicians were going to tell them how to treat patients. Russia did that, telling hospitals to daisy chain systems. A resulting fire incinerated an entire ward. In America, the American President wanted hospitals to use Russian made equipment. These went quietly to the skip. In the UK, doctors did their level best to stop patients going to the Nightingale Hospitals to be looked after by British Airways stewardesses (a Boris idea).

Paul robustly defends the concept of trade and how the President doesn't understand trade.
