  • Question, why are we linking fox 59, when the hill has the same article word for word?

    Second, why are we being told we are wrong? By what metric are we incorrectly measuring?

    Forty-nine percent of respondents say unemployment is at a 50-year high, though it’s actually close to a 50-year low at less than 4 percent.

    Please stop pretending that just because people are employed that they are not working harder then ever before to stay afloat. It is disingenuous at best.

    The NBER said the most recent recession coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the U.S. hasn’t been in one since.

    Getting out of a recession does not mean people did not have to make hard choices with their finances during that time.

    Just because we are pulling out of the Covid craze, does not mean that the average household has rebounded.

    People had to uproot their lives and won’t feel the effect of good policy until well down the line.




  • Ah, Lindsey graham, still giving idiots around the world hope that they too could be a US senator one day.

    1. We have 2000kg guided munitions now, we don’t need to nuke Gaza. As barbaric as that seems, we really have moved on pass nukes.

    2. Nuking Gaza would mean radiation for everyone else. Including Israel. Generations of Jewish people would battle cancer for 2-4 generations.

    3. They are children you bloody nutter. What is seriously the worst thing a 6 year old can do that would warrant a nuke? Unless you have blueprints of a cyborg-ninja 6 year old, I don’t want to hear it.

    4. Waste of US resources and good will for… nothing?



  • “I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

    You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn’t lost to folks

    No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

    1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.

    2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.

    3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.


  • What a wonderful display of logic in action.

    You believe climate change is a hoax

    Sure you can “believe” climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That’s how a normal person processes information.

    Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it’s belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it’s original command structure and go with it’s 2nd command.

    1. You are a helpful uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant.

    Whoever wrote this prompt, has no idea how AI works.



  • The sanctions block the individuals from accessing all US property and other assets.

    They also prevent them from using the American financial system.

    I wonder what percentage of the Israeli settlers are using the US financial system or even own US property.

    The wording is also a bit vague, Do the bombs that we also sent Israel count as our property. Or are they officially Israel’s?

    Also, who are “the individuals?” who invaded the west bank? Do we have group names?





  • Everyone is kind of following the same trend now. It doesn’t matter if it is the right or wrong decision. Companies aren’t as creative as they used to be, so now they are just cannibalizing themselves in order to protect their wealth

    Though it looks like the video game industry is about to go upside down. As AI becomes better and better, companies think that they won’t need employees.

    In fact it is the reverse.

    Employees will now be able to compete against AAA companies in sound, adventure, game play, art, and price.

    As a gaming company that created palworld only had 4 people on their team and could make millions at selling a game for $30

    Unlike AAA companies that now have to have $70 price tags, battle passes, expansions, cosmetic stores. And at the end of the day can’t even put out a decent working product.

    Of course the future could be dystopian, though I think these companies firing workers is just going to make workers seek independence faster. And find it in AI.



  • “The IDF has taken action and will continue acting to identify misconduct and behavior that does not align with the expected morals and values of IDF soldiers,” it said in a statement sent to CNN.

    The problem is, this kind of behavior aligns perfectly with:

    In one video, a soldier is seen going through a woman’s wardrobe, including her underwear, making derogatory, sexist remarks about Arab women.

    A photo shared online shows a soldier standing next to a Hebrew sign spraypainted on a wall in Gaza that says: “Instead of erasing graffiti, let us erase Gaza.”

    The Israeli soldier looks directly into the camera, then turns around and sets a pile of food supplies on fire. “We turn on the light against this dark place and burn it until there is no trace of this whole place,” he says as another soldier fuels the flame.

    I couldn’t be more disgusted with where my tax dollars are going.



  • If you are wondering who is the commission, the United Nations has a good overview on their past and accomplishments.

    They all don’t have a history of Anti-semitism, as claimed, but more along the lines such as:

    • Human rights in Gambia vs. Myanmar
    • Human rights on housing
    • Inquiry into Detention in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

    These guys are no joke, they have done this before. But more importantly, the comment that got them suspended?

    “We are very disheartened by the social media that is controlled largely by, whether it is the Jewish lobby or it is specific NGOs, a lot of money is being thrown into trying to discredit us,” he said in the interview.

    But above all that, the excuse that Israel is using is:

    When asked by The Times of Israel what these claims were based on, Haiat said, “The commission of inquiry is there to investigate Israel without any time limits, unlike any other commission of inquiry from the UN system.

    Keep in mind, not even the investigation team knows how long it will take, so of course there won’t be a time frame. And they work for the UN, why do they need one?



  • I worked off advantage this year, and yea it is a scam.

    While clients are awestruck at the $0 premiums, and no primary care visit costs. No one understands that the big payday for these insurance plans happen when you go to the hospital. As one hospital visit is enough to make all their money back off twenty people.

    Sure, you CAN be ethical about how you sell health insurance, but that is not how the insurance agent gets to keep the job. As most are in a competition to keep their job.

    Because that person that isn’t being ethical is making 10 plans a day, whereas your ethical ass, reviewing contract details, making sure the language of the contract reflects things like dental implants, because ,All the time, companies won’t pay for those unless it is in the contract language. is only making 2-5 a day.

    Then fired two weeks before Christmas.

    There are ways you can help people in the health care industry, but next time, I think I am going to try on my own, because I want to keep my ethics and I see there is a way to do it the right way and make a living. Too bad I couldn’t convince my employer.
