I am a time-traveling dolphin. An entity made of giant balls gave me the ability to breathe underwater, but this ability was recently stolen from me by aliens.
Sometimes I turn into a bird.
Which, in an ideal world, is why AI generated comments should be labeled.
I always break when I see a deer at the side of the road.
(Yes people can lie on the Internet. If you funded an army of propagandists to convince people by any means necessary I think you would find it expensive. People generally find lying like this to feel bad. It would take a mental toll. With AI, this looks possible for cheaper.)
Right? The McDs I remember growing up was a themed one. It was trying to be like a 50s soda shop. They had a model (or actual?) grill for a retro 50s car coming out of the wall. There were neon light decorations around the place and pictures of Elvis. They played rockabilly music instead of top 50 recent hits or whatever.
McDs these days reminds me of airport bathrooms.
Alleged pedophiles
The article is sparse of actual info, so I might be wrong, but these are just arrests. They might have gotten the wrong guys, or just made shit up.
Even if these guys are all pesos/rapists/etc its still a problem he’s doing this. The rate of criminality is actuality lower in immigrant populations vs regular citizens so it paints a false picture. But its not even clear this is anything other than (baseless) accusations.
You should be concerned with debt/GDP ratio, not the overall number. We’ve had no problem paying our bills which is why in the past we have had an excellent rating. Historically our debt/GDP ratio has been in line with other nations with developed economies. Nothing unusual.
Moody’s is lowering our rating because our GDP is projected to go down (due to tarrifs and destruction of the public sector) and we are going to be operating with a budget deficit. Decrease in GDP means less tax money coming in, and we will be adding to the deficit anyway (and thus our debt) due to Republican policies.
Trump has also said he didn’t feel like paying the interest on the debt, which no one took seriously and he didn’t follow through with. Thank god. Since most tbills are owned by US holders, not paying out bonds is a direct self-own.
Focusing on the actual debt total doesn’t paint a full picture. Moody’s is only concerned whether tbills purchased will actually pay.
