The actual reason why is that everyone was expecting Hillary to win and she had vowed to “end private prisons.”
So everyone was calculating in a 90% or whatever chance Hillary wins, with some percentage chance she actually fulfilled her promise. Instead they got a 100% chance they would stay around for 4 years and probably get a tax cut. Pretty big adjustment is appropriate.
(Also old 2016 articles about Hillary are so quaint. They even mention Obama closing Guantanamo lmao)
Yeah the guy who was going to pass permanent corporate tax cuts and temporary individual tax cuts, funded by chaining individual tax brackets so taxes go up for individuals after 10 years, won. That’s great for corporate profits. And great for the 10% who own 90% of stocks.
It’s horrible tax policy and detrimental to the majority of Americans but it absolutely should make stocks increase.
I feel like weight class doesn’t do it. Women have higher body fat %. Is a welterweight woman athletically equivalent to a welterweight man? I don’t think so.
Fortunately and unfortunately, there have been so many changes and breakthroughs on solar power over the last 50 years that this doesn’t really tell us much about current technology.
Metric has been legally “preferred” in the US since 1975. We just don’t use it.
Also while I was looking up that year I came across this wild factoid:
In 1793, Thomas Jefferson requested artifacts from France that could be used to adopt the metric system in the United States, and Joseph Dombey was sent from France with a standard kilogram. Before reaching the United States, Dombey’s ship was blown off course by a storm and captured by pirates, and he died in captivity on Montserrat.
I’d like to rent your home for a weekend, I’ve always wanted to try living under a rock.
Yeah that would suck. But it’s still just a true statement. If Kyle Rittenhouse hates America he can leave.
Even if Native Americans do like America they can leave.
Anyone can leave for any reason.
It’s just a dumb…I don’t know I guess it’s not actually a threat. Dumb phrase.
Same way Uber lost money for 7 years straight. Investors.
Anyone can leave if they hate America.
I find it hard to believe that, outside of work computers, many people would be choosing Windows over Mac or Linux, especially is AI is their goal.
I’m sorry, why? Microsoft basically owns OpenAI and has begun integrating it into their products. Apple doesn’t have any AI capabilities beyond Siri.
As far as I know the expectation is he’ll start week 1.
So funny to call him “Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback.”
He’s going into his second season on the Jets.
Fleetwood Mac: music for, by, and with cheaters.
I really like my job but if they started monitoring my data like that I’d absolutely quit. There’s already a monitoring mechanism, it’s called your boss needing you to complete tasks on time. If you’re doing that, the only thing data monitoring does it falsely call out people who are doing their work.
If by “they” you mean Elon himself then yes and it sure is getting dumb.
Makes me wonder if we could get an open source Google-style ad platform that only works in the fediverse and directly funds whoever’s server is being used.
There’s two kinds of oversharing.
Telling me too many things about yourself, I don’t like.
Telling me things that are far too personal to talk about the first time I meet you, we’ll get along great.
We forced the sale of Grindr and nobody even brought it up.
The “spandrel hypothesis” is the front runner explanation. Essentially we didn’t evolve to have chins but rather evolved other things that are helpful, and the chin is a byproduct of that other evolution. Not harmful so it didn’t get selected away, but not helpful.
