A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

remember that LLMs do not “hallucinate.” They don’t make mistakes. Put this down in your notebook: ALGORITHMS DO NOT MAKE MISTAKES. Given their input, then (barring hardware failure) they generate *exactly* the output they are supposed to.

if kamala was president ICE officers would have to show their ID before killing a guy who's just sitting in his car. and they'd have to go through the proper channels before deciding the officer won't be facing any consequences

listen here you stupid leftoid, if you just voted blue in 2024, ICE would be ruining the lives of immigrant families quietly and efficiently in a way where we wouldn't have to hear about it on the news

PSA: if you are having a visa processed YOU CANNOT LEAVE THE UK OR THEY WONT LET YOU BACK IN. I spent literal years stuck in the UK (and lost the last remaining years to see my grandmother before she passed) bc I was fighting the home office. Home Office deliberately makes it so easy to f yourself.

This is part of the problem. My pay hasn't risen either and I think that's the case for a great many number of people.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

And what exactly does Texas bring to the table for this wish list of his?

Hello the UK? Hello France??

i returned to the UK around 6 years ago i have an extra 25 years experience and i'm now fluent in two languages I earn almost exactly the same in the UK now than i did when i left in 1999 The idea that wages have grown in any meaningful way is a lie at best

Vote Labour, get Reform (in Gorton and Denton)

A vote for Labour is a wasted vote. Labour must step down to avoid splitting the vote against Reform.

"All my House of Commons seats, gone" Keir Starmer after the next GE probably

On this subject. Cheap ass survival ready meal prices

They're fully aware they only won the last election by being "Not Tories" (in name only). They know if Greens win they don't stand a chance of unsettling them with that card so they need the fascists to win so they can be "Not Reform" (again, in name only)

Starmer is talking shit. The easiest 2 things he could do is OFGEM reforms to lower energy prices and dropping the price of public transport for state owned railways etc. He won't because he is lying to you

Out of context advert lines "its just that your mouth is looking great"

no. the king isn't fine with his brother being arrested. he's sacrificing his brother in an effort to protect the crown. it's entirely self-serving. just want to point that out bcos im see'ing a couple 'gotta hand it to charles' posts and no, no, you do not have to hand it to him.

When you do aid programs, you should hire anthropologists to go speak to the locals, to see what they actually want and need, rather than just assume they want whatever you're gonna build. Same same with youth centres. Has anyone actually gone out and surveyed kids to see what the actually want?

Joe was always a bad choice.

Zack done goofed on one thing is this. Youth Centres. Maybe its my age, but only the spooshes went to youth centres. And TBH, times have moved on, I doubt today's kids give a shit about "yoof centres"

Morrissey did a song about Tony Blair Oh, you silly old man You silly old man You're making a fool of yourself So get off the stage You silly old man In your misguided trousers With your mascara and your Fender guitar And you think you can arouse us?

"So will it be the same act but with a different label?" Victoria Derbyshire humiliates Zia Yusuf on Reform UK's plan to scrap the Equalities Act, because, as she reads each of the things from the Equalities act he confirms they'll still be protected 🤷‍♂️

How can someone rise to one of the highest offices in the land and still be so GODDAM FUCKING STUPID??

But but but Labour said…

Why didn’t Kamala and Biden abolish ICE if they saw this coming ? Why didn’t they put Trump in jail for his coup attempt?

gavin newsom isn't capable of winning a presidential election. 🤷‍♀️

Why is #Labour banning UK children from using social media, & not REGULATING this foreign-owned social media? If you regulate it it's safe for everyone. Whatever their age. Right now our government is using a social media site that 💥literally MONETIZES the sexual abuse of women and children💥.

Almost all transphobia is just 90's homophobia with the word "gay" scribbled out in crayon and replaced with "trans"
