I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

To me it just doesn’t make sense that EVs, with 1200 fewer moving parts, are costing 40k-50k in the US. China is selling them for less than half that, and it’s not cheap labor because they are building them with robots. youtu.be/CcHdqkFlz4o?...

The misogynistic fucks in the admin are trying to make it so that grad school certifications in female-dominated professions (nursing, therapy, education) no longer count as “professional degrees” & you can’t get loans to go to grad school.

Trump orders his DOJ to investigate only Democrats mentioned in the Epstein Files. He then tells Rs to vote to release them. My take on Trump's moves to gaslight Americans into thinking he wants it all out there & how the US Atty/SDNY is about to step in it big time. youtu.be/j3WBisAhkfU?...
