I now have folded neatly 2 fitted sheets successfully. Nothing is impossible.

@alex_prompter @thomaschattwill I missed the bit where they deleted the internet and all of human knowledge after scraping it. That wasn’t nice.

@JamesSurowiecki @CathyYoung63 I mean, in this specific case, clearly yes.

@bubblegumbword I feel seen.

@danprimack Since it’s income support, an income tax or consumption tax makes more sense. I would oppose a wealth tax morally and philosophically anyway but it would not be a feasible funding mechanism for such a large outlay. Imagine funding SS with a capital gains tax.

Sound on.

@lacherbauer @TrungTPhan WWLKYD indeed.

@scottlincicome Are they really this stupid or do they just believe we are?

@teslaownersSV Not how it works in the country. Representatives are the elected representatives of the people. I mean, that’s kind of obvious. If the president cannot get things implemented, even with his party controlling Congress, it just means he sucks at his job.

@WhiteHouse @VP Truly embarrassing.

@GrayGeezer @elonmusk This appears to be table of issued SSNs, not $ recipients. Obv there is a data integrity issue but no basis to believe these are the actual checks that go out. I'm sure there is some fraud/error but prob order of magnitude less than what ppl are hyperventilating about here

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

Is it so much to ask to have an administration that is neither doing a four-year-long Weekend at Bernie’s or openly dismantling the federal government through apparently extra-legal mechanisms? Are these the only two ways to do a presidency? Is there a third option we could try?
