@MatthewChapin87@CherieBeneteau@MatthewChapin87 It's not that far off from reality and at much lower earnings. It's about 60% is what you keep depending on factors unique to everyone. It's still disgusting for what's supposed to be a BONUS. Bonus is False advertising.
I got my bonus today at work would love to be happy about it but, apparently the govt deserves half of it. Bonus is supposed to be merit based I'd like to know what the govt did for this bonus? I guess I own shares in Ukraine now!!!

A proposed AI data center in California is now suing for access to 260 million gallons of water per year from the Colorado River.
The developer, Imperial Valley Computer Manufacturing, is seeking roughly 750,000 gallons per day (about 880 acre-feet annually) from the Imperial Irrigation District for its planned data center complex in California’s Imperial Valley.
This is a major reversal. The company had previously stated that the project would rely entirely on reclaimed and recycled wastewater from nearby cities, and would not use “a single drop” of Colorado River water. After negotiations for recycled water reportedly failed, it turned to the irrigation district instead.
While 260 million gallons is relatively small compared to the Imperial Valley’s massive agricultural water use, it is equivalent to the annual water consumption of roughly 7,300 local residents.
The request is significant because the Imperial Valley is one of the most water-stressed regions in the U.S., with every drop of its fresh water coming from the already overtaxed Colorado River.
The company claims its water use could be offset by leaving 160 acres of leased farmland fallow. However, local opposition is intensifying. Imperial County officials are considering an emergency moratorium on data centers, and several cities in the area are moving forward with their own restrictions.
This case underscores a broader tension: AI data centers are often marketed as “digital,” yet they require substantial real-world resources — particularly water for cooling, in regions already facing scarcity.

Thats how important it is to him.
In Germany, select supermarkets have introduced a thoughtful innovation for dog owners: pet parking pads.
These are modern, temperature-controlled and ventilated kennels installed near store entrances, allowing dogs to rest safely and comfortably while their owners shop inside. Developed by companies like DogSpot, the pods are designed to be secure, hygienic, and low-stress for pets. Owners can lock and unlock them conveniently via a smartphone app or a store-issued code.
The system helps prevent common risks such as dogs being tied up outside in bad weather or left in hot cars. The kennels maintain a pleasant climate year-round and feature transparent panels so dogs can see their surroundings, helping to reduce anxiety.
The US government is becoming increasingly dependent on private investors to finance its growing debt burden:
Privately held US Treasury debt maturing within 1 year is up to a record $8.3 trillion.
This figure has DOUBLED over the last 5 years, reflecting the government's growing reliance on short-term financing from private investors.
As more debt shifts into Treasury bills, a larger amount must be refinanced every year, leaving borrowing costs increasingly sensitive to interest rates and investor demand.
At the same time, foreign central banks are reducing their share of Treasury holdings, making private investors absorb a larger portion of new issuances.
As a result, the Treasury market is becoming increasingly dependent on investor demand and liquidity conditions rather than the stable long-term buyers that have traditionally anchored it.
With US public debt at an all-time high, even modest disruptions in funding markets could have an outsized impact on borrowing costs.
Treasury refinancing risks are intensifying.
