I agree. Crazy as it sounds but in the electorate’s mind they blame the Democrats and DEI for their economic struggles. I blame the ineptness of the Democratic Party that in the voter’s mind Trump represents the working class.

When Biden ran, he pointed to his working class roots at every opportunity. I believe what cost the election was that KH simply was not believed by the people working minimum wage and couldn’t afford rent.
Why would the risk of either being injured or treating injury require you to be the target of bullying or a bully?

Wouldn’t it be in your best interest to be kind and supportive to one another in such a dangerous / difficult environment? That way everyone is happy and confident and focuses on the stresses of the job, not the stress of being bullied or being cajoled into bullying for the sake of conformity?

What you’re describing sounds like it really only appeals to a certain kind of person, and I don’t understand how that kind of person makes a better welder.

It’s not the economy. It’s the charisma.

Look at the history and you will see Americans want someone at least somewhat charismatic as their leader.

Hilary and Harris have less charisma than my cat. They were simply unelectable.

A choice with a slightly more charismatic person and we would see different results in my opinion

Furthermore, and sadly in my opinion, I am not convinced that Americans are ready for a female president. Give it another 20-30 years
> If your change is no more durable than a single election, you didn't accomplish shit.

That is the way that the country works! The system is working as intended if a single government appointment can't unilaterally destroy monopolies in a single term.
The way I see it is that Trump’s policies, if acted upon, will have a delayed effect. I see it as a major event contributing to the rebirth of authoritarianism in the 21st century. I think selfishly doing Trump’s America for four years by pumping money into oil production, cutting back on contributions to global stability, and creating distrust in alliances could have disastrous consequences over the next couple of decades. I believe the current structure of techno-feudalism will only become more concrete with the erosion of science and education. Whether there are immediate consequences to this leadership or not, I’m very pessimistic for the future.

What are some other perspectives or predictions regarding how things will go under this current Trump admin; namely foreign policy, global stability, and school system reform?
The original intent of bitcoin was to be a currency so that's how it was evaluated. The point of this thread is that despite it's increasing popularity it has never functioned as a currency. Calling it an asset is dubious since it carries no equity nor pays a dividend nor is it tied to the performance of any institution. That's why I say commodity since it trades most akin to gold although gold (like most commodities) can actually be physically used for things.
Does that include the 2000s tech crash? AI winters?
You do realise that economic policy takes on average 2-3 years to take effect?
"Law and order" was clearly a dog-whistle for 'treating suspects and minorities badly will make you feel safer' from the start . As evidenced by the blazing hypocrisy in a fucking felon running on "law and order" from a straightforward interpretation.
The US is not directly involved in any of those situations and all of those situations have consequences for the US even if they are not involved, especially Taiwan.
(As a user) Is the Jetbrains model realistic at all for your use case? They charge a monthly fee, but if you stop a subscription, you can keep using the last version you paid for with no further updates. They also offer long term loyalty discounts to encourage subscribers to stick with them past the expiration.

Carrot, not stick, I suppose.
Exactly what should government do to fight global inflation largely
Caused by fuel prices? Perhaps try to decarbonise… but that’s not very MAGA is it? The reality is inflation is lower in the US than much of the rest of the world and the US economy has weathered recent shocks better than most.
Obama is a Democrat. Neither Biden, nor Harris, nor AOC pushed for Medicare for all when it was probably the easiest and most helpful time to do so; during a pandemic.

I brought up Obama's actions because it was just the ongoing legacy of neoliberalism that started under Clinton. They thought they would win elections by "going to the middle", and this is what happened.

Obama was also campaigning for Harris.

The Democrats are now the part of war and corporations and I was just done with it all.
I am having a heard time reading his exact words and understanding them to mean something else. When he says to 'my beautiful Christians' that in four years you won't have to vote again, what is he trying to say? What is the missing context?

It's fascinating for me to watch these comment threads blow up, I hadn't thought this would take off so much.

It's a constant stream of "but my guys don't do this" "but my guys do do this".

It's all just rephrasing of, well, this is the highbrow culture, and this is the working class culture, and I'm in one or the other and you're abnormal.

The reality is that it's just two different worlds and where they clash things get weird.

Looking at _so many_ responses to my post, almost none of which actually have new content, makes me think this is some sort of dead internet bots vs. bots contest.
Because progressives refuse to make any concessions, even reasonable ones. The border is perhaps the best example. They won't simply concede to having a secure border, with or without comprehensive immigration reform (i.e., amnesty). Meanwhile, the American people see stuff like this, and rightly get angered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7TNP2OTY2g

These are people flying commercial from another continent, and coming from a country, China, that is not only a geopolitical adversary of ours, but is projected to economically overtake us, and are coming here only because their economy has seen some recent slowdown. Purely economic migrants taking advantage of us.
for a lot of stuff we make from rubber various types of silicone polymers would probably work too.
I don't buy it. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. There were investigations by the GOP into 2020 voter fraud for the last 4 years, and nothing of note was discovered. To go from that lack of evidence to large amounts of fraudulent votes is a bit much for me.

Other explanations could include things along the lines of unemployed people/people at home (COVID) having more time to get into politics. Or, this election cycle burning them out, or Gaza, or all of the above and more.

It doesn't represent what 'America' wants. Elections are dispute resolution mechanisms so people can move forward and get something done, but the dispute remains the same today as it did on Monday.
Trump wasn't convicted of rape. He lost a civil defamation lawsuit brought by an ex-girlfriend turned political activist.
The Hitler comparison is just so lazy and I don’t think you can honestly believe it, unless you solely listen to the out-of-context sound bites used by his political opponents to attack him (ex. the Cheney thing recently).
> I don't see how it refutes the broader point that not having socialised medicine creates all kinds of diabolical dynamics in society that punishes you as soon as you fall out of the system for any reason.

It doesn’t, which is why I said “while I […] agree with your larger point about wealth distribution” in my original reply. My gripe was about the overplayed and incorrect “Breaking Bad is about a teacher who got pushed to manufacture drugs due to medical bills” trope, not about your larger point.

> if I understood correctly he got "punished" by the system for preferring to work as a teacher than remain a cofounder and ended up losing his private health insurance this way.

He had that private health insurance waiting for him, as Elliott instantly offered Walter his position back upon hearing the bad news. Walter simply refused that offer and decided that getting involved in manufacturing meth was more fun and rewarding to his ego.

> Also, I think that the fact that his wife offered to burn her savings to fund his medical expense will be very difficult for most men to accept it is not really an "out"

Walter’s wife didn’t offer that. It was Elliott (the cofounder) and his wife that offered it, both of whom are close friends of Walter and are multimillionaires due to their company’s success. They themselves said that for them it wouldn’t be a financial hit at all, and they insist on helping out their close friend in need.
A nice demonstration of how JSON is a stupid way to manage complex text documents.

To be clear, trans people face much more violence than you would think. It doesn't help when the GOP runs ads showing "trans women" as burly grown men who beat up little girls. Yes, that's real.

It's very difficult to not see the right's treatment of trans individuals as a slow genocide. Not only do they offer them no protections, but they also take healthcare rights away. But worst of all, they demonize them as monsters and sic their followers on them. The GOP doesn't actually need to kill trans people, it just needs to convince people to kill trans people. So far, that has been incredibly effective.
Maybe it's just cope for the massive disappointment I'm feeling about the state of my country, but I'm somehow also disappointed that you could somehow read my comment and misunderstand it so badly. Of course I wasn't arguing that people should not talk to one another.

Republicans calling Democrats warmongers is probably one of those hypocritical things I'm seeing in recent years.
> dirty old women who are still stuck in the past

This counts as an inflammatory statement. Even thinking this is beneath a person of fairness. Those are people too. And you may not like the era they were in and you may want to redefine the era of today to some lala make-believe, but at no point should you disrespect and denigrate the people who don't buy in to your redefinition.

It is like saying: Windows developers are stupid and stuck in the past because they cannot get in line with programming on a mac. come on! they don't have to. And they don't want to.
Keep a level head:

1. Get/renew your passport. Unlikely to be needed for anything other than leisure, but prudent to have.

2. Talk with a financial advisor about diversifying your portfolio. Make sure your financial investments aren't completely US dollar based. In other words, make sure you have investments in foreign markets. Realize the bulk of your investments will still be in American markets.

3. If you live in an area that has required FEMA assistance, realize that assistance may not be forthcoming. It's never a bad idea having a few days of food and water on hand in case of emergency - but you're preparing for natural disasters, not political disasters. Just expect to deal with natural disasters on your own with little to no federal assistance.

4. It never hurts to invest in defense. You're not preparing for war, but since you may be on your own when dealing with natural disasters that may result in increased looting, you need to be able to defend yourself. Whatever defense you invest in, make sure you've also invested in the know-how for how to use it.

5. It never hurts to keep more cash on hand, as you've said. Consider keeping a small cache of cash safely in your home. If you need to make a quick getaway due to a natural disaster, it's advantageous to have some cash. As you've mentioned, keep more cash in your bank as well to help weather larger storms.

6. Grow your own food. Develop your green thumb. Gardens kept a lot of people fed during the Depression. Learn how to can as well.

7. Work on having a survival pack. Collect everything you need for an emergency and have it ready to go. There are a lot of "prepper" YouTube sites to give you ideas of what's useful to have in the event of an emergency.

8. Identify another area in the US you could go where you would be impacted less by these kinds of events. Ideally, you should arrange to go there before you need to, but at least have it in your back pocket.

9. Doesn't hurt to identify a country you could go to should it be advantageous to leave the US for any reason. Keep in mind that all Americans are thinking Canada and Western Europe. I would recommend finding a place that would be thrilled to have you and would be more advantageous to be there than the US. Make sure if you have to leave for whatever reason, you won't be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. While it may be rare for most people, you may find it advantageous to emigrate there now.

10. Don't lose hope. Though the Depression was certainly bad, there was still business being done and gains to be had. Take stock in the things you enjoy and ensure you have them in your emergency pack.
I don't think "humans/animals learn faster" holds. LLMs learn new things on the spot, you just explain it in the prompt and give an example or two.

A recent paper tested both linguists and LLMs at learning a language with less than 200 speakers and therefore virtually no presence on the web. All from a few pages of explanations. The LLMs come close to humans.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.16575

Another example is the ARC-AGI benchmark, where the model has to learn from a few examples to derive the rule. AI models are closing the gap to human level, they are around 55% while humans are at 80%. These tests were specifically designed to be hard for models and easy for humans.

Besides these examples of fast learning, I think the other argument about humans benefiting from evolution is also essential here. Similarly, we can't beat AlphaZero at Go, as it evolved its own Go culture and plays better than us. Evolution is powerful.
I have no idea what you just said. Industry lead by Trumps? You're generalizing and stereotyping far too much.

This world would be a lot better off with less generalizing and stereotyping all 'round.
Please, don't shoot the messenger.

I promise you this is not the case.
And it was just high inflation (albeit still lower than the inflation in other countries). Not the depression Weimar Germany had experienced in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Meh, I personally like it. It's a bit of liberating feeling to never, ever think about health insurance here in Vancouver. Obviously has ups and downs (especially for non elective surgeries), but it's my personal preference.
Does this not get exhausting?
The USA is sort of like two separate countries that share a common geography. Muggings and other violent street crime are largely confined to a handful of neighborhoods in certain cities. In my city we have literally zero shootings most years. So people have completely different experiences depending on where they live and end up talking past each other.

The whole problem with "someone like Trump" is that if said expert tells him he's wrong, then said expert is gone in short order.

This is why autocracies and oligarchies are bad. Not because they're just de facto evil, but because they produce undesirable outcomes, often even undesirable by their own standards (see: Russia's ongoing 3 day special military operation in Ukraine)

Every single person around him is playing a loyalty test. Thank god Fauci was expert enough to navigate that dynamic so delicately, but most others don't have the talent or appetite for it.
Forgot to mention - get new electronics now. Tariffs will increase the price of electronics. If there's anything you're thinking you might need over the next couple of years, then now is the time to get it.

I'm a citizen of a country where the authoritarian leader captured the state and mostly destroyed democracy.
So we managed to find out whether he was a danger to democracy or not (he was). What sucks, is that when it is proved, then there is already too late to do anything about it (because by definition you can not send them away in an election).
So my 2 cents: if there are any signs that someone is a risk to democracy, it is better be safe than sorry, and just choose a different candidate. Everything else can be corrected in the next election, but not this.
> We saw firsthand what a Trump presidency was like. He wasn’t Hitler.

This is something that I don't understand coming from the Trump camp. Concerns about Trump are dismissed as unsubstantiated despite the fact fact that Mike Pence, Mike Esper, John Kelly, and Mark Milley have all called Trump a threat to US democracy. These are people who held positions of power in his first admin and they warned us that the second one would be worse. Maybe you could reasonably dismiss the opinion of one, but all four? When does the weight of the evidence tip the scales?
The opposite of lift and shift is rearchitecting for auto-scaling. Pretty much every price advantage comes from using the fact that the cloud provider absorbs the cost of idle resources instead of you.

So you either adopt serverless patterns (the kind of serverless that means scale to zero and pay nothing when you do) or you adopt auto-scaling, where you shut down instances when traffic is lower, to minimize idle time. Or both.
There have been cheap EVs in the US. Nissan Leaf and chevy bolt were comparably priced to other econ sedans. No one bought them.

Why don’t they do so now if they don’t even use it anymore?
I'm a single issue voter: 1A, and I voted for Trump. You left label so many things you disagree with as misinformation and hate speech and racism, to the point that the Robert Reich wrote on The Guardian to call for the arrest of Elon Musk and I quote: "Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn’t stop disseminating lies and hate on X.". Yet, you left never define what misinformation is and specify who the arbiter is. Tim Walz had the audacity to say that “no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy". You left aren't angry at Elon Musk because he censored the left, but because he allowed people who disagreed with you to speak. The list can go on. You guys attacked Trump supporters so hard that so many people were not willing to acknowledge that they supported Trump, especially in a blue city. That's just wrong.

On the other hand, the left media created hoax after hoax that are thoroughly debunked by the left-leaning fact checkers like Snopes. Obama still used the Fine People[1] hoax on national TV last week. The DA in NY charged Trump for "In July 2020, the Trump Organization received an appraisal with a value of
$84.5 million, but on the 2020 Statement the Trump Organization valued Trump Park
Avenue at $135.8 million."[2] But isn't that what practically every home seller does? We estimate how much our properties are worth, and the band sends out an appraiser? To me, that's just blatant law fare.

For all I know, only evil states like Soviet Union and China (before 1978, at least) used morality, misinformation, and identity politics to control their people. Such states deserve a big middle finger up their you know what.

Spent a lot of time in hunting and fishing parties with near constant teasing and in those situations its usually the rudest and most egotistical jerk who doesnt laugh and enjoy. They cross the line repeatedly, everyone takes it in good nature while internally counting the incidents, then eventually someone takes them down a peg and they act like a child.
> i don't know how anyone is accusing him of using or misusing the military

Because he explicitly stated he wants to use the military domestically to retain power and clean out the US?

Are we really meant to just... not believe the words Trump says? On the topic of Trump?

It was the obvious: Mail-in votes favor Democrats. There were more available mail-in vote systems in 2020 due to covid.

Mail-in voting favoring democrats is well known, and is why the Republican party vilifies it and and anything that may be biased toward Democrat votes.
The trades need to change then. What you and others are so blithely defending in this thread is textbook toxic behavior.
I'd argue that the war in Ukraine was caused by the State Department being weakend and not being able to effectively deal with Russian plans to invade. Yes the US economy has been phenomenally succesful over the last 8 years and thats in no small part due to Trumps deregulation of the oil industry which has become the largest in the world. But in the mean time China is dominating renewables which is the future. People also voted for Trump because they're feeling economically insecure, the distribution of wealth is skewed to the rich. the US middle classes have not been a beneficiary of this economic bonanza at all. Which explains why they voted Trump. So either wages have to rise significantly for them, which means corporates endure lower margins or prices fall because of a massive supply side boom, which can be met domestically because it would be inflationary, and cant be met by imports because he's promised to impose 20% tariffs on everyone. Is a circle that cant be squared.
