Winning 40% in an election with 67.9% turnout isn’t exactly the will of the people here.

I did a Google search for “retailers raising prices because of tariffs” and the link below was the first result. Seriously, do you really think that retailers are just going to eat the cost of tariffs for the next three years? https:/

I wish I had said all this. A comment I made earlier in this conversation has been downvoted a few times. People are choosing sides and using their votes in attempt to silence voices that question the Trump regime. Fortunately, I have plent

True. However, I think it’s important to note that the governor refused to be intimidated and continued mocking Trump on social media. I don’t always agree with Newsom’s politics but I sure like the fact that he reuses to bend the knee to T

That works because you are a senior developer who knows how to properly use the AI tools. What 10 years from now? What happens when senior devs are retiring and we do t have replacements since we replaced junior devs with AI?

The real question: why are we ok with the free movement of capital, but insist on restrictions for the movement of labor?

I wish people would stop using the term admin in relationship to Trump. This is the Trump Regime and we should all act accordingly.

I mean that the US, my country, effectively ceased to exist in its old form on January 20, 2025. The Trump regime has been working aggressively to destroy all vestiges of our democracy and replace it with autocratic rule. This is some bulls

True, but I’m glad they are making it public. The old US is gone; time to figure out where we go from here.

I don’t wonder about either. He is one of the stupidest — if not the stupidest — individual to occupy the White House.

To make it even more explicit, if the company has 100 developers, the CEO’s response will be “Great! Layoff 90 developers.”

Vegetarians not welcome. French fries made in tallow are a big fuck you to vegetarians, and I’m sure the grilled cheese cooks in burger grease.

AI is not sentient, so it does not “understand” anything. I don’t expect the autocomplete of my messenger app to understand its output, so why should I expect Claude to understand its output?

If ethics don’t influence your investment choice, then you have no ethics.

Keep in mind that most tech overlords, including Gary Tan of YC, are all in on the Trump admin. While it saddens me, I’m not surprised that there are many supporters of Trump in this forum.

When I worked as a waiter (many years ago), my pay check included tax withholding based on 8% of my tables for that pay period. This is driven by IRS rules: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc761#:~:text=If%20the%20total..

California has not had a tipped minimum wage since at least the early 2000s, and I can’t seem to find any information on what is in the 1900s.

He never lies when it comes to his grifts. He is absolutely planning on keeping that plane.

Because all that wealth gives the person an outsized ability to influence government. See the 2024 US election cycle for numerous examples.

A rich eats three meals a day, just like everyone else. They may eat nicer food, but they do t consume that much more than the average person. Indeed, the rich tend to hoard their wealth, removing it from the economy while the average perso

What about the doom and gloom that people are living? Low wages, expensive housing, unstable employment, and crappy medical care do not fill people with optimism.
