Trump needs to focus on the economy more or appoint someone with more clarity to address the issue otherwise he can get used to saying House Majority Leader Jeffries.
He is working on it with his immigration policy, opening federal land for resource extraction, and reshoring industries, but that takes time. You also have the issue of people getting a taste of the NEET lifestyle during the pandemic and enjoying it too much. A lot of people that aren't working simply don't want to and are costing off welfare.

It took 30 years for the Rust Belt to be completely gutted. Even if we do our best to reshore everyone as quickly as possible, it’ll take a long ass time.
 
The democrats still have nobody for 2028 and despite doomers even their generic polls which at this point would usually be way ahead is shit for them.
Today's events are undeniable proof that they've already won the culture war. Any and all opposition to their agenda can and will be crushed. Dems could run literally anyone and anything for 2028 and still win in a landslide.

Seems like the FBI, and likely the Trump administration as a whole, is complicit in the impending death of the Farms.

Friendly reminder that Kash Patel has openly stated that he wants to repeal Section 230 following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Patel agreed with Graham that Americans both have the right to free speech and that there are limits on that speech, especially when it comes to inciting violence or affecting people’s safety.

And he added that he’s advocated “for years” in favor of dismantling Section 230, the law that effectively shields social media companies from lawsuits for the content their users post.

Null isn't exactly a wizard, he should know 'deleting data' like means nothing on someone else's computer or even usually yours. His own site doesn't 'delete' when you hit 'delete', it flags it and hides for only jannies to see it.

Anything you ever typed online is likely stored, and maybe not tied to you directly. But trying to delete tax info on something like that is especially futile. I'm not sure what he meant by 'using mint'. Linux distro? Some paid fake ignognito style 'data clearing' thing?

That's one thing that took me out of the movie Fight Club, he thought blowing up the buildings with the datacenters themselves would wipe it all. That stuff is all stored in multiple salt mines on the longest term optical and tape storage even by then in endless daily backups. Even a mass solar flare EMP that wipes out all life and dries the oceans won't delete your files stored away.

Your assumptions are based on the Democrats being united enough to actually have those results. The party can’t even fully decide on Israel/Palestine, let alone the other social issues to champion. You have the younger generation wanting socialist policies, while the older generations want the economy mostly the same, save for more money towards well-established programs. Even if the older style Democrat wins in one place, the same type of Democrat can lose horribly in another, which will ultimately create more tensions in Congress, even if the Democrats have full control. It was already obvious during Biden’s term, and I’m expecting that to just get worse for how unresolved certain issues are.
 
The big catch for tor is new users. Tor feels sketchy.
Someone sends you an onion link and you really think about how much you trust them before you follow it.
Do internet forums get new users in 2026? Idk.. I guess there are still people who "get into blacksmithing" and stuff too..
 
Intuit is declining not because people stopped buying TurboTax but because they jacked up the price of Quickbooks so much that small businesses owners started looking for alternatives and realized that Quickbooks had become worst-in-class.
Keeping 'books' is obsolete. Double booking accounting only exists because there was a delay between the banking 'funds' and the AR/AP/GL company updates. The entire concept of GAAP accountancy is mostly obsolete now except to avoid taxes, delay payments, kiting, and all that old nonsense. There needs to just be an instant bank balance of money per bank. There's no need for batch processing over days or weeks or roll ups.

All check/cash digital transfers shouldn't take longer than an email to send and verify real time, 1-2 minutes max. The banking system is stuck on OS/360 mainframe mentality. Even BTC is too slow now.

Most accountants now are incompetent and can't reconcile books anymore. And the whole concept and their jobs should and will be gone soon.

By the way, the DSA doesn’t actually win on a socialist platform. Mamdani won because DSA organizers advertised his religion to Muslims and his race to Indians, and both groups voted blindly on identity. They also engage in election fraud (see Los Angeles).

The trust fund kids who vote on ideology are too few in number to affect elections outside of backwaters like Portland.

Quaint how you think any of those places really 'count votes' at all.

But, the big spoiler in NYC was that asshole Sliwla. The Stacy Abrams and Beto of pro style fund raise with no real intentions to get rich quick. They'd have been better off with Cuomo, crazy enough but he spoiled it.

Any DSA member that gets elected will be sorely disappointed that they don’t have sole control over the budget, as those duties are often distributed between legislators and the treasurers as well. This power distribution really nerfs a ton of socialist policies, in addition to the state or federal government refusing to direct funding to their causes. “Free” healthcare, college, transportation, etc. don’t actually exist because someone somewhere is having to foot the bill (and these types aren’t honest about the steep tax increases needed to make even a fraction of this possible).

These people believe in pre-NEP USSR 'there is no money or bills', it's just all.. free. The marxism is so pure, much like islamics think, they will bring such a utopia just for their ideology all 'bills', and debts and work and so on won't be needed and it'll be instant star trek style post-scarcity once they get their power.

They're not worried about any reality at all. It's been tried before, numerous times too. This isn't new. Read Trotsky at a min to get their ideas, 100 years ago this was peddled before endlessly.

ETA: BTW this isn't a 'joke' it's what they think and have done.
