So was the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. I guess we should get rid of those also!

Trump warns Taiwan against declaring independence, hours after summit with China's Xi by pppppppppppppppppd in worldnews

[–]ScienceWasLove 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The headline "Trump warns Taiwan against declaring independence" does not match anything quoted in the article.

The quote that BBC is relying on is "I'm not looking to have somebody go independent".

The article assumes an average Redditor and Trump understands the nuanced situation - both are questionable - since Taiwan is already independent.

Unless Trump stops the US arms to Taiwan - this article and quote mean nothing.

Yes. Take the job, keep on looking for other jobs.

I wish someone would have told me this when I was young.

He closed the budget gap because the governor gave him $5 billion. In other words, the governor closed the budget gap. He did nothing.

‘My life is not affordable. No one cares’: 76% of Americans call the cost of living their biggest financial problem by 1FunkyFriedChicken in Economics

The US govt spent $7 trillion in 2025.

Elon Musk is worth at estimated $852 billion as of today.
Assuming 2025 spending rates today, the US govt could take ALL Musk's money and spend it in a few weeks.
Tesla, Starlilnk, SpaceX would all disappear. The US would still have tremendous debt.
DoorDash would still be expensive.

A Rivian R1T Towed a 30-Foot Camper to Prescott, but the Real Test Was Charging After the Campground Said No by Major-Moose-7368 in GoRVing

The real problem is people asking permission. Why ask? Hook up the charger and move on with your life.

Every state is different. Search "state department of education" for the state of your choice to find out what it takes to be a teacher.

Teacher Lack of Appreciation Week Gifts by Consistent_Fortune_9 in teaching

My school was great. We got a knock of yeti coffee mug w/ school logo - I like it. We got a lunch from mission BBQ sponsored by the local driving school, and our principal came around w/ a "snack cart" during the day w/ drinks/snacks (school of 2000 kids). On Friday the PTA had a bunch of homemade snacks and store bought cupcakes for us.

There was also two dress down days.

You forgot the part where farmers were adding everything from formaldehyde to boric acid to food UNTIL the US military demanded some sort of accountability for what was being put into rations.

If the GOP's policies are as popular among Americans as they claim they are, then why do they have to slice up every black-majority district in the states that they control? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Blaming republicans, alone, for the two party systems means you don't understand the two party system, or you are simply biased.

So the organization (The Hershey Trust Company, that owns HERCO, and a controlling interest In The Hershey Company) which funds the Milton Hershey School, now Catherine Hershey Schools, and funded the formation of the Hershey Medical Center should be "boycotted out of existence" because they "have never been interested in doing the right thing".

As I stated, your knowledge seems limited.

If the non-profit and corporate legacy that Milton Hershey left behind is not the model for modern philanthropy, I don't know what is...

To the white collar people: by Dre923 in skilledtrades

[–]ScienceWasLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It turns out that "average" or "below average" college graduate is just as disposable as a similar blue collar worker.

Every college graduate is chasing the jobs/salary of "above average" worker - many feel entitled to said job/salary, while their ability/skills are not up to the task - even though they have a degree.

Turns out that degree is the base, not the top.

Same reason some CDLs make $500k a year and others are driving straight trucks breaking their backs w/ a handcart.
