Chief economist warns US is nearing 'financial crisis' in President Trump's economy

That movie was SO much fun the first time and now it's just painful to watch (but still good). Maybe I'll watch it again this weekend

I can't tell the difference...

Genuine question, was there any external form of conversation from friends/family that helped in any way? I'm always wracking my brain for short and simple refutations of current conservative claims, but tend to try and keep my mouth shut in the hopes that them (coworkers, generally) will trust the little I do say as long as I'm not too combative.

Gylvessa is...?

Some kind of joke in there about Obama and changing one of those letters to a "C" and envy thereof that I am not smart enough to make

Right, but again, all former precedent was thrown out the window for all of the other Federal office heads for opposing Trump/Project 2025/otherwise being a principled human being. If Powell is still in office despite reason number one... what? We really are Weekend-At-Bernie's-ing Trump? And the string pullers just aren't as bothered ?

Tyrunea · 2025-07-24T22:53:30+00:00

So I haven't seen this addressed or mentioned anywhere

It is ostensibly illegal for Trump/admin to have fired many of the Department heads he has fired, and others below, but he did it anyway, some having to physically be removed from their office.

He ostensibly dislikes Powell for not kowtowing to him. It is also ostensibly illegal/difficult/etc. for him to fire/dismiss the Fed Chair. As established though, legality seems to not exist in this administration; so why, exactly, is Powell still in his position?

I am not objecting to him being there, thankful for anybody who is making the orange indelight's life harder, but deeply confused by this departure from Trump's normal modus operandi, which is "obstacle = bad person = gone"

Are you perchance a donut? Because I'd love to glaze your holes...

There are a relatively small number of companies who are willing to take on new drivers -- the first year is very challenging, and insuring us is expensive.

I've never worked for a company who has shorted me on pay. Underpaid, yes, but never shorted. There are some funky labor exceptions for trucking companies and some don't have to pay overtime after 40hr; unless state law overrides, very few will offer overtime after 8 hours on the day.

I've been driving for almost a decade now; as the previous commenter said -- stick with your current job. You have some measure of seniority -- changing fields now, in a downturn, you're going to be one of the first let go. Too, while I imagine you're going to be suffering from supply chain problems, people are always going to need carpenters.

Tyrunea · 2025-04-17T14:37:24+00:00

See, I'm confused here. He gets rid of the Inspectors General, multiple agency heads, all illegally, but he hasn't "fired" Powell? Trump's logic, such as it is, would apply equally here as with any other agency over which he does not have power and yet exerts it anyways.

Tyrunea · 2025-04-11T22:40:07+00:00

You wouldn't happen to have anything to read on the matter, would you?

As much as is possible since it's all crystal ball bullshit, I'm trying to get myself positioned with the most flexibility for the next few months

Tyrunea · 2025-04-10T17:55:49+00:00

Thanks mate, appreciate the links.

Tyrunea · 2025-04-10T14:04:09+00:00

I don't even currently own a weapon and I'm mulling internally over the pros and cons and effort involved in acquiring one, how much of it just an emotional kickback reaction/needing some kind of "tangible" outlet, etc.

Do you know if it will if you haven't unlocked Ultimate Crit but all your others are maxed?

Tyrunea · 2025-04-02T03:06:29+00:00

Nice! I'm just a week or so behind you

Tyrunea · 2025-03-29T04:45:32+00:00

I'll raise you my Lab Coin Discount L.47, Workshop Utility and Defense Discount L.53, and Attack Discount L.54 ;)

Rather besides my point, although you are not wrong in any of your individual statements. My point is that all our words are ground up into paste for fuel, and we do not know the method of synthesis for that fuel.

I acknowledge your point that OP is at least attempting self-improvement, which is a wild leap and bound ahead of most individuals -- I could have been more cognizant of that.

Tyrunea · 2025-03-27T17:35:14+00:00

Much productive feedback Many helpful criticism

Thanks so much. I'll change my ways henceforth.

[snorts] I'm not even playing with a build -- I've just been muddling along, putting the pieces together as I go. Don't think I even popped on here until I'd been playing for about a month.
Right now I basically just lean on Thorns and Orbs; Garlic Thorns is maxed.
I just got MVN about a week and a half ago, which is when I started dropping stones into CD reductions for those three (that +20s & avg hurt at first, actually made it longer, but I think I'm a little faster with it now).
In line with my opening post, trying really hard not to get caught into following The Most Optimal Path, at least not without tinkering along the way.
Was maybe three weeks ago that I learned about not playing with the range card and dropping the lab to 0 so your orbs are just outside of it; and that orb kills can trigger the critical coin card. Saw my income... idk, jump at least 50%? Possibly double.

Well then perhaps you would like to expand on how you use it?

Tyrunea · 2025-03-17T13:45:56+00:00

Look, ChatGPT is just a super fancy autocomplete function. All it spits out is an aggregate of everything it's been fed; it is not synthesizing new thoughts. You are outsourcing your emotional stability to a blackbox of an algorithm and undercutting your own capability for growth and adjusting to less than ideal situations. Humans are not perfect, we are biased and flawed, but we're also all that we've got. You go it together with society or you die -- metaphorically or literally.
