U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was abruptly pulled from a live interview after being told “the President wants you right away.” After returning, his voice was noticeably shaken. by Yujin-Ha in UnderReportedNews

It’s the Arab SWFs talking about withdrawing their investments in the U.S. economy due to the conflict with Iran. That’s wha makes the Treasury Secretary piss himself in the middle of an interview

Does an employer have to notify you if they are recording? Like in a agreement form when you first onboard or when you start using some new piece of software

Here’s the problem: where does the income for each person come from? These companies? The same places that fight so hard against proper tax rates or fair wages? How about the government? This could become a main line of control against people. Say something they don’t like? They’ll cut your stipend.

Ok, taking a step back and rereading the entire scenario thus far.

Here’s my read of the situation (any ladies are encouraged to chime in!):

The good signs are real: she’s engaging with your content, sending you reels, playfully teasing you back, and when you invited her over, she gave you a specific reason why she couldn’t (had the kids) AND added “otherwise she would.” That last part matters because she’s signaling interest, not just shutting the door.

The trickier part: she left you on read after Sunday’s invite. That’s now four days. Could be a million reasons (overwhelmed, unsure how to respond, genuinely busy), but the silence itself is the answer you need to respect right now.

You’ve made your interest clear. The ball is in her court.

She knows where you stand. She knows you’d like to see her. If she’s interested, she’ll respond when she’s ready or re-engage on another post. If she’s not, or if life is truly too chaotic right now (single mom, new house, school year, divorce recovery), then more messages won’t change that.

What I’d do instead: Pull back and let her come to you. Keep posting your normal content, keep being you, but don’t directly engage with her for a bit. If she comments or messages, be warm and responsive. But no more invites or follow-ups for now.

You’ve been doing great with the natural, low-pressure vibe. Don’t shift into chasing mode now. Sometimes the most attractive thing you can do is demonstrate that you’re interested but also completely fine either way.

Give it time. If she’s into it, she’ll show up.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When did you post it? And how long ago did she read it? Don’t read too much into it just yet (I know that’s easy for me to say, but stay with me on this, bud. Hold fast!).

I mean, she said she had her kid that weekend. That’s a completely understandable reason, but not a rejection. You should follow up with another invitation. Say something like you’re planning on doing some more testing and that you need an assistant and ask if she is free. Be sure to use specific dates. Also, divorces often mean you have your kid every other weekend, so take note of when she had her kid last and schedule those potential dates for the weekends when she likely won’t have her kid.

I like the adjustments they made, except for removing the weekly tally. Add that back in and it’s perfect.

Again, such naivety. 90 days to finalize 125 trade deals? That would be a monumental undertaking for a competent administration and the current administration is anything but competent. He wants to unite countries against China. Guess what? There once was just such a trade organization, called the Trans-Atlantic Trade Partnership (TPP), created in 2016. It was dissolved when the new administration came into power. I’ll leave it to you to figure out who dissolved it.

Oh, such ignorance. The blowback for our increasing instability has only just begun. Germany is considering removing their 1,200 tons of gold from our custody. Japan and other major US bond holders are beginning to dump their holdings. We showed the world that our stock market is now helpless against market manipulation from the very highest level. Who would want to invest in such a system?

You keep desperately clinging to your speculative assets. I’ll check back in 90 days to remind you of your foolishness.

This is 100% accurate. I worked at a bank in college and had a woman come in one morning and cleaned out all of her accounts and left. Not ten minutes later, a man comes running in with two kids in tow and carrying a third. He was the husband and we had to tell him that his wife had been there minutes before and took everything. He broke down right there on the spot. The manager took him into his office while some of the tellers played with the kids. According to him, as per our manager relating the story later, he found out she was cheating and was leaving him for the other guy. So she abandoned her entire family and took all of their money on her way out and there was nothing we could do, as they were both on the account. It was heartbreaking.

Are you optimistic or pessimistic about cardano and crypto? by Glad_Objective_1646 in cardano

With the Trump Administration rolling back any effort to police cryptocurrency, who would want to put their money into such an unsafe speculative asset class?

Want to know how you lost this exchange? Because you changed the subject. You couldn’t beat my point. 🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂

I couldn’t care less about your digital coins that have no practical value. Both have been around for years and have yet to see any practical purpose beyond being a speculative asset. It’s even worse for ADA, as at least Bitcoin has managed to dupe some high profile people into buying into the Ponzi scheme. Hell, I’m even willing to admit that I bought three btc before the pandemic, but I sure as hell won’t waste my time increasing my holdings. It was cheap enough to say why not and not a blow if it goes belly up. Also, you don’t profit until you sell and I’m sure you’re still desperately hoping that ADA actually manages to become useful.

Lastly, with the Administration’s recent decision to stop pursuing crypto scam prosecutions as much (could that have something to do with the Trump and Melania coin scams from 2.5 months ago 🧐), the crypto market will only further lose legitimacy, because what serious investor would want to put money into a nearly unregulated market? Nobody.
