What is the reasoning against the idea? Some form of "rich guys buying visas feels unfair." Have they considered the second and third order impact? Besides helping our locals in need, this could pay for the global compassion they’re pushing.

Lee did a good job fending off the leg attack once in period two... but... I wonder why Ono didn't attack more at the end of the second period. Lee looked exhausted and his positioning loosened. Ono held his positions and appeared to have plenty in the tank. Was this a sign of respect? An American likely rushes into trouble. Ono had the mental disciple to hold position and minimize unnecessary risk. There is something to be learned about calculated restraint there.

Guess which news agency the British government secretly funded through the BBC, hiding payments as subscription fees? Reuters! It’s a division of Thomson Reuters, not separate, reporting to the same parent company as its other units, pooling funds and resources. Could the U.S. government pay Amazon Web Services (AWS) and influence Amazon Retail, or fund Retail and sway AWS? Yes! Cash to one division boosts the whole company, like I’ve seen with two-way influence at my own workplace. Has the U.S. done covert media funding? Yes! Operation Mockingbird had the CIA planting stories in U.S. newsrooms. Stuff can hide in plain site for years like Air America... some of this gets leaked years later...

Grateful that this event was put on. Lee recognized he needed to to do something different, and he went as hard as he could in a couple movements. The bigger, technically sound, wrestler won tonight.

Was he having THIS much trouble before butting heads over free speech and supporting Trump? Trouble? Yes. THIS much trouble? No.

"Find me the man, I'll find the crime." It’s not principled. It’s predatory.

What about minimal government, free markets, and personal freedom is communism?

Tired of hype merchants? yes!

Weak reply. We do not have a dictator in charge.

If we must prioritize funding refugees, we should prioritize first based on merit.

Every company has violations just like every human. If it’s good to address those, great! I question the character of those doing the targeting.

I don’t know how many they will sell, but I did think it was genius when I heard it.

yea it’s a non starter to add spending for me… not listening to what the people want… but it is what was known before…

Wild! Trump’s team pushed hard to release files... fired people, hired their own... then they delete the the files? The simplest answer is that there are still people in the FBI that do not want to incriminate certain people. They either have a fat paycheck or want to prevent the noose.

This is normal. It sucks. I've had to layoff people that I would not have done, without input into who I'd rather layoff for performance instead. It is unreasonable if the lacks email access. Does he carry a satellite device? What exactly did his email say? Did his email have a firm cutoff?

I don't follow all of the Musk investigations. But I did notice that the investigations went up after he poked the bear. And Biden's words “I think that Elon Musk’s cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at,” Biden said. “Whether he is doing anything inappropriate, I’m not suggesting that. I’m suggesting they’re worth being looked at.” And I notice people focused on smearing his character without a drip of credit for targeting wasteful spending.

If your boyfriend is a spender, and you cut him from your life, will you still spend? Give it a break with Trump this and Musk that. Geez.

I think they do because even in a wasteful job, paychecks keep the cash cycling.

Not right or left. Just dollars and sense.

Who you do think is spending the money?

That's one person's opinion. The government can keep printing money until trust or the market collapses. Deficits CAN help the economy but you can't ignore the downside of inflation, debt servicing, and tax hikes. I make a good salary and am still puking over insurance, college education, and housing costs. It will be EXCITING to see the waste cut from the pentagon. Am also looking forward to more waste reduction in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Layoffs for the sake of layoffs? Where? No, layoffs because we are spending 2T more than we take in. We should both reduce spending and reduce taxes. Reduce waste in government services. Reduce services all together. “Would I fight to keep this person/service?” No? Out! "Can you tell me what you did last week?" No? Out! Makes sense to those that want fiscal sanity.

Trump called for the release. So.... Something else. It is okay to take time to add context. Reduce witch hunting. But do it.

We are also observing good intentions crashing into bad execution. (layoffs) It stinks for the government, just as it does for the private sector. I've lived it. The trade off is worth a leaner and functional government. The clock is ticking. Go!

Why does our beloved dictator allow Rock Lobster to speak?
