Intel received Lemon Socialism from Trump today.

Lemon Socialism is where the government bails out weak or failing companies and the taxpayers absorb the losses.

Intel is becoming irrelevant and will eventually be unprofitable because the future of computing is not x86.

Japan had something similar in the 90s where government tried to save jobs but ended up creating 100s of zombie companies. No product, but no failure as long as the government still gave them money.

That last landlord was a Boss Battle.

He was the biggest idiot I think I've ever seen, and a crook. He has a background at IBM according to his website.

Today we moved out on a very nasty slumlord that took over our building a couple years ago.

Last May, all toilets stopped working and we had to use a camping toilet for 11 days until I called the city and he got on the phone screaming at people to fix it when they threatened $750 per day fines.

This year, it was a broken window upstairs and people are living in that unit for months with no window.

His partner is facing 70 years prison when they sentence for fraud and money laundering in Nov.

Today while moving I found out Instant Pots have a moisture collector that clips onto the back that you won't pay attention to while it fills up with black mold right next to your food. So yeah, that's gross.

I screamed and took it right out to the dumpster. Apparently nothing happens without it except you might get some water on your counter if you don't put down a paper towel.

In my community, two pharmacies have closed recently, both got turned into Dollar Tree.

You know, we have a pharmacy desert, nobody can afford to get their blood pressure pills, but they can have like I guess, what, 10 aspirin for a dollar now?

Trump sez that "other countries" pay tariffs.

Dollar Tree had raised the price of most things in the store by up to 40%, which is roughly what they're paying in tariffs to import things from China.

Even as the items don't last and are of not good quality, and even though the prices are surging, the damned things are going in everywhere because less people can afford to shop at normal stores anymore.

On the way to his luxury golf course, Trump tweeted that he was "ordering" the homeless people his motorcade passed to leave DC so he wouldn't have to look at them, or else he would turn the police on them.

He is furious that as his administration has brought jobs growth to a standstill and wiped out nearly half the wealth of households in only 7 months (the price of many things have doubled due to the National Sales Tax tariffs), he's seeing homeless camps popping up near the White House.

The Trump Administration blamed a "coding error" for parts of the United States Constitution being removed from a government website.

The "mistake" deleted many of the powers the Constitution assigns to Congress, not the President.
