@hacks4pancakes @ScribblersEmporium Ok. So then, the push to return manufacturing jobs is a 1950s fever dream?

I get the sense that manufacturing jobs are being confused with higher paying automotive jobs. But those are higher paying due to decades of unionization, to which the Republicans are allergic.

Am I getting this right?

Zuckerberg: "It’s normal to feel uncomfortable or even violated as we forcefully insert AI into every, every facet of your conscious experience."

If 45 is too powerful to heed court orders, but too weak to be able to tell El Salvador what to do,

El Salvador > 45 > Constitution > US Judges > US citizens

in other words as far as 45 is concerned:

El Salvador >>> US citizens

One of the many reasons we must never elect Conservatives is that they're fundamentally dishonest and stupid. 'The guy I trusted with my life savings cannot be trusted' is such a ridiculous self-own.
