quote:That's fine to say all that. The reality is the median voter is fed the most anti-ICE perspective possible. And they don't have hours per week to go down rabbit holes getting "real" information.
I'm not MAGA at all, and I'm not cheering on ICE. But I do support what they're doing.
It's the same thing Obama did, but Obama had the support (because that's (D)ifferent) of these sanctuary cities.
Only morons can't see what's really going on.

quote:I don't disagree that Powell hasn't been great, but this is a dumb talking point. Lowering interest rates will have the effect of raising house prices...which will also "inflate the cost of owning houses".
Powell is intentionally inflating the cost of owning houses by keeping interest rates higher than they should be, all part of his effort to sabotage Trump, at the cost of the American people.
The EXACT problem is not enough houses.

Benevolent is a matter of opinion. By asking what is benevolent, he wants the interviewer's opinion of what is benevolent. I think Elon is extremely benevolent, but others think he is evil.

Prob more because Trump wasn’t president and we’ve had people in government more friendly to countries like China.

quote:Sure. I'm talking. e.g. about business trips. It turns into an absurd comic ballet of people "having to have their coffee", and of course, the coffee in the room is never good enough. And the coffee in the lobby is never good enough. And some people don't like Starbucks. Always turns into a massive cluster of multiple stops. And those coffee places aren't exactly fast. And then people have to piss more because of all these diuretics they had to consume. Which is often done at a place where even more coffee is bought. etc.
On all of our trips, the driver determines the bathroom breaks and stopping for food. Passengers should plan accordingly.
Me? I had ice water in the room and am ready to go without all this nonsense the second I hit the lobby.

Abbey Road is when George peaked. John and Paul, not even close.
One crazy thing to think about The Beatles is, despite being so identified with the 60s, they essentially gave the 70s permission to start:
She's So Heavy - prog rock
Come Together - cool jazz
Don't Let Me Down and The Long and Winding Road - gave the 70s its sound

The claim is made that, under that agreement, the US can basically build as big of bases there as it wants - and yet, if anything, US military presence has shrunk in recent decades.
What?

This is the best discussion I've seen - a Danish PM and a couple of domain experts, all talking soberly.
The 2nd guest makes an interesting point: if sovereignty is defined as "able to provide for the safety of", the Denmark is a bit disingenuous in claiming they can do so for Greenland.
She also remarks on the under-reported relevance of the geopolitics of space.
The PM raises a good question: if the US is so concerned about security, why have they not massively built up militarily in the past decades, as is its right under the current agreement.
