Can someone please explain to me like I’m 5 years old why a nation that is $38.5 trillion in debt is giving aid to any foreign nation on earth?

The left has a clear solution to unaffordable homeownership: socialism. It’s not a good solution, but it’s easy. What has the right come up with? Haven’t seen anything coherent. This is the most important issue of the generation. The right needs to figure it out.

It’s incredible how basically overnight On Clouds replaced Nike and became the go to daily shoe

one under discussed part of the mamdani campaign was the usage of the video filters. every video used the same soft, humanizing tone consistently. it crafted a world around him. an aesthetic, almost utopian one. close shots, warm tones, delicate pacing. it framed him as the delivery vehicle for a better feeling reality. beautifully cinematic. no surprise, his mom is a well known filmmaker. this was vibe warfare. & he won. you have to understand how modern culture works in order to partake in it no matter what your underlying mission is.

As an experiment, trying out a fast of indefinite length. Plan A is 72 hours but might decide to extend it. Will post updates under this thread.

A great example of poor journalism driven with a high level of negative bias: - Blunt false assertions ("he made a Nazi salute") - Reasoning and conclusion based on likely Manipulated and biased survey. - Minimization of biggest factor in sales drop (factory lines update) and maximization of a smaller factor (drop correlated to Elon behavior). - Very exaggerated catchy title stating a wrong assumption with no strong basis as definitive certainty. A survey with a 100 000 people sampling size and you consider it a serious survey? Such size can obviously be done only online, with no guarantee for an equilibrated representative panel, and many easy way to manipulate it towards a desired outcome. If Elon did a survey with 1 million of his followers responding, would you consider it objective an representative of the global opinion? It's sure that some people will probably decide to avoid Tesla, but there is a very low probability that these would even exceed 30% of potential ev buyers. Because most people are not stupid enough to believe that a real nazi person would be defended repeatedly by many Jewish people including Netanyahu. Because many people are not going to buy a worse alternative option for a higher price. Because many people are aware that Tesla produces the greenest cars in their respective categories. Because most people are aware that Tesla employs more than a dozen thousands employees in Germany. Because more and more people are realizing that Tesla cars have the highest safety ratings in crash tests. Because more and more people are realizing that Tesla is offering all safety features and future software updates for free. Because most people still have sufficient common sense to balance all the advantages of a Tesla car versus a few posts of it's leader they may not agree with.
