| IsambardPrince | I looked at some money market accounts and they are tending to return about what a good bank CD does, only with no insurance. | Feb 26 00:01 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Trump's people reached in and took $80 million dollars out of NYC's bank account that was earmarked for this. | Feb 26 00:19 |

| IsambardPrince | Ahh. | Feb 26 00:21 |

| IsambardPrince | But they don't actually go in until the state makes drawdowns. | Feb 26 00:21 |

| *IsambardPrince has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Feb 26 00:34 | |
| nobody | "Various aspects of CP/M were influenced by the TOPS-10 operating system of the DECsystem-10 mainframe computer, which Kildall had used as a development environment." | Feb 26 00:34 |
| MinceR | is that how we play this game? | Feb 26 00:36 |
| psydruid | apparently | Feb 26 00:37 |
| psydruid | the boner for Microsoft stuff is huge here today | Feb 26 00:37 |
| nobody | this wasn't micros~1 products, it was DEC which is defunct since 1998 | Feb 26 00:38 |
| MinceR | if CP/M is TOPS-10, then surely hp is DEC | Feb 26 00:38 |
| psydruid | and conveniently forgets mentioning Multics | Feb 26 00:38 |
| psydruid | HP *is* DEC after gutting everything that made DEC DEC and made HP HP | Feb 26 00:39 |
| nobody | the important detail is this: most *nix/linux are booted with 16 bit real-mode BIOS | Feb 26 00:39 |
| psydruid | no, it's not | Feb 26 00:40 |
| psydruid | only on x86 is it | Feb 26 00:40 |
| MinceR | most linux systems are booted with some ARM-specific boot firmware | Feb 26 00:40 |
| nobody | and again, you missed the bootstrapping chain | Feb 26 00:40 |
| nobody | ARM hasn't got any | Feb 26 00:41 |
| nobody | none at all | Feb 26 00:41 |
| MinceR | so ARM devices can never run anything? | Feb 26 00:41 |
| psydruid | yes | Feb 26 00:41 |
| nobody | most if not all of their stuff was cross-compiled from some x86 host | Feb 26 00:41 |
| psydruid | ARM is imaginary | Feb 26 00:41 |
| nobody | their bootstrapping chain is | Feb 26 00:41 |
| MinceR | "ARM doesn't exist, it can't hurt you" "ARM:" | Feb 26 00:42 |
| psydruid | what is the x86-dependent bootstrapping chain for ARM? | Feb 26 00:42 |
| nobody | x86 got a bootstrapping chain, arm hasn't, ARM got cross-compiled (not bootstrapped) from x86 hosts | Feb 26 00:43 |
| nobody | same with RISC-V, that's why it's entertaining | Feb 26 00:44 |
| psydruid | where is the x86 bootstrapping chain? | Feb 26 00:44 |
| nobody | bootstrappable.org salvaged some, although it didn't break circular dependencies completely | Feb 26 00:44 |

| IsambardPrince | That salt is still going all over the place even though it hasn't snowed in weeks. | Feb 26 00:45 |

| nobody | which they kept on lecture until few years ago, but ported this to RISC-V meanwhile | Feb 26 00:48 |
| psydruid | I'd rather have free u-boot than some closed source BIOS | Feb 26 00:48 |
| nobody | that's a valid argument, nonetheless u-boot load hasn't got a bootstrapping chain | Feb 26 00:49 |
| nobody | simple as that | Feb 26 00:49 |
| nobody | er | Feb 26 00:49 |
| nobody | and that's the honest answer some GNU guys will give you in their bootstrappable channel | Feb 26 00:50 |
| MinceR | i think two senses of bootstrapping got entangled here | Feb 26 00:50 |
| nobody | i think you weren't aware of the definition of bootstrapping | Feb 26 00:50 |
| nobody | but to my understanding GNU invested significant efforts into salvaging a bootsrappting chain | Feb 26 00:51 |
| nobody | and the one they got is mostly complete for x86, not ARM, not RISC-V, x86 | Feb 26 00:51 |
| nobody | although there is significant effort for RISC-V, i fear they'll end up with the chaos that ARM is with regards to this problem | Feb 26 00:52 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.ctvnews.ca | Petition asking PM to revoke Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship garners support | Feb 26 01:49 | |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Skimmed the regulation they're trying to kill. | Feb 26 01:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Seems like something Biden left behind intentionally that doesn't do anything important but he knew the Republicans wouldn't want to leave there. | Feb 26 01:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Forces them to waste time dealing with something. | Feb 26 01:51 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a clock running for the CRA before you can't use it on a rule anymore. | Feb 26 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | So you leave behind a bunch of rules the other party doesn't want and they have to waste floor time getting rid of them one at a time. | Feb 26 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I told a Trump supporter: | Feb 26 02:05 |
| IsambardPrince | "I know you can't grasp why people fight for others. It's a character flaw among Cluster B Personality Disorder types, like the MAGA cult. They cannot fathom what it is like to be another person. They have no empathy. They only do what they think will serve themselves. It's called the Dark Triad for a reason. Sociopathy and Narcissism are closely related, and are intertwined with DSM-defined mental disorders such as antisocial | Feb 26 02:05 |
| IsambardPrince | personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I've met a lot of MAGA people and I've come to expect that they fall somewhere within Cluster B most of the time. | Feb 26 02:05 |
| IsambardPrince | My conclusion comes from the fact that these people tend to exhibit impulsive and reckless behavior, are generally emotionally unstable, have callous disregard for others, a lack of remorse, frequently suffer from delusions of grandeur, and have other issues. | Feb 26 02:05 |
| IsambardPrince | When you remind Trump supporters that there are "other people in the world", it frequently leads to an explosive meltdown." | Feb 26 02:06 |
| MinceR | indeed | Feb 26 02:06 |
| MinceR | and yet, curiously, many of them are harming themselves viciously | Feb 26 02:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Like my mother. | Feb 26 02:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Penniless and cries and hangs up the phone when I ask "Are you paying the credit cards? I really want to see you stop losing." | Feb 26 02:08 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Neuro-Linquistic Programming does not work with my mother. | Feb 26 02:09 |
| IsambardPrince | I've tried it. | Feb 26 02:09 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, There's basically two ways you can frame statements. Positive, and negative. | Feb 26 02:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Using "and" is positive, using "but" is negative. | Feb 26 02:10 |
| IsambardPrince | People sometimes respond better to criticism if you can work in the positive over the negative. | Feb 26 02:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Like "I noticed you were our top performing employee last month, and you missed your quota this month." | Feb 26 02:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Or.... | Feb 26 02:12 |
| IsambardPrince | "I noticed you missed your quota this month, but you were our top performer last month." | Feb 26 02:13 |
| IsambardPrince | With and, you put the emphasis on crediting their achievement last month. This month becomes constructive criticism. | Feb 26 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | With but, you put more emphasis on missing the quota this month and make the footnote that they're capable of more. | Feb 26 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | By using "but", you put them on notice that they need to shape up. | Feb 26 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | You're not going soft on them. | Feb 26 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | NLP is not scientific though. It was never accepted by mainstream psychology. | Feb 26 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Unfortunately, crude manipulation tends to be the most effective. | Feb 26 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Because it directly exploits people's feelings of what is expected of them. | Feb 26 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | A manipulator can have no background in psychology whatsoever, and be very good at it. | Feb 26 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Their goal is to fuck with other people's thoughts and feelings. | Feb 26 02:17 |
| admfubar | whooda thunk that cheaper is what people are looking for in an ev? https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Europes-Automakers-Shift-Gears-Towards-Affordable-EVs.html | Feb 26 02:29 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Europe's Automakers Shift Gears Towards Affordable EVs | OilPrice.com | Feb 26 02:29 | |
| nobody | that's all propaganda and distractoin, Tesla type EVs are not designed for mass production, it's the financial utility to harvest "carbon certificates" | Feb 26 02:32 |
| nobody | big car makers may either produce EVs themselvs or they must acquire those carbon certificates, from Tesla | Feb 26 02:34 |
| admfubar | try it! just give it a wipe... https://www.linuxlinks.com/arsh-statically-typed-scripting-language/ | Feb 26 02:34 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-arsh - statically typed scripting language - LinuxLinks | Feb 26 02:34 | |
| nobody | the rationale behind is the permission to produce as many combustion engine vehicles as possible, which "climate agreements" regulate with certificates | Feb 26 02:35 |
| nobody | EU is dictating maximum carbon emissions for combustion engines, which can be compensated by EV engines produced | Feb 26 02:36 |
| nobody | the trick is, noone wants to buy nor mass-produce those, hence EU got a leverage for taxation which it didn't have before | Feb 26 02:37 |
| nobody | Tesla/USA seem the main benefitiary (and whoever else was a "shareholder", such as norwegian pension fund) | Feb 26 02:38 |
| nobody | the scandalous aspect is this, EU is rating "EV engines" as "carbon neutral", even when their batteries were re-charged with electricity from coal power plants | Feb 26 02:39 |
| nobody | which then, enabled their next propanda plot for another subsidy scam: "renewable energy" | Feb 26 02:39 |
| admfubar | sounds like the uefi scam | Feb 26 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/02/25/repub/dhs-will-require-migrants-without-legal-status-to-register-with-u-s-government/ | Feb 26 02:39 |

| nobody | it's much worse, because the subsidy scam for "renewable" surpassed a trillion cash in germany alone, round about | Feb 26 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | “If you leave now, you may have the opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. | Feb 26 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Ah yes, the American dream. I'd recognize it anywhere. | Feb 26 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Especially the part where the Chair of the Central Bank said that soon nobody will be able to afford a mortgage anywhere in the country. | Feb 26 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | :D | Feb 26 02:40 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I posted: | Feb 26 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | "You'd be surprised what kind of human garbage has come here, flashed cash at the government and USCIS, and became a citizen. | Feb 26 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Consider Michael Pratt of GirlsDoPorn. Mr. Pratt came from New Zealand. He was rich and white, so USCIS didn't give him any trouble at all. He got a Green Card as a "small business owner" (the porn company), and eventually became a US Citizen. | Feb 26 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | He and his friend got 20 years for various charges including rape, sex trafficking, statutory rape, and production of illegal pornography (underage), as it related to hundreds of victims who were lured in and physically barricaded into the room by he and his co-defendants. | Feb 26 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdca/pr/twenty-year-sentence-girlsdoporn-sex-trafficking-conspiracy | Feb 26 02:53 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.justice.gov | Southern District of California | Twenty-Year Sentence in GirlsDoPorn Sex Trafficking Conspiracy | United States Department of Justice | Feb 26 02:53 | |
| IsambardPrince | When Mr. Pratt was facing lawsuits from the victims, he declared bankruptcy, which was dismissed when the judge ruled it was fraud, and then when the criminal charges became likely, Pratt fled the country and was briefly on the FBI Most Wanted list. He eventually was extradited to face the charges years later. | Feb 26 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | It's nice of Mr. Trump to want to make this policy of selling Green Cards official so we can get oligarchs, Russian birth tourists, and more people like Mr. Pratt, and have it be official American policy, while good honest hard-working people are being deported indiscriminately merely for not being rich enough to buy a golden passport. | Feb 26 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump's only qualification for this program is paying him $5 million to get a Green Card. Imagine how we'll get in that way, and what we'll find out after they're here. Have fun." | Feb 26 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | *who | Feb 26 02:54 |
| nobody | "no immigration into social security system" is the slogan here | Feb 26 02:56 |
| IsambardPrince | They lie about that here, the Republicans do. | Feb 26 02:56 |
| nobody | politics argue for immigration, all political parties do, but insist upon low social security standards | Feb 26 02:56 |
| IsambardPrince | You can't get Social Security unless you are a citizen or green card holder with enough work credits. | Feb 26 02:56 |
| nobody | my job placement inquiries are denied, although i got a passport | Feb 26 02:57 |
| IsambardPrince | You need 10 years, but they go by your highest 20 years, so if you work less than 20, then you get a $0 for each year you did not work. | Feb 26 02:57 |
| IsambardPrince | So your benefits are generally based on what you paid. | Feb 26 02:57 |
| nobody | they effectively strip you of your rights regardless of any green card or passport | Feb 26 02:57 |
| nobody | that's interesting too, if you're not paid for your work, it's not considered work | Feb 26 02:58 |
| nobody | nor contribution to society | Feb 26 02:58 |
| IsambardPrince | For example, if you worked 10 years, they would give you 10 years at whatever your Social Security earnings were for those 10, and you'd get a check. | Feb 26 02:58 |
| IsambardPrince | But you'd get 10 years of $0s as well. | Feb 26 02:58 |
| IsambardPrince | So you would lose half your monthly benefit, roughly. | Feb 26 02:58 |
| IsambardPrince | So you need 20 years to get your "full" allotment. | Feb 26 02:59 |
| nobody | our "social democrats" and their corrupt labor unions lost another 50% of their voters last sunday | Feb 26 02:59 |
| IsambardPrince | But the clock is frozen for any year you were on Social Security Disability. | Feb 26 02:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So those years count. | Feb 26 02:59 |
| IsambardPrince | If you reach retirement age on Disability, it changes into a Retirement check. | Feb 26 02:59 |
| nobody | my public pension fund record is down to zero effectively already | Feb 26 03:00 |
| IsambardPrince | But you need work credits for Disability too. | Feb 26 03:00 |
| IsambardPrince | The number of credits increases as you get older. | Feb 26 03:00 |
| nobody | anyway, i shit onto EU | Feb 26 03:00 |
| IsambardPrince | The EU seems sort of duplicative, bureaucratic, and lets authoritarian members who barely contribute stifle anything good and call the shots. | Feb 26 03:01 |
| IsambardPrince | While the currency more or less gets propped up by France and Germany. | Feb 26 03:01 |
| nobody | with energy bills it's excess inflation due to their corruption and mis-management | Feb 26 03:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Germany is still strong enough that it would do fine on its own. France too. | Feb 26 03:02 |
| nobody | it isn't | Feb 26 03:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Others in the EU realize they need it because of economic parasitism. | Feb 26 03:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Mutual defense treaties don't really work well. | Feb 26 03:03 |
| IsambardPrince | They turn into this thing where some don't spend and expect others to cover the slack. | Feb 26 03:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump actually is right about that part. | Feb 26 03:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Why in the hell should the US be on the hook to cover people who don't spend on their own military? | Feb 26 03:03 |
| nobody | since AfD doubled their votes last sunday, they'll fill up seats in parliament with some rather straight type of Nazis | Feb 26 03:04 |
| IsambardPrince | These sudden initiatives in Europe like Denmark going oh fuck oh fuck and spending 70% more all of a sudden. | Feb 26 03:04 |
| IsambardPrince | That's because of Trump. | Feb 26 03:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, the Nazis did not need a majority to fuck shit up sideways, really fast. | Feb 26 03:04 |
| IsambardPrince | They only needed 37%. | Feb 26 03:04 |
| nobody | although, most of the extremist fringe is subverted by government secret service anyway | Feb 26 03:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Once they were at 37%, they obstructed and caused so many problems that Hitler eventually became Chancellor. | Feb 26 03:05 |
| IsambardPrince | And from there it took something like 59 days I think to dismantle the Constitution and rule by decree. | Feb 26 03:05 |
| nobody | currently politicians argue "criminal immigrants must be deported"... | Feb 26 03:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, nothing good happens when Germans start talking like this. | Feb 26 03:06 |
| nobody | anyway, one example, there's several families living here, from Morocco, from Moldova/Romania, they're not criminals | Feb 26 03:06 |
| nobody | they're not hostile, just normal families, and i don't wish them any harm at all | Feb 26 03:06 |
| nobody | but, they and their children do not belong here | Feb 26 03:07 |
| nobody | they do not speak german language, to begin with | Feb 26 03:07 |
| nobody | the city is overcrowded | Feb 26 03:07 |
| nobody | and besides, those families aren't "poor" by common standards | Feb 26 03:07 |
| nobody | in comparison to what i remember of my childhood in GDR, we didn't afford any car, and my mother couldn't afford to stay at home either | Feb 26 03:08 |
| nobody | there's no economic nor other legal reason for such families to re-settle into germany, none at all | Feb 26 03:09 |
| nobody | Morocco is a tourist destination for germans, and although Moldovoa/Romania aren't rich by EU standards, Romania is EU member | Feb 26 03:09 |
| nobody | and such countries can provide housing and whatever families need | Feb 26 03:09 |
| nobody | furthermore, alot of money is routed through EU cashpots, to support Ukraine, Romania etc.. | Feb 26 03:10 |
| nobody | nonetheless, they come here | Feb 26 03:10 |
| nobody | few years ago, since when energy consumption of this appartment block exploded | Feb 26 03:10 |
| nobody | and that's what they stamp onto MY energy bill, not theirs | Feb 26 03:10 |
| nobody | because, poor children, this and that, doesn't make a difference such "poor" families can afford several cars for themselves | Feb 26 03:11 |
| nobody | answer from politics "deport criminals" and those "unwilling to integrate into society"... which society? | Feb 26 03:11 |
| nobody | i am fluent german and english speaker, the Moroccon and Romanian families aren't | Feb 26 03:12 |
| nobody | they're the 99% majority in the city | Feb 26 03:12 |
| nobody | it's not enough still | Feb 26 03:12 |
| nobody | EU is totally rigged | Feb 26 03:14 |
| nobody | this wouldn't have been possible, if strict EU fiscal policies were applied | Feb 26 03:14 |
| nobody | but instead they blew up finance beyond repair | Feb 26 03:14 |
| nobody | that attracted the type of migration, which it wouldn't have otherwise | Feb 26 03:15 |
| nobody | but the cities know, they can cash in higher taxes on real-estate and appartment rent, if city is overcrowded | Feb 26 03:15 |
| nobody | "social democrats" got one of their major bavarian headquarters a few meters distant from my appartment | Feb 26 03:16 |
| nobody | and the central headquarter of both bavarian and german employment agency and their financial department | Feb 26 03:17 |
| nobody | the "central immigration office" (BAMF) is 5 minutes cycling distance... right besides Hitlers former party ralley area | Feb 26 03:17 |
| nobody | it's the global madhouse center here, of immigration and international policy | Feb 26 03:18 |
| nobody | but, it's _all_ german major metropolitan areas, which were overrun with ~90% immigrants, for decades | Feb 26 03:18 |
| nobody | the "allies" intended to "re-educate" and "de-nazify", that's my interpretation of the facts | Feb 26 03:19 |
| nobody | another propaganda lie during the recent election campaign, was their focus on "syrians" and "afghans" | Feb 26 03:19 |
| nobody | although, the war that had ended almost 30years ago was the Yugo war, and that's the "refugees" who might be asked to return home | Feb 26 03:20 |
| nobody | there's no legal basis for migration from romania/moldova either | Feb 26 03:21 |
| nobody | that's not countries in the middle of some war torn desert | Feb 26 03:22 |
| nobody | "need cheap workforce", AfD, Trump, doesn't make a difference | Feb 26 03:22 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, For just $5 million you too can have the United States IRS tax you everywhere in the world! | Feb 26 03:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Sign up today! | Feb 26 03:23 |
| IsambardPrince | It gets better! | Feb 26 03:24 |
| IsambardPrince | When you have children they too will be taxed even if they've never been to the US. | Feb 26 03:24 |
| admfubar | imagines yugos being used as tanks... | Feb 26 03:30 |
| nobody | "immigration benefits labor market"... it's true many work in construction sector, but i couldn't afford any construction worker myself, or plumber or wall painter | Feb 26 03:30 |
| nobody | whenver i had to re-locate into yet another shithole appartment, i had to do it all myself alone, after working full-time as programmer or whatever | Feb 26 03:31 |
| nobody | corrupt labor unions and immigrants cash into their own pockets, _only_, all that remains for anyone else is the "generous" social security | Feb 26 03:31 |
| nobody | because it's too difficult to quantify the "value" of a few lines of code in comparison to a square meter of a painted wall, it's not quantified, hence unproductive and non-competive | Feb 26 03:32 |
| nobody | it's insane | Feb 26 03:33 |
| nobody | best argument was comming from AfD, who promised joe the plumber 70000cash/year without taxation | Feb 26 03:34 |
| nobody | insane | Feb 26 03:34 |
| nobody | but i think all other political parties we got aren't much different | Feb 26 03:34 |
| nobody | any political prominence we got, is affiliated with the "global young leaders" organization of the "atlantics council" | Feb 26 03:36 |
| nobody | they've all received the same brain washing, articulate the same word bubbles | Feb 26 03:36 |
| nobody | since 1990 they land and power-grabbed into former GDR | Feb 26 03:37 |
| nobody | it's foreign agents | Feb 26 03:37 |

| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: do what? | Feb 26 04:59 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | EVs are not the answer | Feb 26 04:59 |
| nobody | and to whom? | Feb 26 04:59 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but you agree there is an issue | Feb 26 04:59 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | global warming | Feb 26 04:59 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and do not agree with the policies put forth | Feb 26 04:59 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so don't make fun of climate agenda or climate change alarmists | Feb 26 05:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they explain what goes on | Feb 26 05:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | how to solve the issue is another matter | Feb 26 05:00 |
| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: i've saved that much on energy in recent 30years, i could drive a T80 tank each day in the city and wouldn't catch up with "average" consumption for the rest of my life | Feb 26 05:00 |
| nobody | so do what? sponsor me with a T80 and some shells? | Feb 26 05:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you can feed birds | Feb 26 05:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like your crow hans | Feb 26 05:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they do not contribute much to warming | Feb 26 05:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you could reduce power consumption | Feb 26 05:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there are things people can do | Feb 26 05:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | buying MOAR cars is not the answer | Feb 26 05:01 |
| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: now it's getting cynical | Feb 26 05:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | even supposed 'efficient' ones | Feb 26 05:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that take much energy to produce | Feb 26 05:01 |
| nobody | my energy consumption is very low for decades already | Feb 26 05:01 |
| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: each undergraduate idiot affords expensive luxury vehicles nowadays... | Feb 26 05:02 |
| nobody | that's completely unrelated to what i think, how such status symbols should be assigned | Feb 26 05:02 |
| nobody | as a merit | Feb 26 05:03 |
| nobody | but i do think, this is _the_ solution to environmental hazard | Feb 26 05:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | re "expensive luxury vehicles nowadays..." | Feb 26 05:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they do not even buy them | Feb 26 05:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or rent | Feb 26 05:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they take them out of the dealership | Feb 26 05:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I think fixed income investing could have higher annual returns than the stock market in the US for a while if Trump gets what he wants. | Feb 26 05:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like they do many "smart" phones | Feb 26 05:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | agreeing to pay monthly | Feb 26 05:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so anyone with income of 1000 euros can drive out a luxury car | Feb 26 05:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with some installment plan | Feb 26 05:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IsambardPrince: he just relies on bigotas and fantasists like your mom | Feb 26 05:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | yesterday rianne asked, | Feb 26 05:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | does your mom still support trump? | Feb 26 05:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (after all this) | Feb 26 05:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i said, i don't know | Feb 26 05:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "she prays about it" | Feb 26 05:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nobody re "status symbols should be assigned" | Feb 26 05:06 |
| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: it would greatly benefit climate in the cities already, if the cars weren't speeding, intentionally | Feb 26 05:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | cars are not symbols | Feb 26 05:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | people think they are | Feb 26 05:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that status exists only as long as people believe in them | Feb 26 05:06 |
| nobody | petroleum consumption could significantly reduced, if they weren't speeding | Feb 26 05:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | inside people's minds | Feb 26 05:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like, do you care if someone has a yacht? | Feb 26 05:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you don't even go to the sea | Feb 26 05:07 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I can tell she's starting to have regrets. | Feb 26 05:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they are class heroes only in their own minds | Feb 26 05:07 |
| IsambardPrince | But insists there was no other choice. | Feb 26 05:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Face saving. | Feb 26 05:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with a rotting body in its 80s | Feb 26 05:07 |
| IsambardPrince | She realizes now what's happening. | Feb 26 05:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <nobody> petroleum consumption could significantly reduced, if they weren't speeding | Feb 26 05:07 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Even my Dad. | Feb 26 05:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | many jobs can be done from home | Feb 26 05:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but.. | Feb 26 05:07 |
| IsambardPrince | He's not happy with what's going on regarding Russia, and Ukraine. | Feb 26 05:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there's an industry with lobbyists | Feb 26 05:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it makes a lot of money letting office spaces | Feb 26 05:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IsambardPrince: you mean, ukraine did NOT invade russia? | Feb 26 05:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and putin does NOT want peace?? | Feb 26 05:08 |
| nobody | my argument was, there wouldn't be a need for drastic changes, and climate could cool down significantly | Feb 26 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | be part of the change then | Feb 26 05:09 |
| nobody | but economic policy of EU incentivized the complete opposite | Feb 26 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and stop worrying about every small thing | Feb 26 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | do your gentoo project or whatever | Feb 26 05:09 |
| nobody | those idiots who speed in the cities, are subsidized to do so | Feb 26 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they only impress themselves | Feb 26 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and likely are stressed | Feb 26 05:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | debt, job, kids | Feb 26 05:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so that's not your problem per se | Feb 26 05:10 |
| nobody | it's a former of Terror | Feb 26 05:10 |
| nobody | *form | Feb 26 05:10 |
| nobody | they're Terrorists | Feb 26 05:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | motorists | Feb 26 05:10 |
| nobody | it's just they can't smash a car into a christmas market or labor union protesters each day | Feb 26 05:10 |
| nobody | so they're speeding instead | Feb 26 05:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that's a separate issue | Feb 26 05:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | a lack of vetting | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that didn't start with merkel | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | bringing in cheap labour was good for some companies | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for the companies | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not for germans | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like many turks | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but the same thing happened in uk and us | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like many fruit pickers | Feb 26 05:11 |
| nobody | nonetheless, Merkel too did sanction low consumption and honest work, and subsidized wasting energy | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they should pay better | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they could attract local "talent" | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and that would lessen profit | Feb 26 05:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so be it | Feb 26 05:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | profit as in greed | Feb 26 05:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like IBM moving the jobs to "cheap" countries | Feb 26 05:12 |
| nobody | yet, please enlighting me, what you think you could do about this? | Feb 26 05:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and hoping people won't notice | Feb 26 05:12 |
| nobody | sending me some more tampered energy bills to subsidize those who waste thousandfold of energy, each day? | Feb 26 05:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there are standing charges | Feb 26 05:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like daily fee | Feb 26 05:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | on top of that, | Feb 26 05:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | billing per usage/unit | Feb 26 05:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i don't know your tariff | Feb 26 05:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | from what i can gathr, you have en apartment | Feb 26 05:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and lack a choice | Feb 26 05:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | of ability to choose | Feb 26 05:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the building has one supplier | Feb 26 05:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with one set of tarrifs | Feb 26 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i know as i was on this "boat" | Feb 26 05:14 |
| nobody | the accounting for heating is done by the landlord | Feb 26 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and some tennats got together | Feb 26 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | protested | Feb 26 05:14 |
| nobody | he chooses the tarriff | Feb 26 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | as the enegy suppler was connected to the building owner | Feb 26 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | clearly a conflict of interest | Feb 26 05:14 |
| IsambardPrince | <schestowitz[TR2]> IsambardPrince: you mean, ukraine did NOT invade russia? | Feb 26 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so t hey could charge us anything they wanted | Feb 26 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i forgot the name of the supplier | Feb 26 05:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but could check very old bills | Feb 26 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, I mean technically they do occupy part of Kursk I understand, but they definitely did not do this preeemptively. | Feb 26 05:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it was a bargaining chip | Feb 26 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Russia was using it as a staging ground for attacks. | Feb 26 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | So they need it as a buffer. | Feb 26 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | And yes, bargaining. | Feb 26 05:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we leave yours, you leave ours | Feb 26 05:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IsambardPrince: we cannot trust us anymore | Feb 26 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i think this damage cannot be undone | Feb 26 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there will be no ""biden 2028" | Feb 26 05:16 |

| IsambardPrince | nobody, The idea is that there are 50,000 slots for diversity visas, for everyone in the entire world. | Feb 26 08:19 |
| IsambardPrince | The goal is to promote immigration to the US from countries we don't get a lot of people from through other programs. | Feb 26 08:19 |

| IsambardPrince | Well, public charge still applies. | Feb 26 08:20 |
| IsambardPrince | So if you plan to live off us you basically go right back, you won't be selected. | Feb 26 08:20 |
| IsambardPrince | But the public charge rule is not strict enough either. | Feb 26 08:20 |
| IsambardPrince | nobody, That's the thing. It tends to attract people who would otherwise have no way to qualify for a US green card. | Feb 26 08:21 |

| IsambardPrince | Tesla fell another 4% today. | Feb 26 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Musk is killing the brand. | Feb 26 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Investors flee because they realize that half the public is suddenly out of the market. | Feb 26 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | And most of the people who like Musk are too broke to buy a Tesla. | Feb 26 22:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump is sabotaging Musk now too. | Feb 26 22:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump turned off 8,000 EV chargers at federal office buildings that were already installed, which made the employees pay to charge their car. | Feb 26 22:43 |
| IsambardPrince | So the ones that drive Teslas can't charge them while they're at work now. | Feb 26 22:43 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Feb 26 22:44 |
| admfubar | tesla salesperson mubo jumbo to maga maggot, "what will it to put you in tesla self driving accident waiting to happen?" | Feb 26 22:45 |
| IsambardPrince | "In a report to the White House, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called for a rewrite of the agency’s finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. Four people who were briefed on the matter spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the recommendation is not public." | Feb 26 22:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The State of Montana lost a lawsuit filed by kids. | Feb 26 22:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The State Supreme Court ruled that the State had an obligation to consider greenhouse gas emissions a threat to the State and its residents. | Feb 26 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | That one kind of surprised me. | Feb 26 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Apparently their constitution requires the State to be a good steward of the environment. | Feb 26 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | And that was determined to include greenhouse gas emissions. | Feb 26 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | I do actually agree with Trump on the gold card idea, although that's a ridiculous name. | Feb 26 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | There is no part of the Immigration and Nationality Act that has anything called a "gold card". | Feb 26 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | In his first administration, DHS tried to raise the investment requirement floor for an EB-5 investor visa, but the SCOTUS struck it down because they ruled that he illegally appointed the Director, so the agency was unable to regulate. | Feb 26 22:49 |
| IsambardPrince | They ended up throwing out all of his regulations at DHS, USCIS, and ICE up to that point. | Feb 26 22:49 |
| IsambardPrince | By the time he had properly confirmed directors, it was too late to do much. | Feb 26 22:49 |
| IsambardPrince | The floor on investments hasn't been raised since 1990. | Feb 26 22:50 |
| IsambardPrince | So they should go up to $5 million. | Feb 26 22:50 |
| IsambardPrince | That would be an inflation adjustment, but you'd still be getting an EB-5 green card because there's no legal immigration benefit called "gold card". | Feb 26 22:50 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Trump now claims he's creating terms that are not defined by law. | Feb 26 22:51 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Feb 26 22:51 |
| MinceR | not surprising | Feb 26 22:51 |
| MinceR | even the pretense of rule of law is gone | Feb 26 22:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Through regulation, he can in fact raise the price of an investor visa. | Feb 26 22:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Because there is a law that says government can raise fines and fees to account for inflation. | Feb 26 22:52 |
| nobody | the typical Tesla car owner political party just got kicked out of german parliament, the "liberals" (FDP) and his leader Donald C. Lindner | Feb 26 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | So that law would allow the government to compute inflation from 1990 onward and raise the fee for EB-5 by no more than that percentage. | Feb 26 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, While he's at it, the EPA could raise the fines for CAFE violations. | Feb 26 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Biden didn't do this though. | Feb 26 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | CAFE is the fuel economy standard for the US vehicle fleet. | Feb 26 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | The fines have not been indexed to inflation since 1992. | Feb 26 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | So the fines would nearly triple if they were indexed, and it would bring in several billion dollars a year for the government. | Feb 26 22:54 |
| nobody | what's a CAFE violation? | Feb 26 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Corporate Average Fuel Economy. | Feb 26 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Basically, the EPA sets fuel economy standards for different vehicles. | Feb 26 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Such as cars and light trucks (which are allowed to get worse gas mileage than cars). | Feb 26 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | This is why the US fleet has shifted to trucks and SUVs. | Feb 26 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Manufacturers can make bigger more powerful vehicles and lower their CAFE fine because it's not legally a car. | Feb 26 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I think that light trucks should be required to get the car standard. | Feb 26 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | And the CAFE fines should be indexed to inflation since 1992. | Feb 26 22:56 |
| nobody | fuel economy too highly depends on driving characters, to avoid speeding | Feb 26 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | If you did this, Ford would be the only company making trucks and SUVs that was compliant with CAFE. | Feb 26 22:57 |
| IsambardPrince | The EPA goes by window sticker fuel economy to determine CAFE fines. | Feb 26 22:57 |
| IsambardPrince | They claim that my car will get 16 mpg city, 27 mpg on the highway. | Feb 26 22:57 |
| IsambardPrince | But it usually gets 17 city, and about 29 on the highway, in fact. | Feb 26 22:57 |
| IsambardPrince | This is not an unusual deviation from the window sticker because EPA has a standard test. | Feb 26 22:58 |
| IsambardPrince | If you can get the thing out on the highway it gets pretty decent fuel economy. | Feb 26 22:58 |
| MinceR | the orbanistani fleet was shifted to SUVs because our roads are dogshit because the government doesn't maintain them | Feb 26 22:58 |
| nobody | 17 miles per gallon is horrifying, almost 14liters/100kilometers | Feb 26 23:00 |
| nobody | i could do with less than 5liters/100kilometers in the city, with a rather big volkswagen/skoda brand limousine, diesel engine, during winter | Feb 26 23:01 |
| nobody | your 17mpg is more than triple the amount of gasoline wasted than a modern luxurious vehicle is capable of | Feb 26 23:02 |
| nobody | i am not talking about some tiny VW Lupo, i was driving a Volkswagen Passat (rebranded Skoda), which is a big and heavy car | Feb 26 23:02 |
| nobody | btw. the entire day terrorists were speeding again in the city | Feb 26 23:04 |
| nobody | it's a type of mindset with those, if give them a gun they shoot, if you give them a knive they stab, if you give them a car they speed | Feb 26 23:04 |
| nobody | problem is, police can't do anything relevant | Feb 26 23:05 |
| MinceR | the low fuel consumption of that shitbox is compensated by the environmental costs of producing and replacing parts in it when they break | Feb 26 23:05 |
| nobody | regular police, that's a civil institution, for a civilized society, while terror on the streets is a mass phenomena of uncivilized braindead idiots here | Feb 26 23:06 |
| MinceR | also the massive amounts of soot that it produces | Feb 26 23:06 |
| nobody | MinceR: i too was provided a VW golf (their latest model at that time, brand new), which had a regular gasoline engine, which consumed slightly more E10 fuel | Feb 26 23:07 |
| IsambardPrince | [My Cousin] got an insurance check this week that covered Jake's truck, which got totaled by another driver. | Feb 26 23:07 |
| IsambardPrince | They had several thousand leftover, so they're going to Disney. | Feb 26 23:07 |
| IsambardPrince | I told mom, with the Trump Plane Crashes and the Trump Hyperinflationary Recession that's starting up (all the stocks down this month, jobs report expected to be strongly negative, GDP declines incoming, inflation accelerating), they're going to regret this. | Feb 26 23:07 |
| IsambardPrince | She already has one of those "HELL" loans, you know, the banks call them HEL (home equity line of credit), but I just call them HELL, everyone in Indiana is lining up to break her legs for not paying them, they've got 5 people in the house and [My Cousin] is the only one that works, and she drives a car with bad brakes. | Feb 26 23:07 |
| nobody | the E10 Volkswagen engine required ~10% more gasoline than their Diesel engine | Feb 26 23:07 |
| IsambardPrince | So they get a small windfall, and instead of fixing the brakes and paying down some of the HELL so they don't lose the house, they go to Disney. | Feb 26 23:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Fucking fantastic. Everyone on that side has a screw loose." | Feb 26 23:07 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, HELL loan :D | Feb 26 23:08 |
| nobody | bottom line, the driving characterists, to avoid speeding, got a huge influence on fuel economy | Feb 26 23:08 |
| IsambardPrince | You get one on your house to pay other bills with, then you rack up new debt with the "credit" you freed up, the HELL loan stays too, then you live in HELL. | Feb 26 23:09 |
| nobody | with 17mpg it should easily be possible to cut fuel consumption in half, without any loss of comfort | Feb 26 23:09 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Truth in advertising. | Feb 26 23:09 |
| IsambardPrince | They are pronounced HELL for a reason. | Feb 26 23:09 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 26 23:09 |
| nobody | fuel economy too got a significant effect on emissions, so those could be cut in half too | Feb 26 23:09 |
| nobody | good luck trying to explain this to a mob of nihilists terrorizing the cities | Feb 26 23:10 |
| IsambardPrince | I just take a pressure washer to my car when the weather is above freezing. | Feb 26 23:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Fucking car washes are so expensive the pressure washer pays for itself the second time you use it. | Feb 26 23:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Then it's pure profit every time you avoid the car wash. | Feb 26 23:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Some of us try not to live in HELL like my cousin does. | Feb 26 23:11 |
| IsambardPrince | She's in so much debt on that house they'd never dare foreclose on it. | Feb 26 23:11 |
| IsambardPrince | The HELL and the first bank would be fighting over pennies worth of equity. | Feb 26 23:12 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, She was going to try to file for a third bankruptcy. | Feb 26 23:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Because when you're related to mom that's how you deal with your bills. | Feb 26 23:12 |
| IsambardPrince | You wait until it's eight feet thick and the notices are all red and not saying please anymore. | Feb 26 23:13 |
| MinceR | most citizens of nazi america approve | Feb 26 23:13 |
| IsambardPrince | And then you file bankruptcy a third time. | Feb 26 23:13 |
| MinceR | the orange cockwomble is up to 6 | Feb 26 23:13 |
| IsambardPrince | I told the landlord that we had three options. | Feb 26 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Option 1 is he pays it and the water doesn't get shut off. | Feb 26 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Option 2 is I stop sending him rent checks and they start again when I have water. | Feb 26 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Option 3 is I go down and pay it myself, get a receipt, and deduct it from the rent. | Feb 26 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | He chose Option 1. | Feb 26 23:19 |
| IsambardPrince | If I have to go pay his water bill to get my water back on, it will come straight out of the rent. | Feb 26 23:19 |
| IsambardPrince | He had thousands of dollars to come out last month and put security cameras everywhere. Then we get a water shutoff notice? | Feb 26 23:20 |
| IsambardPrince | There's cameras in at least the mail area, the laundry room, and three on the external building. | Feb 26 23:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Something's going on where he wants to see what people are doing in the common areas. | Feb 26 23:21 |
| IsambardPrince | But as a side effect, I haven't had any packages stolen and people have stopped prying open the mailboxes. | Feb 26 23:21 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, So mom complained that she was having toilet issues. | Feb 26 23:26 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Did you call the landlord?" Because she just said she was trying to find a better plunger. | Feb 26 23:26 |
| IsambardPrince | She said it was my brother, who weighs 400 pounds and breaks the toilet seat every week, necessitating a new toilet seat every week. | Feb 26 23:27 |
| IsambardPrince | He comes downstairs, takes a weekly shit, throws a whole roll of toilet paper in after it, and then flushes. | Feb 26 23:27 |
| IsambardPrince | And then it overflows and toilet water goes all over the bathroom. | Feb 26 23:27 |
| IsambardPrince | I told her "I don't suppose you've asked him to take a shit, flush, wipe a few times, flush, wipe a few times, flush? | Feb 26 23:28 |
| IsambardPrince | And she told me to mind my business. | Feb 26 23:28 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 26 23:28 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Okay, but he's asking a lot of that toilet. Maybe some fiber?" | Feb 26 23:28 |
| MinceR | i thought that was the end of the discussion >> "she told me to mind my business." | Feb 26 23:28 |
| psydruid | You would think they'd figure out how to buy a toilet seat made of hardened steel by now | Feb 26 23:28 |
| MinceR | but that costs more | Feb 26 23:29 |
| IsambardPrince | He needs the toilet seat from the planet Krypton. | Feb 26 23:29 |
| IsambardPrince | He's the favorite son. | Feb 26 23:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Go figure. | Feb 26 23:29 |
| MinceR | (sure, replacing a plastic toilet seat weekly costs even more but don't expect the average human to think that far ahead...) | Feb 26 23:29 |
| IsambardPrince | She says he never backtalks her. I told her I wouldn't backtalk her if she was paying all my bills. | Feb 26 23:29 |
| IsambardPrince | I promised to stop if she pays all my bills. | Feb 26 23:30 |
| nobody | weird theory, since the extremist political fringe was known for being subverted and controlled by government agents and spies in germany | Feb 26 23:34 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I wonder if I go in there and completely wreck the toilet, like even take out the bowl while I'm in there, I can be the favorite. | Feb 26 23:34 |
| IsambardPrince | This is like some kind of Chris Farley thing going on in their house. | Feb 26 23:34 |
| nobody | the conservatives intentionally lined up some agent provocateurs among AfD, who even welcomed some members into their ranks which their _own_ party statues would forbid | Feb 26 23:34 |

| nobody | they even welcomed some persons, who articulated on facebook and twitter representing a "friendly face of national socialism", posing with hitler illustrations among other distastes | Feb 26 23:35 |
| nobody | some of this, is intentional provocation controlled from the political opposition, for any political bargain | Feb 26 23:36 |
| nobody | to discredit and defame an otherwise, relatively, moderate opposition | Feb 26 23:36 |
| nobody | however, the gamble didn't have the desired outcome, and AfD doubled their votes regardless of those agent provocateurs | Feb 26 23:37 |
| nobody | normally, if government agencies notice any extremist fringe, they got the methods and will to destroy you | Feb 26 23:38 |
| nobody | but instead, AfD is lining up with straight nazis in parliament | Feb 26 23:38 |
| nobody | meanwhile christian convervative leader promised he wouldn't cooperate with AfD for any coalition, but negotiates upon the terms of AfD with social democrats, who reached record low of votes since 1890 | Feb 26 23:40 |
| nobody | but it's the only coalition option CDU was officially willing to accept, to join government with those social democrats | Feb 26 23:41 |

| IsambardPrince | "SPRINGFIELD — Gov. JB Pritzker’s administration vastly underestimated the cost and popularity of a pair of health insurance programs for immigrants who are not citizens that has ended up costing the state $1.6 billion since the initiative began in 2020, according to an audit report released Wednesday. | Feb 26 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Aside from inaccurate projections of the programs’ cost and the number of people who would enroll, the audit uncovered more than 6,000 people enrolled in the programs who were listed as “undocumented” despite having Social Security numbers, and nearly 700 who were enrolled in the program for people 65 and older despite being younger than that. In addition, almost 400 people were enrolled in the programs but appeared to | Feb 26 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | have been in the country long enough to qualify for Medicaid, which is jointly funded by the federal government." | Feb 26 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh dear. | Feb 26 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | "The report from Illinois Auditor General Frank Mautino’s office was published a week after Pritzker proposed eliminating funding for the program that provides Medicaid-style insurance coverage for people younger than 65 who are in the country without legal permission or are in the U.S. legally but have not yet qualified for a green card. The cut, estimated to save $330 million, was part of Pritzker’s plan to close a budget h | Feb 26 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | ole once pegged at more than $3 billion. | Feb 26 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The cost overruns were particularly pronounced in the program for younger recipients, with the actual expenditure of $485 million through the three years ending June 30, 2023, coming in at nearly four times the estimated cost of $126 million, according to the audit." | Feb 26 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | --- | Feb 26 23:48 |
| IsambardPrince | nobody, So they pay no tax and have managed to cost uus $6 billion in state and local taxes since 2020. | Feb 26 23:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Sounds like some real winners there. | Feb 26 23:48 |
| IsambardPrince | That's with the illegal immigrant health insurance, the Cook County program, the "new arrivals shelter", etc. | Feb 26 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | The food. The hotel bills. | Feb 26 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | We will never get any of that back. | Feb 26 23:49 |
| nobody | our yellow press today headlined: "60 [immigrant] children registered for and having received social security in an appartment block in Duisburg do not exist" | Feb 26 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | The landlord that runs two of the "new arrivals centers" in Chicago hasn't even paid his property tax bill on the shelters, despite bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars from the city program. | Feb 26 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I wonder if my landlord owns those. | Feb 26 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | That sounds like him. | Feb 26 23:50 |
| nobody | meanwhile F.Merz interrogates various "NGOs" in germany how those would have served public interest | Feb 26 23:51 |
| nobody | and the new coalition "partners" faces turn pale grey, with a record low of votes received, and they only coalition option welcomed by the conservatives | Feb 26 23:51 |
| nobody | the only "social democrat" stronghold remaining in germany is Volkswagen city Wolfsburg, which is confronted with proposed layoffs and factory closures | Feb 26 23:52 |
| nobody | and since those "democrats" couldn't arrange for an agreement to regulate migration ahead of the election, another plane of afghan refugees was offloaded just today into city of Berlin, into the middle of democrat/left voter districts | Feb 26 23:54 |
| nobody | there was rumors, if a re-election would be scheduled if no consent could be reached for a government coalition | Feb 26 23:55 |
| nobody | although, that's not necessary, because SPD and CDU got a majority, and too CDU and AfD would have, a re-election wouldn't change anything | Feb 26 23:56 |
| nobody | they couldn't regain the 66% majority either which is needed to change the constition (exemption from debt limit, "special military budget" etc) | Feb 26 23:56 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The House budget was so bad the Senate Republicans are saying absolutely not. | Feb 26 23:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Of course, the media reports these things and a few phone calls from Angry Cheeto and Chainsaw Man later, the Senate passes whatever it was. | Feb 26 23:59 |
