I wonder what people will think when they see 25% tariffs on Chevy, Ford, Ram, Dodge, Jeep, Nissan and VW vehicles? People think cars cost too much now, just wait. And if you deport all the illegals and loose construction and agriculture workers, housing prices will go up, produce prices will go up. The inflation will hit hard, which will probably lead to recession like 2008. Good chance Nissan goes bankrupt in the next 2 years, Stellantis is a mess (I have seen $26,000 off brand new Grand Cherokees or lease for $299 a month with $0 down, and $19,000 off 2025 Ram trucks already). When these big companies fall it has a trickle down effect. The only positive will be Elon will have pissed off all the liberals that used to buy Teslas before he went "dark MAGA" and once Trump turns on him for failing to cut money from the deficit, the MAGA people will turn on him too.

I wrote this post on November 7 because I saw MY investments rise in accordance to Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk's wealth also rise... I am not complaing. But I will repeat. I wonder if the poor people realize what it means to vote for rich greedy people to lead them when these types of rich people NEED to keep them poor...

I really hope they do fail in their own incompetence as the Rich need to pay their fair share and right now letting the tax breaks for the 1% and corporations so they pay a fair share of taxes to fund the government is the right thing to do imho. House GOP faces 'fate worse than death' because of its own 'incompetence': analysis From the tech side, I get accountability, but who is going to keep the House and Senate members accountable to being in DC to do their job, right now they already take 1/3rd of the year off and many times members do not even show up to vote. Elon and Vivek Issue First DOGE Decision, And 94 Percent of Feds Will Be Hit First Interesting times we live in.

I also don't believe religion should be "in" any part of government. Wait, I thought I was some right-wing Trump lover?!? 🙄

EXACTLY! Life is soooo much better staying away from that crap.

Since random thoughts could involve news: in the last few days, the gunning down of a VIP health insurance CEO in Midtown Manhattan has been shocking. Yes, we know that politicians need security details and that movie stars fend off paparazzi and stalkers. But this is creepy in that business people who aren't household words are now obviously also vulnerable. There's a lot more to this that meets the eye, I'm sure. For one, they're finding out more about the perpetrator and there was some sloppiness such that NYPD has gotten a lot of data on him in less than 24 hours and he's not thought to be a "professional." Let's hope they find the perpetrator and get answers for everyone's sake. This is also weird because I have always felt fairly safe walking around Midtown Manhattan. It's an expensive business area and there are a lot of tourists along with the regular area working folks. The world keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Sadly, with many Americans living longer due to better health care, it could take 3 to 4 decades to normalize what was considered Taboo for most of the 1900's. The sad part is why do people really care; they should be focused on themselves and not attempting to tell others how to live their life. Boomers seem to be very much hung up on telling others how to live, one reason I no longer speak to my own parents. My wife and I are living our best life now and are part of our kid's life as we help with the grandkids, but DO NOT tell them how to live their life's. We want to be a part of their life, but respect that as adults, they are responsible for their own decisions and actions. Sadly, too many parents I see today still seem to think that once their kids are past 26, they need to control their lives when in reality, they need to focus on themselves. I have come to realize that one's kids will want you in their life when you respect their decisions and choices. Respect is an earned thing and sadly Idiot47 and his MAGA crowd seems to think dictatorship of being told what, when and how is the way of life. This is a Failure Point, and it will not stop Humanity from moving forward. I respect what my grandfather's taught me / showed me through actions. Fight for one's freedom and our countries freedom, respect that each of us will have our own view and discuss through civil discussions so that we can come to a mutual agreement that is best for all. Once one tries to push a singular agenda on all, they have failed, and rebellion will happen. South Korea is a perfect example of what is happening after two years of electing in a dictator wanna be who attempted to use martial law to take over the country.
