It seems a shame to 'waste' the opportunity to not mention how you have typed waist instead of waste. Nice :-)

As the US stands at no.31 in world educational rankings I believe it is the the former. Even Russia is higher at no.22

Trump's tariff turmoil leaves IT projects in deep freeze

Re: FOLLOW THE MONEY!

And that's what Trump and MAGA want you to do - turn off and tune out. It's the wrong thing for non-MAGA people to do, it allows the MAGA nutters to further their destructive agenda. Where possible, stand up and be counted, or at least keep abreast of the news. Knowledge is power, even it's knowledge of bad deeds - no, especially if it's about bad deeds!

Doesn't matter - the quote probably got a wider audience via HIGNFY. And any airing of it is a good thing.

"But what if" - What about . . . etc., etc. Come on Mr Eel link to something that supports you're suppositions. TDS, if it actually exists, is far more likely to be what you have as a Trump ass kisser.

Trump isn't the Messiah - he's a very naughty boy, and likely to come to a sticky end either via impeachment or something else.

Infosec experts fear China could retaliate against tariffs with a Typhoon attack

I assume that was satire?

This is the age of the internet, very little can now be hidden. Please link to the 'obvious proof' of the stolen election. 60+ courts, including many Trump appointed judges, didn't have evidence supplied to them by the plaintiffs (Trump morons), to the point many judges told the morons to 'get out of my court you useless prats' - my paraphrasing :-) Was the only evidence on Hunter's laptop, that he took to a weirdo computer shop and forgot about? You conspiracy guys are brilliant! /s :-)

'US President Trump, citing a "lack of respect" from Beijing' - When someone asks for respect you almost always knows that the person asking for it is a disrespectful twat. Respect is earnt*, Trump hasn't earnt any respect from anyone (ever?).

EU lands 25% counter tariff punch on US, Trump pauses broad import levy hike – China excepted

Re: Trump vs the EU

It's always funny when the word 'truth' appears in a handle or whatever - VoiceOfTruth - more like "listen to me, I know so much". When they actually know sweet FA and spout BS.

Truth Social - not social, nor any truth.

Trump tariffs to make prices great – a gain

Re: High wages can be lowered

And those legitimate immigrants that pick the fruit and vegetables, how do they feel when the Trump regime is picking up people with the wrong colour skin and imprisoning them and deporting them, to possibly, a country other than the one of their origin? We (the UK) seem to be weathering the loss of Eastern European workers that came and picked fruit and veg as us lazy Brits wouldn't work that hard for the wages offered. I'm seeing more swarthy looking people around my area that work in the glass houses growing stuff for M&S, etc. My guess is that they are from further South and East. Immigration/migrant working at it's finest! The Poles, Roms., Bulgars, Czechs, etc. at least were similar in their outlooks to us, not so sure of the people I see at bus stops and boot sales.

Re: "accept the wages offered in less developed nations"

"For the offshore workers, there are no alternative jobs. It is this or hunger." - AC

Is this why Trump, Elon and their minions are trashing Social Security, etc. so US people have to work for whatever wage, so they and their families don't starve as the safety net to losing your job, getting sick, etc. is gone? Let's hope not. Let's hope too, that there are enough good people behind the scenes to throw spanners in the corrupt work of the Trump 'back to poverty' regime.

Re: Brains compromised, hypnosis or just really bad people?

If you were to compare Biden's last State of the Nation speech with the one Trump gave recently you would observe a significant difference. Whereas Joe spoke eloquently and statesman’s like, while loony Republicans shout liar at him, Trump goes on a rant and Dems (and some Republicans) laugh at him and then complains the Dems aren't applauding his madness. Joe had fun with the crazies, Trump gets moody because not every one loves him. Adult vs childlike.

Re: Proud to be dumb in government

Jou - But they are indeed the loudest.

My Dad had many sayings. One was "empty vessels make more noise". We're certainly seeing that at the moment!

Brains compromised, hypnosis or just really bad people?

We hear about the 'woke mind virus' and TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) but it seem far more likely that Trump has infected his top people with some sort of mind control. Hasn't Musk been working on some brain control thing? Maybe that's the other way around, a brain controlling a machine or something.

But really - Waltz, Bondi, Patel, Hegseth, Gabbard and many others. How can they be so bad at what they're doing and saying. Surely they can hear the things they say and wonder WTF I'm saying? It only makes sense if somehow Musk and Trump have infected (or hypnotised) these people with an actual mind virus that spouts far right bollocks and causes them do dumb things.

Re: Wipe Out

"I am also a proud FOSS evangelist, . . " what are you running LO on? Hopefully not Windows or MacOS. I've been using LO for decades, fairly lightly I'll admit - basic letters in Write, invoices with a table, simple spreadsheets, Draw and a good while ago Impress that recovered a broken PowerPoint file. Maybe in the earlier days it might have crashed occasionally, I can't remember as it was many years ago. Using LO on Linux Mint over the last 10+ years I'm struggling to remember it crashing at all, it might have done. People have differing experiences using software, there are many variables too, is it the OS that barfs and crashes LO? Something else in the machine? The few times I see Word, Excel or whatever of MS Office I wince at how horrible it looks compared to how it used to look before the ribbon appeared. If you like the ribbon, with LO you can have it, plus other view options too. If you don't like the ribbon you have to have it with MS Office - like it or lump it.
