I haven't looked into this, but why aren't states creating a very expensive tier for energy consumption?

And if the problem is that it would impact other businesses, why not narrowly tailor such a tier that AI companies would be the ones impacted?

If it's going to take infrastructure to support AI, then the AI companies should fund it via taxes.

Oh, right, that's socialism according to the GOP

It's one thing to say "I'm really attracted to her, but I'm too much of an introvert to initiate a conversation"

But this is sounding like stalker-type fixation level shit

That's as kind as I can put it

Beside the point. You want tariffs? Follow the law, it's that simple

To govern within the boundaries of the law, one often needs to build coalitions. Those are guardrails established by democracy

And tariffs are perfectly legal when they go through the proper channels. So, the administration just needs to go through the proper channels and work with the legislative branch to pass such tariffs. And they shouldn't be predicated on a bullshit national emergency

US law mandates retirement at 56 for Air Traffic Controllers due to the high stress and fast-paced multi-tasking nature of the job

It's considered one of the most mentally challenging jobs there are.

Bytedance/TT put out a statement that this is BS

Huh? It's a survey

Sure, they could be lying, but why would they?

And your employee anecdotal stories mean zilch

Yep

Just say "I haven't made my whole shopping list yet, so I'll just go later when I'm prepared"

Another perspective is that a 3% increase in prices - even without non-labor inflation - to pay people closer to a living wage reflects a more accurate cost of that dining experience. It could be that the public is subsidizing those restaurants' labor through social programs that make up the difference vs a living wage

As you noted, with the real (or at least more realistic) cost of eating out reflected in the pricing, consumers will decide if that experience is worth it. And some businesses may close. And that's called capitalism

Oh that's my bad. I didn't realize only one lawyer could work on any aspect of a case at a time. I wasn't aware that criminal cases were on a very strict timeline that cannot be impacted at all through resources or prosecutorial discretion on when to charge

I would respectfully argue that everybody knew that there was an election coming that Trump was going to run in, and there was a possibility of him winning it. And that should have dictated the timeline to bring charges. And if that meant more resources or bringing fewer charges, or whatever, that should have been the game plan.

If you believe he's guilty, you don't give him time to run out the clock

Not sure about how it feels on the skin, but here's a good explanation of how Low-E glass coatings keep homes cooler in the summer
