Biden's New Lie on Record Inflation: "It Was Already There When I Got Here, Man"
From Twitchy, the inflation rate month by month 2020 through 2022:

Asked if he takes any blame for inflation, Joe "I'll take responsibility instead of blaming others" Biden said "no" because it was "already there" when he took office.

Biden's new false inflation excuse joins:
-not a concern
-it's transitory
-Putin did ithttps://t.co/ELpI4gTjYn
Biden's crowing about some hiring in January, but meanwhile, employers cut 102,000 jobs in January, and analysts say we're at the end of the period of natural hire-backs of people who were forcibly unemployed by the government during the pandemic. As well as the short-term effects of wasteful and pointless rounds of stimulus after stimulus.
US employers cut 102,000 jobs in January - a 440% jump from the same time a year ago: 'Tech wreck' spurred layoffs as expert warns 'we're on the other side of the hiring frenzy of the pandemic years' 102,943 job cuts were announced in Jan 440% more than the same time last year The technology sector made up 41% of the planned reductions during the month Economy-wide layoffs were low, but more cuts are expected to be announced More than 102,000 employees are set to lose their jobs after U.S. businesses announced some of the most brutal job cuts since 2020, new data found. Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. made the report which found 102,943 job cuts in Jan - more than twice than those announced in December, and 440 percent more than the same time last year. The technology sector has seen the most significant layoffs making up 41 percent of planned reductions - meanwhile retailers and financial companies will also see substantial changes. Economy-wide layoffs were generally low, but more cuts are expected in the coming months. More than 102,000 employees are set to lose their jobs after U.S. businesses announced some of the most brutal job cuts since 2020, new data found PayPal Holdings Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. have all made plans to dismiss thousands of workers and since Nov, technology firms as a whole committed to 110,793 job cuts.Indeed, the whole tech sector is melting down.
Is this the end of the Tech Golden Age? Apple sales drop 5% in biggest quarterly decline since 2016, Alphabet misses Q4 estimates, Amazon reports almost no profit and Google Ad revenue falls Alphabet, Amazon and Apple all posted disappointing results on Thursday Leaders of all three tech firms blamed it on a financial squeeze for consumers The strong dollar and lingering pandemic issues also hit revenues
Tech titans have been brought to their knees this week, as Alphabet, Apple, and Amazon all posted disappointing quarterly results. Alphabet Inc on Thursday posted fourth-quarter profit and sales short of Wall Street expectations, as Google's advertising clients pulled back spending from a period of pandemic-led excess. Executives of the search and advertising giant adopted a subdued tone on a call with investors, promising an extended period of belt-tightening, particularly on hiring, real estate costs and experimental projects that can take years to reach fruition.
That echoed comments from Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Meta, who spoke the previous day about cost efficiencies, and from Apple's boss. 'We're recognizing the environment that we're in is tough,' said Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. 'And so we're cutting costs. We're cutting hiring, we're being very prudent and deliberate on people that we hire.' Shares of Apple and Amazon fell after they posted disappointing results on Thursday, wiping off gains after Facebook parent Meta on Wednesday boosted tech shares with news on cost cuts and a large buyback. Gone was some of the exuberance of the pandemic when consumers flocked to the internet amid lockdowns and heightened interest in e-commerce and touchless deliveries. Shares of Alphabet were down nearly 5 percent in after-hours trading, after losing about 40 percent of their value in 2022.

Of course Biden could stop the inflation whenever he wanted to - just reduce spending.

And I guess some level of inflation existed (if you define inflation as "prices rising") because unless there's a gigantic economic collapse where all prices start to drop, its inflation in a sense. So kinda true?
I dunno. It doesn't even matter, he can say any stupid lunacy he wants. Passing along the info gets you banned on social media and most of the country doesn't even know about it. And 30% will simply pretend its not true or use excuses like the ones I listed above to brush it off.

Facebook is much worse than ten years ago. Google search is much worse than ten years ago. Amazon search is much worse than ten years ago.
It's almost as if tech is now dominated by bloated monopolies, who've stopped caring about the user experience, so long as they can figure out new ways to monetize it.

Remember: Trump was not charged with possessing classified documents but with violations of the Espionage Act, so reclassifying documents will bolster a claim that they are "national defense information" that could injure US or advantage foreign nation.

Private payroll growth slowed to 106,000 in January as weather hit hiring, ADP says
OR
Payrolls increased by 517,000 in January, crushing estimates, as unemployment rate hit 53-year low
That is an enormous gap over expectations! While the job market is red-hot, it's not great news in terms of taming inflation. There's always a double-edged sword with economic data these days.
The single edge of the sword giving workers the upper hand is he only one that matters. Wall Street is sad! Don’t fall for the wages are high and unemployment low is a bad thing propaganda. Other nations would kill for these kind of number and only 6% inflation?? Remarkable!
There's that 'infrastructure' bill which opens thousands of new jobs right now. Thanks to the remarkable negotiation skills of Democratic President Joe Biden and his Economic experts team! But hey, let's vote in the House to ignore that and condemn Socialism (while the American Oligarch fat cats have never been more overweight!).

The alleged perpetrator — identified only as 23-year-old Sharaban K. — killed beauty blogger Khadidja O., also 23, in Ingolstadt, Germany last August, according to investigators.
Khadidja O. had been brutally stabbed more than 50 times, with her body left on the back seat of Sharaban K.’s Mercedes. Sharaban K. and an accomplice — identified as her boyfriend Sheqir K.— subsequently went into hiding.
When the body was found, police traced the car’s registration to Sharaban K.’s family. Given the corpse had been disfigured, investigators assumed that she was the victim.

A buddy of mine mentioned to me recently that the dinosaurs we typically think of as "land-based" such as the T Rex, stegosaurus, and triceratops were more likely semi-aquatic creatures like hippos. They'd swim in the shallow seas covering a large portion of the Earth at that time and only come on land once in a while (breeding? laying eggs?).

That's just speculation, like the "they were all covered with feathers" bit. I mean much of the skeletal construction of dinosaurs is guess work, since we've never found a complete skeleton, and the ones we found are distorted and mangled by pressure and time. Finding one whole bone is a treasure.
Then the rest? The musculature, skin, etc, mostly guesswork as well. Its very educated guesswork, but who the heck even knows what they looked like, exactly.

Before the US passed beyond teh event horizon of government debt exceeding 100% of gdp, the question of whether the US would default or inflate its debt away was pondered by economists.
In most cases, absent large amounts of foreign debt, it is preferable politically (not economically) for a country to inflate its debt away rather than default formally and suffer a severe contraction of the economy to a sound basis. Even now, we are still at negative interest rates (interest rate received-inflation rate) so that every person loaning government money is effectively watching a portion (right now officially about 2 percent or so vanish as far as buying power). Unofficially using shadow statistics, it is more like 5-10 percent vanishing per annum.
Even at 6 percent inflation per annum, effectively the 31 trillion dollar debt's impact is halved after 12 years.

One night the temperature dropped lower than anticipated so he piled bales of hay all around the coop and placed a propane heater at the entrance. The coop caught on fire and roasted half of his birds and nearly set the house on fire. When the embers cooled, the surviving chickens ran back into the coop and had a roast chicken feast!

Increased Transparency and Accountability: Implement laws and policies that make government operations more transparent, so the public is aware of what is going on behind the scenes. Additionally, hold officials accountable through fair and impartial investigations and punishments for unethical or illegal behavior.
Reformation of Intelligence Agencies: Reevaluate and restructure the role of intelligence agencies to prevent them from having too much power and influence. Ensure that they are properly overseen by other branches of government, such as the legislative or judicial branches.
Citizen Empowerment: Educate the public on the deep state and its potential dangers, encouraging them to become more engaged in government and watchdog activities. Encourage citizen-led initiatives that monitor the actions of government officials and agencies, and provide a platform for citizens to raise their concerns and hold those in power accountable.

It goes to show how unaccustomed the US is to real or serious war.
The US Civil War was relatively light on all of those things and the post-Civil War clemency was extremely extensive and basically unilateral. As wars go, it is harder to find one gentler.

I'm told that chickens will eat their own eggs if given a chance, and one they start doing it, you have to kill them all and start afresh if you ever want eggs again.
Which is why people who feed eggshells back to the chickens grind them up fine so that they aren't recognizeable as eggshells.
... don't know how true that is though.

Well from the moment of secession you have war or a series of wars in the future. The slavery issue could have theoretically been resolved without comprising the wealth and status of southern elites, but that's kind of 20/20 hindsight operating with information they didn't have.
WWI or something like it was going to happen without the key figures maintaining the prior delicate balance. Avoiding war in Europe for such a long period was a difficult feat.
Ukraine by comparison is just a clusterfuck created by poor diplomacy and competing factions.

Usually what happens is a chicken breaks the egg and then is totally amenable with feeding on it like anything else etc. Essentially, chickens are scavengers and the pecking order is a real thing where like in Galaxy Quest, a poor limping wounded little critter can get viciously attacked and killed in enforcing the pecking order. There is a reason that commercial operations debeak their chickens.

I think those essential points were all in Michael Crichton's novel. Though there is very little in the film that was unchanged from the book, except that long sequence with the T. rex in the rain.

I'll only say that I was peripherally involved in Clearance/Background checks. I will also say that many very prominent politicos would not even have made it into enlisted ranks at the time.

1. Forcing someone to do labor for you is wrong
2. Forcing someone to do labor for *me* is justified

I disagree. Essentially, it is because neither the North or the South after agitation for about 20 years could come up with an amenable plan to end slavery. Brazil did and it had far greater proportion of slaves than the US did. It would have required the federal government to buy off the slaves which the North simply would not have it done.
On the South's part, it would have required a massive restructuring of their polities which the planter elites simply were not willing to do.
WWI was similar--the earlier crises of Algeria, the Balkan wars of 1913, and so on did not result in wider wars despite the interlocking treaties. But, Russia felt obligated to go to bat for the Serbs who were in the wrong due to ethnic not strategic reasons and that started teh whole ball of wax. It still could have been contained if Germany did not mobilize to support Austria Hungary. But they did simply to end France as a threat and their key strategic plan via von Schiefflen demanded violation of Belgium territory. Had the Germans not invaded Belgium, then England might or might not have entered the war at its onset similarly to Italy.

Carrot cake is my absolute favorite.
Truluck's in Houston makes the best and has a side caramel sauce that you pour on top.

If a dozen = $5.00, that's about $1.66 a day. But it mounts up to $50 in a month.
I've cut back my breakfast egg consumption to 3-4 a week, and doing cheese and ham on toast the other days.

WWI was a struggle between imperialist and imperialist-wannabe powers competing for colonies. We had no business getting involved. Period.

It was not a technical impossibility but I think a practical one. The sharecropping system that followed demonstrated that things would've been much less disruptive than anticipated. In the general the ends of serfdom or slavery in regions where they were widely employed was usually accompanied by conflicts, so a solution was non-trivial.
Europe was kept at peace by a few key individuals who could navigate their systems and interests. While technically navigable, since these people had been doing so, they weren't replaced with correspondingly talented individuals. A system that very few can maintain is one guaranteed to eventual failure.
