blames children when Israel starves them to death, blames Ukraine when Russia wants
to conquer them, and blames the whole world for their own economic choices leading to poverty of the working class,... that culture ends up with people who ONLY care about themselves, and justify every action they take as a reaction to what someone else does.
I am 100% sure that the car driver thought they were being harassed for no reason,
and that they acted out of 'self defense'.
That's the result of people being taught to never look inwards, but only outwards.
You're just a neutral observer now, but many people would pick the car driver's side,
if the 'news' added any information that made them dislike the motorbike driver.
Maybe you would be able to “justify” using your fists to assault a woman because she did something to anger you? After all, women are seen in a different light than men, right? I don’t how anyone driving a minivan felt justified in ramming into a motorcycle/motorcyclist (unless the motorcyclist was brandishing a gun and the driver of the minivan felt that was his only option).

Just make it political and all of MAGA takes the side of that minivan driver.
If Fox told you that the guy on the bike was a Free Palestine protester, ALL OF MAGA
would have loved what the minivan driver did and Trump would pardon him.
(Of course it doesn't need to be true, and the term for him would be "Jew-hating Nazi")
You're now saying that I "would be able to “justify” using your fists to assault a woman", but I don't do that, because I have principles. However, many Christian fundamentalists have been in court for using their fists to assault women, in the vicinity of clinics like Planned Parenthood. They are acquitted after repeat violent offenses against women.
Many on the right think that violence against women is completely justified.
Some even support murder, life imprisonment and the death sentence.
However, it doesn't need to involve abortion, or the support, or just the IDEA of abortion.
How about any woman who accuses any guy, that your side likes, of any sex crime?
Do you think she should just fear someone's fists? And would no one support that?
When I was in Florida, I was returning from Cape Coral and making a left turn from whatever road I was on and onto SR80. I went wide rather than tight not knowing that 2 lanes were allowed to make the left turn. Did I almost cause an accident? Yes. Was it intentional? No. Did it cause the guy that I accidentally cut off to swerve to avoid a collision? Yes. Did he handle the almost accident well? I don’t think so because when I hit my brakes I allowed him the opportunity to “recover” and get in front of me. Yeah, he used that opportunity to reduce his speed to “force” me to choose to go around him so he could cut me off OR in his choice, he just went super slow and from time to time, slammed on his brakes to show me how pissed he was…… NO, I believe people are fucked up, probably even in the Netherlands, too!

i even get calls about a house 4 states over owned by someone with the same last name. i finally did some research and my name comes up as a partner to that owner. how i have no idea. but i literally answer the landline phone with " the lands not for sale". if it is a friend or family, they understand. if not fuck um.
I did have little cards, asking me if I want to sell my car, with a phone number,
under the windscreen wiper of my previous car (the Toyota) a lot.
That's billionaires who want to own EVERYTHING,
so you are forced to pay them, for everything you NEED.
Then they will never have to work a minute for their wealth,
while all of you, average Americans, are slaving to pay them.
And you call that "investments" and you think that's good.
um, that person would drive annas nuts!

i always used fricking or friggen as a nice way to say fucking?
This meant that if you used the highways to go to your home in the suburbs you had to own a car, thus eliminating low income people, a.k.a. Black people, from living in the suburbs.

Wiser and kinder? Am I missing something? Wasn’t it a tortoise that plowed into him, flipping him on his back? That suggests to me that beneath those tough shells that tortoises can be pretty darn conniving and mean! Maybe they need to form some type of a “gang” and seek some type of revenge!

Go trump
U.S. inflation has been declining in early 2025, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.3% year-over-year in April—the slowest pace since February 2021. Several factors contribute to this trend:
- Preemptive Stockpiling by Businesses: Anticipating new tariffs, many companies increased imports earlier in the year, creating inventory buffers that delayed price increases for consumers.
- Temporary Tariff Reductions: A short-term U.S.-China agreement reduced tariffs from 145% to 30% for 90 days, easing immediate inflationary pressures.
- Decline in Energy Prices: A significant drop in gasoline prices contributed to the overall slowdown in inflation.
- Federal Reserve's Monetary Policy: The Fed's interest rate hikes have helped cool demand, aligning inflation closer to its 2% target.
However, this moderation may be temporary. As stockpiled goods are sold off, the effects of tariffs could lead to price increases in sectors like electronics, autos, and apparel. Analysts predict that inflationary impacts may become more evident in the coming months.
Since you praised Trump for the oil price going down, I asked that too:
"Is Trump to be commended for bringing oil prices down?"
It's a nuanced situation. While oil prices have dropped, attributing that directly to former President Donald Trump is not straightforward. Here’s why:
🔍 What’s Actually Causing Oil Prices to Fall?
Global Market Forces:
Oil prices are largely driven by global supply and demand, not individual national policies.
In 2025, increased production from non-OPEC countries and softer global demand (especially from China) have put downward pressure on prices.
U.S. Domestic Production:
The U.S. remains a major oil producer, and recent increases in shale production have contributed to supply levels.
Some of this momentum was built under multiple administrations, including investments and deregulations during Trump’s previous term (2017–2021), but the direct link to 2025 prices is limited.
Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) Releases:
If the government released oil from the SPR (a decision sometimes made to ease fuel prices), it could impact prices temporarily. However, there’s no solid reporting indicating Trump has enacted this in 2025.
Geopolitical Stability:
Prices sometimes drop due to reduced risk premiums, especially if global tensions ease or major conflicts affecting oil supply settle.
✅ So, Should Trump Be Commended?
If specific Trump policies (e.g., promoting drilling, negotiating trade that eases energy prices, or increasing refinery capacity) directly led to more supply or lower demand, then partial credit might be warranted. But:
No major policy move in 2025 is directly and clearly tied to this price drop, based on current reporting.
Oil prices fluctuate for reasons mostly beyond any single president’s control.
=================================================================
So, your lowering inflation is mostly a result of TRUMP BACKING DOWN.
As soon as his madness continues, you can see your inflation increase steeply.
ADDITIONALLY, Trump demanded the Fed to lower the interest rates and they didn't listen
to him. So, instead of thanking Trump, you should thank the Fed!!!
I have a good reason to hate him; he's a fascist. I think fascism is evil and I hate evil.
What's the reason to stop hating him?
Most techies say that ChatGPT is better than Grok.
They also say that Google Gemini is the best free ChatGPT alternative. I might try that.
Any opinions on the actual subject?
if you use people and company's political views as a way to decide what to buy and what to use, for crying out loud how do you do any form of business?
hitlers ideas still impact the world today in hwy design and car -plane design and so on. and i feel like if the truth were known the research done by his prisoner scientist is being used today to treat ailments such as cancer.
Henry ford hated jews. today you would treat him same as you do elon, but how many fords are in the world? many. it is because the reality of it is, his ideas and those of others thru out history , impacted the world in a positive way. just as Elons nuero link is giving the crippled life again.
Do you think that ALL the good things came from those horrible fascists?
Or do you think those good things would have happened, if we didn't have those horrible fascists?
Please explain your thinking on this.
Elon is/was pushing the limit of current technology ONLY on electric cars. His other projects are cool, but he keeps failing the goals he's setting. He's actually under-delivering compared to what the original scientists were achieving, but he is taking away their funding. The only thing he's good at is HYPING. That makes him look better than the scientists who were doing much better than he did, in SILENCE. The best example is his robots. They are incredibly humiliating, so humiliating that he replaced his robot dancers with humans in robot suits. Boston Dynamics wouldn't have needed to do that. Still, Elon acts like he's on the cutting edge of robotics, which is part of his HYPING in action.
Aks Grog this: "Can you do an analysis of the causes of the US having the lowest inflation in 4 years, right now?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChatGPT said this:
As of April 2025, the U.S. inflation rate has declined to 2.3%, marking the lowest level in four years. This reduction is notable, especially considering the elevated inflation rates experienced in recent years.
Factors Contributing to the Decline in Inflation
Several elements have played a role in bringing down inflation:
Federal Reserve Policies: The Federal Reserve's monetary policies, including interest rate adjustments, have been instrumental in controlling inflation.
Global Energy Prices: A strategic increase in oil production by Saudi Arabia, as part of the OPEC+ alliance, has led to lower global oil prices. This move aligns with efforts to stabilize the U.S. economy amidst trade tensions and has contributed to reduced energy costs domestically.
Consumer Behavior: Changes in consumer spending patterns and supply chain improvements have also helped in easing price pressures.
President Trump's Policies and Their Impact
President Trump's administration has implemented several policies aimed at influencing economic conditions:
Tariffs and Trade Policies: The administration has imposed significant tariffs on imports from countries like China, Mexico, and Canada, raising the effective tariff rate from 2.5% to 27% by April 2025. While intended to promote domestic manufacturing, these tariffs have led to increased costs for U.S. importers, which are often passed on to consumers, potentially exerting upward pressure on prices.
Energy Production Initiatives: Efforts to boost domestic oil and natural gas production aim to lower energy costs. While increased energy supply can help reduce inflation, the full impact of these initiatives may take time to materialize.
Fiscal Policies: Proposals to extend tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act have been discussed. While tax cuts can stimulate economic growth, they may also increase aggregate demand, potentially leading to higher inflation if not offset by spending cuts or other measures.
Conclusion
While the current administration's policies have influenced economic conditions, attributing the recent decline in inflation solely to President Trump may overlook other contributing factors and the potential for future fluctuations. It's essential to consider the broader economic context and the interplay of various policies and market responses when assessing such developments.
=============================================================
So if you only care about inflation, his energy production policies are helping.
However, his Tariffs and Trade Policies are toxic, and the only good about them is
that he temporarily halted them. If he continues, that will raise inflation again.
His fiscal policies will increase inflation, unless he offset them by spending cuts
or other measures. What does that mean? He will do tax-cuts for the wealthy and spending cuts for everyone else. Maybe inflation will be unaffected, but the spending cuts will put less money in the pockets of normal Americans, making them even poorer, and less able to buy groceries.
