Doesn’t sound desperate at all. /s

This is an overly simplified view and missing a lot of complexities, but think of it this way:

The cost to bring something to market is passed to the consumer plus a percentage the Company adds for their profit margin.

Item costs $1.00 to bring to market + 10% for corporate profits = retail price of $1.10 of which the Company makes $0.10.

An increase of item costs to $1.20 to bring to market + the same 10% for corporate profits = retail price of $1.32 of which the Company makes $0.12 for the same thing.

They make more money while passing the go-to-market increase onto you.

Again? Am I having a Mandela Effect moment or wasn’t this decided decades ago to no meaningful change?

Who wants to tell him?

Is it just me or do the logos for those companies look like drawings of anuses?

They sent Vance? Where they hoping that his presence would result in the untimely demise of the Iranian negoators or where they just wanting to ensure that the negotiations would go nowhere?

Either way, I hope that they burned any sofas wherever he stayed. Skip the blacklight test, just send them strait to the incinerator.

Is it just me or do most items on that list describe Trump, his appointees, and the GOP leadership?

The digital age will be a mysterious time to future archeologists. We are erasing our history as we write it to all of these replaceable media formats that require specialized tools to read.

I mean, it’s Russia. What’s he gonna do? Say no? I doubt it.

“Great progress has been made ​but, if for any reason a deal is ⁠not shortly reached, which it probably will be, ​and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for ​Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil ​Wells and Kharg Island,” Trump wrote in a ​social media post.

Hell of a reaction to something that is not vital.

“It’s always been a four-week process. We figured it will be four weeks or so. It’s always been about a four-week process, so – as strong as it is, it’s a big country, it’ll take four weeks – or less,”

– Donald Trump (2026-Mar-01)

I too found it interesting that “Iran” would target Trump’s most disliked state.

Is it because they’ve been put in charge of military forces and nobody is holding them accountable for their actions?

Hey Iran!

Don’t forget about the rest of his family and all the sycophants that prop him up.

His conviction was for repeated assaults of multiple victims over the course of several years, one victim was 13 when it started. Hers was for a single assault of a single victim.

Are they going to shoot her like a puppy?

The announcement comes as the company is facing several thousand lawsuits brought by people in the US who allege they developed Parkinson’s disease due to their exposure to Syngenta’s paraquat products.

The company did not mention the litigation in making the announcement, and did not respond to a request for comment. The company’s announcement cites “significant competition” from generic producers of paraquat and a “less than 1 percent” contribution to the company’s global sales as reasons for exiting the paraquat business.

Translation: The only reason that we have decided to stop selling poison that cripples people as it slowly kills them is because it’s no longer making us money. Please don’t look too close at our other products as we don’t care about the harm that they cause and want them to remain profitable. We are void of any morals, ethics, or conscience. Fuck people. Money is the only thing that matters.

The problems; plural; is that the person who popularized the idea of data centers in space has little to zero understanding of any of the space sciences and yet owns and directs one of the world’s largest, and privately owned, aerospace companies with massive government contracts that splits its time with their own AI work.
