I think it's a misnomer that The Economy is a thing we created and it flows out of the government and federal reserve or whatever. Nomad hunter gatherers of the steppe are still beholden to the laws of supply and demand the same as a real estate developer or software engineer. There are just different inputs and outputs. You can opt out of conspicuous consumption or rampant consumerism, but everything that is scarce will obey the laws of economics. Money is convenient abstraction, but food, shelter, safety, dignity, health, peace are all scarce. All are in high demand and in variable supply. Capitalism as a means of allocating scarce resources falls thoroughly into the bucket "the worst form of resource allocation except for all the other ones". If you weren't worried about GDP, inflation or the stock market, you'd be worried about something much worse. Surely we can do better if we mature as a society, but that happens very gradually.
Checks and balances aside, a plurality of people voted for this. They saw Jan 6 happen. They saw all the lawsuits and criminal charges. They saw the impeachments. And they just want him anyway. It's been debated ad nauseum already and I don't think anyone has given a satisfactory explanation for how he keeps doing this.
I think the only explanation is that the endless lies coming out of his mouth allowed many uninformed people to build their own Trump in their heads out of all the possible lies they liked the most. They then simultaneously believed everything they didn’t like were the actual lies. A kind of choose your own adventure.
That and term 1 Trump really was basically what was left of the Republican establishment running things while Trump did his reality TV show presidency.
So people wrongly assumed the same people would be there to stop him from driving the country off a cliff.
Because they saw the other side doing nothing about the things they cared about, while also scornfully telling them they were wrong, racist, hateful, and stupid.
Trump could easily have been defeated by a centrist Democrat who focused on kitchen table issues not fringe social ones, and was able to discuss and debate them coherently.
That's clearly just your opinion and it's not something that makes sense to me. Nor does it explain why their supposed disappointment translated into voting for known criminal and fraudster who did even less for anyone.
Nah, nonsense. It was republicans who made trans issues big - because it rally their base. Same with abortions - republicans made them big topic and successfully removed them.
Centrist democrat strategybis what democratic party does, again and again and it just empowers hard rigt to move more right.
Stop constantly blame "the other side" for what republicans consistently do. Democrats did led the economy much better, they cause less debt. Republicans do the above worst and then they blame democrats.
Conservatives dislike it when things improve, again and again. They are in fact hateful and take pleasure at causing harm. The social issues is what motivates republican base.
this guy's lawyer says: This is a difficult topic for Dan to discuss, but prior to our filing the whistle-blower disclosure this week, last week, somebody went to Dan's home and taped a threatening note, a menacing note on his door with personal information.

While he was at work, and it also contained photographs of him walking his dog taken by a drone.
I just finished watching Daredevil: Born Again[0] and this incident looks shockingly familiar to what happened in the show. I don't know how the show runners knew this was going to happen but it feels like they've been spying on the future. Do they have a time machine or are they really that good (and the current administration that bad)?
The IP rotator was discovered in the analysis. The exfiltration of data was discovered by an NLRB employee and triggered the complaint. A member of their staff saw the spike in egress, found the source and that the audit log had been bleached.
Except an exact location is given in the original text and there's definitely nothing there. Also the text says they ruled over lands that were known to the Greeks and they have no corroboration of an earlier dominant force or advanced society. Any civilization that failed to graduate past wood and earth construction could easily be washed away. Anyone that was capable of monumental construction or even pottery should leave a trace.
My former place ran a lot of RDS Postgres but also loved Supabase. It's more than just hosted DB because it has loads of value adds like web-based table editing, auth, edge functions, row-level security, easy hooks and triggers. We were capable of operating RDS but the cost of operations in dev hours was high. Supabase was super easy for moderate price and readily compatible with our RDS and Redshift.
I don't disagree. Supabase does provide a lot of functions under the hood that one would have to build out individually otherwise. I really like their lock-in model - you're not locked in with your data, but because of the extra functionality that they provide to your database.
