How long before the Singapore Government gets caught up in the NVIDIA chips scandal? Considering that they allowed restricted tech to be exported. Maybe Singapore shouldn’t be an approved destination for that kind of technology?

So correct me if I'm wrong, but having Millennial and Gen-Z owning houses at the same rate as Boomers is a good thing, isn't it?

@ByronDonalds The Data Center that got canned in Maryland because some idiot funded by Neville Roy Singham objected should be invited to Palm Bay.

Imagine not understanding that removing access to credit cards would basically destroy not only on-line retail, but retail in general given that people don't carry cash around.

Found the Democrat who agree's that it takes time to get prices and inflation down - only took 2 years after Biden lost for @hackagibson to see the light.

It's been over a week since the elections and the Democrats still haven't improved "Affordability". What happened?

You just know that @SenWarren is lining up some sweet deals with payday lenders.

Replying to @jhmotjr
@jhmotjr Liberal Progressive Dem's can only post hate and then follow-up and block because they lack the intellect to actually make a cogent argument.
The whole "non-binary" thing comes about because people are still ashamed of their sexuality. It's 2026, no one care if you like dick, dude. Tell your hero it's ok to come out of the closet.

Welcome to Monday, November 9th, 2026.
In today's initiatives to address "Affordability", Congress will now investigate whether a private citizen was banging a CCP spy.

I wonder how long before people realize that the “free” Medicare that seniors get is actually 50% funded by premiums that seniors pay when they start Medicare, and that high earner pay over $600 a month - PER PERSON COVERED. So that’s 3k a month for a family of 5 making over 150k a year. 🤣

Florida counties and cities losing tax revenue should just approve Data Center's that would cover the difference.

This is an example of why people in Florida are so pissed and voted for Amendment 3. 12k in 2026. 6k in 2020.
And the city of Wilton Manors hasn't grown. And this doesn't even include the Fire assessment for the fire department.

The most amazing thing about Florida's Amendment 3 is how many people from other states who don't have homes in Florida are getting upset about it.
Like, don't worry, you're not paying the lower property tax.

Hey @jamestalarico , looks like you have some competition.
Dear @elonmusk,
Texas voters have sent you and Donald Trump a rather clear message.
And now that Texas may be preparing to show your data centers the exit, Lithuania is ready to offer them a new home in Europe.
As a member of Lithuania’s Parliament, I would like to personally invite you to consider Lithuania for your next major AI infrastructure investment.
We welcome ambitious investments, disruptive ideas and powerful technology.
Lithuania may be smaller than Texas, but in ambition, creativity and opportunity, we are second to none. Not even Texas.
And should you decide to visit, I’ll personally make sure there’s proper Texas-style smoked brisket waiting for you.
Just one condition: here, democracy isn't for sale.
