As if we needed to be reminded, there was no reason to use tariffs to bolster US manufacturing. Half a million unfilled manufacturing jobs. These jobs are no longer "good jobs" for non-college educated workers either (haven't been for a while).

Why aren't Americans filling the manufacturing jobs we already have?
Leaders from both major political parties have been working to bring back manufacturing. But American manufacturers say they are struggling to fill the manufacturing jobs we already have.

Given the avalanche of stupidity rolling out of our American government, I think it's important to remind ourselves what stupidity is and its consequences.

The 5 basic laws of human stupidity
Law 1: Everyone always and inevitably underestimates the number of stupid people in circulation. Stupidity is much more present than you think.

Trump is not fit to lead. America has betrayed our allies too many times in the past (Yazidis, Kurds, Afghan collaborators for example) Betraying Ukraine, in favor of Russia is essentially treason. I hope and pray that the end of Trump's life does not happen by natural causes.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

There is nothing like riding a #motorcycle around the Bay Area over the winter. Riders in other parts of the world talk about "storage for the off-season" lol, wtf is the off season??

The lowest level of hell is reserved for those who knock over parked #motorcycles. Luckily the damage was minimal. I needed some clam chowder and #pch riding to heal my soul.
