I have a friend who makes a living setting up SquareSpace sites for people. This is how I know that AI isn't going to put everyone out of work.

So it never was about helping the Iranian people to gain freedom from their oppressive regime?

New York Times: Early War Goal Was to Install Hard Line Former President as Iran’s Leader An Israeli strike designed to free Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from house arrest in Tehran, U.S. officials said, was part of an effort to bring about regime change and put him in power.

From the above, we could surmise that the Baby Boomers are the TV generation, and will do whatever the screen tells them to do.

Maybe that's the simplest explanation of what happened.

"By May 17, ad spending exceeded $32 million, with pro-Israel interest groups accounting for over $9 million of the spending against Massie. Massie described the primary election as a "referendum on whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress"

I'm seeing comments that this was the most spent in American history for a house seat.

Also, baby boomers voted for the Trump candidate.

Somebody please go find out why Republicans voted against . I really can't understand it unless they still just love Trump blindly or were tricked by the advertising. He's like a perfect Republican with integrity.

Sure am glad to be living in France. It does seem to be slowly getting worse - but since every other country is RAPIDLY getting worse, France is becoming a paradise by comparison.

It's not a thoughtful insight. It's a copy-paste from an AI.

Is it an overreaction, or is the job market and career outlook bleak right now?

If it isn't an overreaction, then it is baffling that the economy just keeps humming along, as if oblivious to employment levels..

Congrats to the Epstein-class on eliminating Thomas Massie.

They got their W.

You can meal plan real food for not much more than this. I had to a couple years ago to get by, and I still do to a lesser extent.

I’m telling you, boomers please listen to me, the day of the pillow is coming.

Seems like there are other better things Trump could have done with his time and energy, like not starting war with Iran, just for example..

🌲-alist threalist
I'm assuming Massie (correctly) didn't believe in "emergency bandaid" temporary fixes to everything that should be done by Congress.

🌲-alist threalist
Well, while Trump did manage to remove possibly the only decent human being in all of Congress, at least he gave us war with Iran and high gas prices..

Finally! Now we can have more war with Iran!
