I always like to consider every side of an argument but since this community has socialism in its name I want to ask you all a question- if you lived in a socialist country would you also oppose measures like this or would you want a more efficient process?

In my opinion, leftists in socialist countries are used to having projects completed relatively quickly, projects that meet the goals of the state and which further societal interest.

I do not support projects whose goal is to make money for corporations. I do not support projects that cause great harm to the environment for profit. I realize that in America we have for-profit systems that are motivated by greed. So the expedition of permitting processes will probably only help the corporations. But my question is about how you would feel about this type of efficiency if the projects benefited society as a whole.

Blasted, slammed! Oh no

Dude is killing life

I’m blue daba di daba di

I can’t believe you are shaming this guy because of his beady eyes and his little face and chubby cheeks and stringy hair. That’s not right

That doesn’t really explain why the revisions are generally downwards. It just explains that there’s a preliminary estimate and then a final estimate and then a yearly comprehensive report. So why are you saying revisions are generally downwards because of the process? All I’m seeing is that when jobs are trending down, it’s hard to estimate the amount of jobs because we’re expecting a higher amount of jobs based on historical data, while the actual amount is trending down.

They keep having to revise these numbers downward because they’re not accurate.

Edit: August was revised down from 162,000 to 133,000. July was revised from +21000 to -10000. The September revision hasn’t been done yet.

I can understand why private equity would want to buy in or lend at high rates, but why would they even qualify for a high junk rating? The term junk is a little misleading. A high junk rating is actually still pretty good. The company reported an $80 billion net loss for the first half of 2026. Anyone know why they would be given credit?

I just got this propaganda email from social security. And Trump sent letters to people getting SS

"Under President Donald J. Trump, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is transforming into a model of excellence, one that meets and exceeds customer expectations for fast, accurate, and secure service. In 2026, SSA gave Americans back 200 million hours of time they previously would have spent waiting for service, equivalent to putting 100,000 work years back into the economy.

SSA is the nation’s largest and most trusted government service provider, safeguarding information and delivering service to more than 330 million Americans with active Social Security numbers. Over the past year, we have accelerated our digital-first strategy, streamlined our operations, and focused our resources to improve your experience whether you choose to interact with us online, by phone, by video, or in person.

Fiscal year (FY) 2026 produced the best performance in the agency’s 91-year history. We reduced average wait times on our National 800 Number to under six minutes, an 80 percent improvement compared to FY 2024. We cut average field office wait times by more than 30 percent while serving nearly 30 million visitors in our over 1,200 field offices. Americans completed more than 571 million online transactions during the year, and more than 105 million people now have a personal my Social Security account. We also reduced disability processing times and backlogs, helping the most vulnerable receive decisions more quickly.

View 2026 Service Improvements and Results SSA will continue expanding digital access for customers and improving service across every channel. This administration is focused on delivering a great experience for every American.

Thank you for placing your trust in the Social Security Administration."

She’s going to rap about the WAP: wicked associated press

The camera system will be connected to a series of speakers that alert following a detection, by broadcasting “Man overboard! Or it could be a woman!” -Maybe

But they do contribute to Democratic candidates. They spent over 30 million just in Michigan against El Sayed.

Great article

Five days since her first press conference, but she started serving as press secretary on the 9th, two days earlier.

No, 7-11

Counting is hard. It’s 7

According to Wikipedia she served as press secretary from October 9 until her termination on October 16.

So 9 days Edit 7 days, math is hard

Yes, 11 days. But she was Press Secretary for 9 days, from the 9th to the 16th. 9/11 = .81

Edit: 9th to 16th is 7 days, not 9. So I guess my prediction of .6 scaramuchis was correct
