Most American's will shrug at the Starlink grift. It's just not something they're going to rally behind.

Yeah, they don't recognize influence peddling, unless it's Hunter Biden.

Yep, those drive-by handwaves from Joe Biden sure made an impact on Hunter-boyтАЩs art sales.Meanwhile the DOGGIE Dodge boys keep cranking out the Benjamins for olтАЩ Elon. I used to question whether his reputation for being an actual genius (as opposed to the тАШvery stableтАЩ sort we became familiar with during Trump 1.0) was mostly hype.

By getting hisself installed as El TrumpoтАЩs consigliere he has definitely proven to be a veritable Einstein of grift. His troop of Merry Musketeers have now infiltrated every nook and cranny of government possessed of a computer hook-up and is engaging in AI-enabled slicing and dicing of their operations, especially those big, beautiful government contracts: space shots, Starlink services, plus dumping legions of civil servants into the unemployment lines.

Declaring them redundant тАФ oops, I meant to say тАЬnot a good fitтАЭ тАФ he has thoughtfully proposed to have the really essential functions of government taken over by AI, to whit, something called тАЬGrokтАЭ, which we understand is prone to тАЬhallucinationsтАЭ which is to say, making up nonsense when it doesnтАЩt know th right answer.

Whatever your thoughts about AI, youтАЩve got to admit that hallucinating is its most human-like feature, as this administration is determined to remind us at every opportunity.

Yeah, you'd be hard pressed to find people rallying to save Verizon contracts. Verizon is reaping what they sowed here with decades of treating customers badly.

If anything people will think, "Screw Verizon, they cancelled my Perks Plan and stopped crediting me $10 for automatic payments."
