    It’s a bizarre take. It’s not functionally useless, it supports a mouse, keyboard, printer or even an iPhone (non pro) perfectly fine at full speed. It also probably has enough spe…

    There’s plenty of markets outside the pentagon to sell to. Far more likely is they spin up a defence focused subsidiary with slightly different policies if they really want to sell…

    Ryanair doesn’t have sneaky feees. It’s entirely possible to book a flight with them for the price advertised and first quoted when you search. They do prompt you to pay for heaps …

    Denmarks largest export is Ozempic. Ignoring IP rules will hurt EU producers too. How do you plan to ignore IP to hurt American tech companies. I guess if you allow piracy of all o…

    I wouldn't count out Trump sending out "tariff profit" checks (with his face of course) to all Americans. If he gives everyone a $2000-5000 check (undoubably paid for by borrowings…

    Good to see that Trump will be providing subsidies on goods imported from Australia to balance out the -107% trade relationship they have with them. Oh wait its a 10% tariff on Aus…

    Are these just alternative facts and MAGA talking points or do you have any proof from a reputable source for what you stated?

    Going to deter war in Asia by simply telling China, go for it, take Taiwan and the whole 9 dash line? That’s not deterring war, it’s appeasement. Ask the great European powers (and…
