America is going to be the saddest little empire in history. If lasted what 70 years? Only like 30 of which were unchecked by the USSR. That's loving pathetic compared to other empires.

hiring people to cancel your sub when they could add a single button on the account page. sad

I tried a web based remote desktop service to fix my mom's computer just because I'm lazy. I had to fucken call them to cancel my subscription. A service that lets me control computers remotely made me call them to cancel my subscription. God drat that pisssed me off.

my favorite subplot of the administration atm is that from everything we see published or quoted, it looks the generals three have decided that they arent going to try to win the factional battle for control of trumps mush brain and will instead just run their own lil boutique govt shop w its own foreign policy and military engagement planning and so on, until and unless trump tells them unambiguously to stop

The Times has society pages, where they're all about rich people. It's horrible, but they probably get a lot of support from rich assholes as a result.

That's still not great. And no one even noticed the US existed until WWII. OK some of that was euros being assholes, but it's not an empire if no one acknowledges it.

This would be 12-13 years of economic expansion since the Great Recession. The longest period of growth is 10 years during the 90s.

The stock market is delusional. Trump's tax cuts, federal hiring freeze, tariffs, etc are going to throw us into recession in a year or two.

yeah also it doubled as one of those "ideas for entertaining" articles the nyt has every week where they'll tell you how to, like, have a funky 50s beatnik themed clambake for 100 guests at your beach house in the hamptons without hiring more than one caterer

Might as well. let's be honest there's a prrty big disconnect between the pundits and the actual people, so if their subscriptions tank everytime the editors let some high society fuckass run his mouth leads to them getting fired it's a plus for america.
