TIL that “human geography” or “anthrogeography” is a subfield of geography!
I musta spent a good twenty seconds staring at those first six words and thinking “like, you couldn’t have just taken it for granted that we’d assume that your colleague was human?”
Ha! Yes, that joke comes up every few years in my life. It might become an actual retronym soon…not to distinguish from, say, a simian geographer (as the joke had usually implied), but rather from an AI/bot one.
He at least hires or takes advice from skilled crooks. There’s no way Orangeman understands technical things like NFTs, derivatives, SPACs and other grifts on anything more than a superficial, “money for me” level. He’s got some knowledge of shell companies/LLCs to shield his ass (ets). The actual setup is done by underlings who show him shiney objects with his name or picture on them.
And now with pardon power, the assistant crooks are much bolder with the ripoffs and bribes.
I just got off the phone with my son. Apparently everyone in the Army is completely neutral about their leadership, and there absolutely no complaining in secret rooms where nothing can be recorded. Also, the rank and file are happy to find out that they can’t order toilet paper because the parade cost so much.
Could you clarify what you mean by this? I note sarcasm, but I’m hazy on who you’re being sarcastic about. K, is your son a trumper or is he afraid to speak openly on the phone?
Also, what parade? Not trumps b-day parade last year? Was there a parade I did’t hear about?
My son is an Army officer. He and all other Army officers are completely politically neutral.
Also, a lot of his brigade’s budget went into funding a parade last year, and not into buying necessities such as toilet paper for the offices and barracks. The enlisted ranks, being completely politically neutral themselves, were fine with this.
Trump Crypto doing well (not) for investors. Orangeman’s family raking it in but the original buyers can’t sell until 2030 (after Dump dies/leaves office) and the value will have collapsed completely by then. sad
Trump’s “World Liberty”, which issues his crypto currencies, has been sued after introducing a bylaw that prevents the founding investors from trading their coins until 2030, after Trump leaves office.
The lawsuit alleges that World Liberty has frozen coins without consent. And that demands to unfreeze them have been met with threats to “burn” the coins (delete them from the blockchain).
Investors have complained that they cannot get out of their Trump crypto investments as the value continues to fall. They have lost 75% of their value in the last year.
World Liberty claims that is still double the discount price given to the founding investors.
The Trump family continues to receive 75% of the fees whenever the coins are bought or sold. That fee arrangement has produced $1B in revenue over the same period.
Retail investors can still buy and sell coins at large, it’s only the founding investors who are locked until 2030.
This is essentially a scheme to prevent the collapse of the coin, so that the Trumps can continue to profit from fees based on trades made by retail investors, who are primarily his followers. It’s entirely based on trading the Trump name and brand.
Ostensibly after Trump leaves office, the coin will be worthless so it won’t matter if it collapses. The Trump family does not own any coin, their revenue is solely from the fees.
All I have to say to these people investing in ANYTHING Trumpy is hahaahahahahhhahah. There’s a sucker born every minute. That’s the one thing that DJT knows.
I feel that way about crypto investments in general. Cryptocurrency is unregulated, so people can do almost anything they want without repercussions. Who would “invest” in such a ridiculous thing?
It’s investing the same way it’s an “investment” to buy a box for $10 without knowing what’s in it. It’s really just a form of gambling, but gambling where there are few if any rules.
Any journalist who attends the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight after reading this Trump turd deserves all the shame and opprobrium that will be heaped upon them.
“In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these “Correspondents” now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER. OF ANY KIND, EVER!”
