Most of the items are not any better than a typical sale. I usually have a good idea of what I want or plan to buy and the price. A few deals I found were Airpod Pro 2 for $154 which I thought was fair. Costco had a $299 15.6 inch 1080P HP laptop (U100,12GB/512GB), a decent price. JC Penny had amazing deals on luggage, $34 for a good quality carry-on bag. Even AMZN had the Mac Mini M4 for $499.00 which is $100 less than reg.

Just need to be aware of historical pricing and what is a deal, the rest is an attempt to get rid of old stock or market shit you think you need.

I think everyone learned the first time around that Trump is so unhinged that you have to pay homage to him or risk being the target of his ire. Like a king on the throne, kneel and kiss his ring while praising and giving accolades.

It's insane but ya gotta do whatcha gotta do.

Seems like the guy has been fucking around for a while. No wonder none of our allies want to share intelligence or plans with us. The US Military is a liability when it comes to keeping shit secret, they leak like a sieve. They need to get a handle on this shit, who knows what this guy has given to the Russians or Chinese.

Who the fuck would trust a stranger with their 2 day old. People are fucking insane. These two idiots should be sterilized and the child should be taken away and given to someone responsible. It is insane to me that people have children and then hire others to take care of them or raise them.

The only reason he wants physical assets is to achieve his objective. Russia is one of the richest nations on earth in terms of natural resources, and Ukrainian land can't add much to that. It's only worth is to show the West that they can't stop him and destroy the belief in the USA/EU/NATO/Democracy.

Ukraine was a zero threat to him, but the ideals of the West were his destruction.

You're equating the physical (Ukraine, Crimea) with what this war is about. Putins goal wasn't to take Ukraine, his goal was to show the world that Western law and rules mean nothing. That the West is weak and lacks resolve. That NATO is a failure along with the USA/EU belief in Global Law and Independent states.

This is about destroying the principles of Democracy. That others should not look to America or the EU for salvation. He is creating a new world order with the help of China, Iran, and North Korea and succeeding. Look at the elections in the USA and EU. Parties that are sympathetic to Russia just like MAGA is sympathetic to Putin and Russia are gaining power. The West is on the cusp of a complete strategic defeat that will define the next century at a minimum.

If conflict resolution means giving Ukraine to Russia, then I can agree with you. Vance says he doesn't care about what happens in Ukraine and Trump said he has a very good relationship with Putin and could stop the war in the first 24 hours after the election. Tulsi believes there are USA BioLabs in Ukraine and Putin was right for invading his peaceful neighbor. Hegseth believes Ukraine doesn't deserve US support and is unworthy of helping.

There is the old guard that understands very well that Russia is the greatest threat the US faces but they no longer have much of a voice. MAGA is in charge and they are fine with America's strategic defeat and the downfall of Western democracy.

>Western intelligence officials believe the attack, which took place in July, was a trial run by Russian agents who planned to place similar bombs on flights to the United States.

It's only a matter of time before they bring down a US Cargo/passenger plane. Perhaps Americans will finally wake up and come around to the fact that Putin and Russia are not their friends like Tulsi, Trump, Hegsseth, et al have said.

They will become a domestic brand protected by tariffs and laws. Jim Farley said it while discussing Chinese Auto manufacturers and their global rise.

NZ isn't some 3rd world country where someone who broke the law can flee. There are plenty of cases where a non-citizen breaks US Law (ex: Sanctions) and is arrested outside of the USA.

The United States and New Zealand have a number of agreements in place to fight crime and are both are members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance.

I'm not sure it's that bloated. The US is doing much better than most countries regarding headcount at the federal level. The Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Department of Homeland Security, USPS, make up about 2/3 of the total.

I think it was just another campaign tactic, theater for the masses and the reality is very different. It's programs that cost the American people the most so if Elon and Vivek want to save money, they will need to look at programs like SS, Veterans benefits, Medicare, Education, etc.

$25-$40 is insane. Spypoint offers 250 pics for free a month and 1000 for $6 a month. As long as you can connect to a cell tower (1 bar is enough). That probably covers 80 % of hunt properties.

US/German manufacturers just do assembly, they don't manufacture parts, so they only need assembly plants. BYD is a vertically integrated manufacturer. They make everything in-house which helps drive down costs. This huge footprint results in having all those different manufacturing lines under one roof. They depend on no one for finished parts, the only supply chain is raw materials.

Nuts how much US Tech goes into North Korean, Russian and Chinese ICBM's, etc. They are incorporating US/EU technology for the purpose of killing Americans and Europeans in a future conflict. There are little to no consequences for countries that ship Western Tech to this axis of evil.

If I were Russia I would be concerned that China, India, and the USA have warned them not to even think about it. They would be walking around naked and hungry in the streets if they were not careful.

This is all the posturing of a dying Aberration of Monumental Evil and Murder as 800 years of their history have shown the world.

DOGE is so efficient that it needs two leaders to run it. Their first great idea is to make things so awful that many Gov workers will quit.

I'm sure just simple digitization, moving processes online, and then offering packages to promote early retirement would be enough to save billions. But that wouldn't satisfy their contempt for the working class.

Here is a link of what I imagine is the war heads falling after the ICBM was destroyed over the skies of Dnipro, Ukraine

I would bet 99.9 % of Americans have no clue we are at war. They have no idea what is at stake.

People who can afford to buy brand new, does it matter if there is a 25k EV?

People that buy used, can get a cheap electric car like a 2023 Tesla M3 with approx. 50k miles going for 20-24k on Hertz Rental Car sales site.

If you want a better price, just wait until 2026, when the 250k leases come due. There will be a flood of used electric cars on the market.

Perhaps Ukraine will supply the USA if or when the time comes.

Not at all, just stating the facts.

1000's of H1B's from India will work, sleep, and live at AMZN 24x7x365. Most folks are competing with this and it is happening across the industry.

Junk away...
