[State Sponsored Cancel Culture] Disney cancels the Jimmy Kimmel Show after government pressure

No President has done more to help workers than President Trump. It all starts with deporting illegals, paving the way for jobs and real wage growth for Americans. Then no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. Then creating more jobs in AMERICA with tariff negotiations and commitments for trillions of investment in the USA. Remember, Biden's jobs were inflated by the BLS, and were largely jobs for foreign-born people and government employees. Trump is creating family-sustaining jobs for Americans. And on top of all of this, inflation has moderated -- Biden wrecked the American worker with runaway inflation. Trump is delivering on low cost energy due to unleashing America's energy resources and stopping the pursuit of high cost renewables.


GOOD DAY

 

Oh my, this is like taking candy from a baby! You clearly have never hired people or run a business. Your points are truly awful and pale in comparison to Trump cutting taxes (tips, overtime, income), stopping the flow of illegals across the border, creating manufacturing jobs like never before, and lowering inflation.


1. Overtime for SALARIED workers? Overtime is 99% for hourly employees. Salaried employees rarely keep track of hours.

2. No union protections have been removed whatsoever. The NLRB is a worthless organization that just takes money from taxpayers and provides nothing for employees. The NLRB only supervises unions -- it doesn't create protections for unions. Red tape that needed to be cut.

3. Non competes are for executives, not WORKERS. Unless you make $200k/year, then a non-compete isn't enforceable anyhow. And in many liberal states, they already are not enforceable. Again, shows you've never been a business leader.


Trump is the best President in decades for the American worker.


CLEAN WIN --> El_Conquistador


GOOD DAY

 

Again, this is taking candy from a baby!

The highest electricity costs are in the liberal states. Period, full stop. When you retire low cost fossil fuel plants and replace them with renewables, the consumer loses. California, NY, Connecticut, Massachusetts... the pattern is obvious. As coal fired plants were retired, electricity costs skyrocketed. This, plus robust GDP growth under Trump leads to supply-demand imbalance. Liberals should have NEVER moved away from fossil fuels... we need all forms of electricity to prosper!


GOOD DAY

 

It's not a right or left thing. Biden isn't to blame, nor is Trump. It's a surge in data centers because we are in an AI bubble. And frankly, neither right nor left should be in support of building more power plants just so you can have an AI hallucinate the number of Bs in blueberry. IT companies are pouring billions and billions of dollars into building data centers all across the country.

AI is set to drive surging electricity demand from data centres while offering the potential to transform how the energy sector works

When even Sam Altman thinks there is an AI bubble, then there most likely is an AI bubble. But it’s even worse than that. There isn’t just one AI bubble: there are three.

First, AI is almost certainly in what economists call an asset bubble or a speculative bubble. As the name suggests, this is when asset prices soar well above their fundamental value. A classic example of this kind of bubble is the Dutch “tulip mania” of the 17th century, when speculators drove up the price of tulip bulbs to astronomical heights, convinced that there would always be someone willing to pay more than they had.

As I write, Nvidia is trading at 50 times earnings, Tesla at an astounding 200 times, despite falling revenues, while the rest of the Magnificent 7 (Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Meta) are enjoying significant boosts thanks to the bets they are taking on an AI-led future. The chances of this not being a bubble are between slim and none—and while Slim hasn’t quite left town, he’s booked his ticket and is packing his bags.

Second, AI is also arguably in what we might call an infrastructure bubble, with huge amounts being invested in infrastructure without any certainty that it will be used at full capacity in the future. This happened multiple times in the late 1800s, as railroad investors built thousands of miles of unneeded track to serve future demand that never materialised. More recently, it happened in the late ’90s with the rollout of a huge amount of fibre optic cable in anticipation of internet traffic demand that didn’t turn up until decades later.

Companies are pouring billions into GPUs, power systems, and cooling infrastructure, betting that demand will eventually justify the capacity. McKinsey analysts talk of a $7 trillion “race to scale data centres” for AI, and just eight projects in 2025 already represent commitments of over $1 trillion in AI infrastructure investment. Will this be like the railroad booms and busts of the late 1800s? It is impossible to say with any kind of certainty, but it is not unreasonable to think so.

Third, AI is certainly in a hype bubble, which is where the promise claimed for a new technology exceeds reality, and the discussion around that technology becomes increasingly detached from likely future outcomes. Remember the hype around NFTs? That was a classic hype bubble. And AI has been in a similar moment for a while. All kinds of media—social, print, and web—are filled with AI-related content, while AI boosterism has been the mood music of the corporate world for the last few years. Meanwhile, a recent MIT study reported that 95% of AI pilot projects fail to generate any returns at all.

 

more lies. Mine has gone down

 

How???

I had solar priced out at 0.2kwhr a few years ago and did not do it because it would take 10+ years to pay off but then the transmissions rates are up 30% since then... Opps. Probably for the best because a tree would've taken them out this past summer.

 

Trump's actions against renewables have had 2% of the impact that retiring hundreds power plants for decades have had. It's not even debatable. You have lost badly.

It's very simple. Almost 800 GW of coal fired plants have been retired (at the behest of liberals and liberal NGOs) over the past 20+ years. This is roughly equivalent to the capacity needed to power America today (including reserve margin). That's how insane the liberals energy policy has been for TWO DECADES. And you wonder why electricity costs are skyrocketing? It's the height of absurdity to think that it's linked to a short term cut in subsidies. When the power plant retirements have been going on for 20 years. With these plants in the mix today, American consumers would be paying far less for their power. You reap what you sow... and the Democrats gave us high electricity costs. Which is why the most expensive places to buy electricity today is in liberal states. Liberals created an economic catastrophe that punishes low income Americans the most (utilities represent a larger percentage of their income).


SHAME ON LIBERALS

 

Fast food employees locked in non-competes? Non-competes for low income employees are not worth the paper they are written on. No judge will enforce them. You clearly have no experience in this area.

Non-compete agreements and the NLRB are not even close to being as impactful to working Americans as tax cuts, lowering of Biden's inflation, the stoppage of illegal immigration, and the trillions of manufacturing investment that Trump's tariff negotiations have brought us. It's a runaway win for El_Conquistador.


CLEAN WIN

 

Coal should be transitioned to natural gas, hydroelectric, wind, solar, and nuclear where appropriate. Full stop.

And noncompetes hurt workers. Taxes without services also hurt workers.
Maybe you're more progressive than you let on.

 

I am in favor of ALL forms of energy -- every American should hold this view, with the increased demand from AI and the need to keep consumers' electricity costs down. I am not for subsidies, which distort markets. I am not for retiring any forms of generation -- you never know when that surge of demand will hit... and it has hit.

Non-competes, like any contract, must be counter-balanced by some tangible benefit. You have to receive something of value for it. But even if that test is met, no judge in America will restrict a man/woman from earning a living for their family. So basically low-income or medium-income employees don't have to worry about non-competes being enforced. Now if you enter into a $1M/year employment agreement and it has say a 1 or 2-year non-compete, then you might have to abide by it. Some states have banned non-competes entirely.

Lower taxes, lower inflation, lower illegal immigration, more manufacturing investment in the USA, more access for American-made goods to sell into foreign markets, lower energy costs -- this is the way for the lower-and-middle classes to get ahead.


GOOD DAY

 

if for one sec he stopped arguing everything as "liberal this, liberal that", he would learn a thing or two.
But his pure hatred for "liberalzzzzzzz" is just eating his brain.

 

total nutter shooting up a TV station for cancelling Kimmel gets let out on bail

 

Probably Jim Gaffigan.
He does not speak of politics that I know.
I'm sure they like Jeff Dunham and his puppet show.

 

I went on vacation a week and a half ago. When I left regular unleaded was 3.09
Came back and it is 3.25.
Why?
