Amazon has been trying to make sure it can be on all streaming devices as it provides the back end to a lot of other pay streaming channels. FreeVee was probably their Trojan horse to get people Amazon accounts and a service that low end streaming devices would need to serve.

It works with things you are required to have as well.

Insurance is a varied field from legal minimum insurance to something that will actually protect your family. Since it is so varied, advertising helps being people in. I know there are a couple of car insurance companies that don’t advertise, but they are also very picky on who can get their insurance.

And two heads instead of one? Peak efficiency!

I kind of like it, because it is going to force people to talk about things other than Trump. This election was more than voting for a President.

The National Guard functions like your Home Guard for the most part. Some states do full time deployment, but it is rare and mainly applies security tasks. States are allowed to have standing armies, but it doesn’t happen because it is usually considered a waste of tax payer money.

What I expect is that, as the Union military grows, individual European nations will stop operating militaries outside of their home guard. After all, why have a standing army for the country when you are contributing to a standing army for the Union?

They are still counting ballots. It looks like Trump will have the similar number of votes he had in 2020. In contrast, Harris will have over 10 million, or about 13%, fewer votes.

Without having a way to deal with corruption, it is just inviting the troops to become corrupt as well.

El Salvador has seen crime drop across the country after Bukele arrested everyone with a gang tattoo.

A lot of liberals and leftists sat out the election in comparison to conservatives.

Using the USA as a model, the federal military maintains the specialized units that don’t have a civilian use along with training the military leadership such that it can absorb a larger army.

Individual states have active reserve military units (national guard) that have both military and civilian use. For instance, a lot of disaster response activities in the USA is performed by the national guard under state control.

From that skeleton, the US military can then fill out other units in times of war.

My guess is that an EU military would follow that structure since it has been shown to work well and the union can’t rely on France to build and fund those specialty units by themselves.

Nope. The President is both king and prime minister.

What third party protest voters? Trump won a majority of votes.

People decided to stay home this election.

And this is a policy the actors’ union went on strike for.

This movie has Tom Hanks. But there is now a trained AI model that can make a very old Tom Hanks look younger. That same model could probably make someone who looks and sounds similar to Tom Hanks look and sound exactly like Tom Hanks.

I thought they went on strike to make sure the next Tom Hanks movie actually has Tom Hanks.

The government has been dysfunctional for a while.

Isn’t that traditional of any Olympics?

Also, I’m sure Los Angeles is going to best these numbers given that they made it possible to make being homeless illegal.

It is hard to run an Internet site when the government turns off your Internet.

Not every sector has.

What is showing itself as a major weakness in retirement saving is that a lot of retirement account managers think that bonds are relatively safe when they really aren’t.

The Great Recession went bad because they miscalculated the risk of two unrelated mortgages going bad.

When Covid hit, the increase in interest rates devalued a lot of bonds, something that wasn’t seen since the 1980’s.

Most of the people here who are confused by your accounts’ performance probably have a mix of index funds tied to a basket of stocks.
