Why do you think that is? Any thoughts?

I can only speak for me personally - and me personally its' because this week, last week, and next week I'm busy as fuck at work and don't have much time at all to catch up on the news or comment - which is usually the time when I'm most active on here.

Yes Kanye is incredibly fucked up - you know you've gone off the deep end when even Alex Jones is like "woah buddy, you're saying the quiet part out loud."

But his stans are still gonna stan him. Reminds me of somebody else I know who recently had dinner with Kanye and open white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

Biden overriding union votes and forcing rail workers back to work. That’s low

It's a big gripe with me - you can't be saying you're the most pro-union president in history and then shit on every rail worker union in the country when they are asking for the most basic standards of worker decency in the country. Biden gets a big F on this one. Somebody needs to advise him he's taking an L either way, because he takes an L looking like an asshat who won't stand behind the unions, or he takes the L when they strike and the trains stop moving. Either way he's taking an L.

Are rail workers even considered government employees?

No, they're not. But Biden and Congress basically said railroads are too critical to the country to even be allowed to strike, so workers have no recourse other than doing an illegal strike which they could be locked up for.

I'll have to get my magnifying glass out to find where in the constitution the president can tell private sector employees what they can and can't do.

No but there are times the Government can step in. Just ask the Air traffic controllers.

This is an outstanding article about the FTX scandal and what was the criminal activity. There has been a media push for some reason or another to explain this was just a mistake or SBF had a bad week. This is a lie of course as SBF has given millions to media companies to enable him to receive good press while scamming and commit out right fraud.

If you want some clarity of what happened, this is the most informative article so far:

FTX’s Collapse Was a Crime, Not an Accident

Sam Bankman-Fried is a con man and fraudster of historic proportions.

Instead of giving hand outs of 10k to folks who don’t need them, we should be looking at why colleges are so expensive and looking to reduce cost. A big part of the problem is a familiar one when talking about big government and ineffective bureaucracy:

Harvard employs almost as many administrators as there are undergrad students. 7,024 admins vs 7,153 undergrads. unreal! what the hell do they do?

Blames cost of college education on "big government" ...

Wants government to investigate private college

Of course I didn’t say neither of these.

I blame the cost on the student loan program which the government has a firm hand in as well as “business” of higher education which colleges private or public are responsible for as well.

System is broken and the cost shouldn’t be a mortgage for undergrad programs. Now programs above under grad, then that’s a different story
