Fck yeah baby!!!

and buying stocks in companies “Without asking Congress, Trump’s administration has bought stakes in dozens of private companies. These range from the massive – a nearly $9 billion lifeline to Intel in exchange for nearly 10% of the company – to much smaller stakes in mineral, quantum computing and semiconductor companies, according to a list of 30 investments.”

Even if the Trump administration says it won’t meddle in the operation of these companies, the genie is out of the bottle and the government will now have an incentive, according to DeHaven, “to privilege the companies that the government has ownership stakes in, and to disfavor competitors, and not just existing competitors, but potential competitors.”

In the Fox News poll, Americans are effectively split — 50% viewed capitalism favorably versus 46% who viewed it unfavorably.

He keys in on one particular data point: Only 41% of Republican registered voters have a strongly favorable view of capitalism in the most recent Fox News poll. Another 20% of Republicans registered voters expressed a somewhat favorable view of capitalism.

Interesting ty!! and bit sad, that last part reminds me a bit of that series “1899” which features a mysterious ship where time and reality become distorted, leading to unsettling experiences for the passengers.

The ship has not docked for more than 200 days. According to Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, that is a record in recent history for the number of consecutive days at sea.

In recent weeks, family members of the crew have told U.S. media about exhaustion on board, food shortages, and poor sanitary conditions. Earlier this month, a sailor reportedly even jumped overboard. CNN (opens in a new window) reports, citing anonymous sources within the U.S. government, that the crew member was subsequently rescued from the water.

The news outlet also reports that the U.S. Navy is dismissing the incident as a “mental health-related episode.” The crew member has been brought ashore for further care. Other crew members are also said to have attempted to jump overboard.

There were already complaints about the food last April. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth dismissed the photos that surfaced as fake news.

Last week, during a meeting with Navy leadership, family members asked questions about the sailor who had jumped overboard. They were told that he was doing “just fine,” according to a reporter from the news channel MS Now. “Those present reacted with outrage.”

Following all the commotion, the Navy issued a statement today: “We have not observed an increase in suicidal thoughts or attempts on board. We take the well-being of service members seriously and have chaplains, medical personnel, and mental health specialists available to assess and address any concerns.”

Hegseth then reiterated today that reports of poor conditions were “completely exaggerated.” Nevertheless, the Navy announced this evening that the USS George Washington is en route to the Middle East, reportedly to relieve the Lincoln.
