Trump is really powerful, and has a lot of influence in US society, and he's using his power in ways that I don't approve of. But, here's a list of a few things that he explicitly DOESNT control: The congress. The courts. The state legislatures. The state courts. The state national guards. The local governments. The local police departments.

What? Republicans in congress vote with Trump in lock step. The supreme court rubber stamps nearly every case he appeals. Cheeto appointed tons and tons of loyal judges who favor his cases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Lately the only person speaking out is Rand Paul and that says a whole hell of a lot when I agree with Rand Paul on something.

For a solid year now printing a page from a pdf is broken. Say you're currently viewing page 10 and wish to print that particular page. You click print and then click the selection to "current page" and the preview pane does not change. You click print and no surprise it prints the first page, not the one you just specified. Now you have to click "custom" and type the actual number. How is something like that remain broken? It happens on both Windows and Linux across multiple machines.

And this is how corruption eventually hits your own pocketbook. Americans would do well to remember this as their energy sector is brought to similar levels of dysfunction over the next few years.

After the 2021 Texas freeze, some of those people whose power stayed on ended up receiving $20,000 electric bills. Last I heard those charges had not been rescinded. "That's just how the free market works", customers were told. More honest than the Africans calling it a "mistake", I suppose.

Since that freeze I've been averaging about 3 days a year with no electricity.

You have to look at the positive side. Isn't it so much better without the Home Depot day laborers and restaurant prep workers?

It varies state to state. My state has them but there is a huge conflict of interest because every mechanic shop also does inspections. I'd rather the state offer testing centers like California does. It's also a huge hassle because you won't have your car for the day and then dealing with the hours of the shop.
