  • Trade war escalates: Trump hikes China tariffs to 125%, pauses others for 90 days

    Grifting at the highest levels of government and far too many people are not only OK with this but have convinced themselves that this is good for them and the future of the nation. These are the people that would try to get Biden impeached for accepting a free ice cream cone from a vendor, claimed that Kamala would sink the economy despite a history of the economy suffering during Republicans in control, and would call any Democrat or non-MAGA Republican wishy washy if they ever reversed their position on something even if was decades long.
    EXACTLY! Don't tell me Trump didn't tip off his friends and family before making this announcement to pause tariffs for 90 days on SOME countries. Trades of a president's family, administration members, and members in Congress should be available to the public in real time!

    He's also following the blueprint of autocrats and authoritarians who pay favor to oligarchs and companies who fall in line. He'll issue "exemptions" and "work arounds" to those who "bend a knee". American democracy is quickly eroding.

  • News Corp, Google partner to provide content for Google News Showcase

    I hope Google will be fact-checking the news they distribute via their platform. News Corp media outlets have a track record of spreading misinformation.

    I'm not sure why AAPL is getting a boost today when Trump's announcement to pause tariffs on SOME countries included a 125% hike for China. Apple gets parts and still produces most devices in China, so the 'bleeding' will continue for some time. I won't be surprised to see AAPL going in the opposite direction tomorrow or by week's end.

  • Why Tesla can get by without CarPlay but other car makers can't

    I don’t rent a car unless it has CarPlay. I am ready with my USB cable and all waypoints set as favorites in my Maps app. 
    The only way to go in a new city with least amount of errors and screwups. 
    I totally agree... and I won't buy a new car unless it has CarPlay integration either. It's just so much easier to have your Maps destinations and favorites, Apple Music playlists, Messages, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders integration, etc. directly from your phone than it is to set up something new.
