There's a whole other perspective on government 'debt:'
This article is going to get forwarded sooooo many times...
Wondering about the cost. Hardcore USB test/analysis devices can hit 4-5-digit $$$. If this hits $50, it'll clean up. But I have a feeling it'll be on the high end.

Edit: also, first time trying a new roasted barley tea. 99 Ranch was out of the regular stuff. Decent price and zero caffeine. Great for daily, afternoon sipping without getting the jitters.
It's a heartwarming story, but I can't imagine competing against my own wife in a zero-sum competition.
Unless we both lose and get to comfort each other with cheap participation trophies.
It's not just cars. Anything with electronics (appliances, smarthome devices, healthcare, transportation) that is designed to last more than three years will hit a wall.
The host devices are designed to last 10-15 years, but the electronics will be out-of-date in 3-5 years.
The processor manufacturer will have moved on to new tech and will stop making spare parts. The firmware will only get updated if something really bad happens. Most likely, it'll get abandoned. And some time soon, the software toolchain and libraries will not be available anymore. Let's not think of the devs who will have moved on. Anyone want to make a career fixing up 10-yo software stack? Where's the profit in that for the manufacturer?
So as an end-user, you're stuck with devices that can not be updated and there's still at least 10-20 years of life left on them. Best of luck.
Solution: go analog. Pay extra if you have to. They'll last longer and the ROI and privacy can't be beat.
It's common sense that "Boneless Chicken Wings" are not:
- Boneless
- Wings, or
- Chicken
Any consumer who believes a business for saying so is responsible for their own failure to understand the meaning of those words.
Now, let us take a look at "Pesticide-Free Vegetables."
All they had to do was look at pollution levels during the early days of the pandemic when people stopped commuting and driving as much. It was plain to see that smog levels in cities went down significantly.
According to https://bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/25th-amendment-frequently-asked-questions/:
Section 2 of the 25th Amendment requires that if the office of the vice president becomes vacant, the president nominates a new vice president who must then be confirmed by a majority vote of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This provision ensures that the office of the vice president is never left unoccupied for long.
But if the House or Senate delay or refuse to confirm the VP selection, it effectively means the Speaker of the House is next in line. Which means if anything was to happen to President Harris, we would be dealing with President Mike Johnson.
And before you think surely, nothing would delay that approval, recall that the Senate Majority Leader held up a Supreme Court vacancy from coming up for a vote for nearly a year until the President of his own party was in power.
I tried some in a night market in Taipei. Challenging for someone who didn't grow up with it, but given how quickly it was wolfed down by the local hosts, it definitely had that 'comfort food' vibe.
