This was a deal originally proposed by Zelensky to Biden administration. The deal was put on hold when Trump was elected so Ukraine could negotiate with the Trump administration before agreeing to the deal.

Then Trump came in, asked for too much, tried to bully Zelensky, and the deal fell through.

Seems like Trump is trying to get rid of the income tax. He can’t just do that with an EO order though, congress has to do it.

He can do all these tariffs though, which will act as a quasi sales tax. And when everything starts to become more expensive, which will be blamed on something else, he will say he’s not removing the tariffs and congress should just get rid of the income tax to help people. He will say, look we are making so much money off tariffs and we have reduced government jobs by so much, we don’t need an income tax anymore anyways!

You also can’t just switch from whatsapp to signal. I have hundreds of contacts on whatsapp that message me constantly there, and 2 on signal.

If you are a gamer you should really just make the switch to bazzite though.

Yeah my roomba attempting to save itself from falling down my stairs sounds a whole lot like self preservation too. Doesn’t imply self awareness.

Also trained on tons of sci-fi stories where AI computer “escape” and become sentient.
