I was in Chicago with some friends, and the dust storm came right when we got to our AirBnb. We got the alert on our phones just before we got to the Illinois/Indiana border. It was eerie.
This is my Facebook feed now, only mine is filled wish stories (complete with AI image) about how Musk is buying the Tigers, and how he is rescuing orphans. Looking at the accounts, most of them are from Vietnam or the Philippines. Complete junk.
I think Trump is just really lazy and doesn’t care to learn things. Some people just lack the capacity and curiosity to be able to disseminate what is real and what is not. The MS-13 photoshopped tattoo thing was something that stuck out to me as someone with a lazy mind, so he will just go with something someone printed out and told him.
I found this happening before my own eyes at my current company. I got laid off last year because our job was outsourced to the Philippines. When that went poorly, they hired a bunch of us (myself included) back. Most of those positions have stayed outsourced though, and there is a huge turnover with them. Service has absolutely taken a hit.
