Dumbo's executive orders
1. Ending birthright citizenship
2. Leave WHO
3. Leave Paris Agreement
4. Say there are only 2 genders
5. Immediately end all DEI programs
6. End working from home.
7. Pardon insurrectionists

Literally everything he said he would do.

However, us lawyers are hooting with laughter because the EO are riddled with typos and faulty lawyering . Also obviously written with AI.

Seriously he thinks he can stop birthright citizenship with an executive order. Smh

ttmacoy:
Why do you lie like this? And besides he cannot sign a bill without it going through Congress, even in your lie you can't get it right, you meant executive order not bill 😆

Cyberknight:
So now it begins. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Musk gets on with DOGE and the slashing of government expenditure and deployment of tech and AI and all that stuff. The US in this Trump administration, now uber-capitalist, is the most fertile ground for that to happen so we can see how it's done. The DOE will be axed, and apparently thousands of feckless civil servants will be automated away to go find something else to do and save the government money. Keenly interested in how the US manages this if all the promises made are executed as promised because it'll serve as a template of sorts for the rest of us, as we'll be able to see our future.

Interestingly, it was Musk as well, in one of his sober moments, who said something along the lines that the full deployment of AI will doom the human race. I tend to agree with him. When we hear everyone going on about AI and its potential for game changing, the decimation of white collar roles and all that, very few seem to consider the human cost. When everything automatable has been automated, and millions or tens of millions or hundreds of millions or whatever quantum of human beings are thrown out of work, and a percentage of them have managed to retrain in the remaining fields of endeavour that will survive (healthcare, any leftover tradesman roles (humanity will probably soon be living in prefabricated 3D-printed homes at some point) and those attempting to guide and direct AI applications), one wonders what'll happen to the rest of humanity.

For every human being who has the knowledge, opportunity, good fortune, desire and drive to make something exceptional of their situation, there are a million others who will not. Not everyone can retrain, not everyone can pivot to tech, and not everyone can suddenly discover an entrepreneurship gene hitherto buried in their genomes. It's quite likely that huge numbers will be out of work at some point. 1930s levels of unemployment are not unfeasible in the next half of the century. The rich countries will probably fund skilling and training schemes while trying to pay out even more unsustainable levels of benefits and dealing with societal consequences (increased crime and societal breakdown), fertility will fall even lower than it is now in rich countries while Africa and Asia continue to merrily reproduce, leading to more unwanted migration and instability and at some point the governments that can afford to do so, battling with declining tax revenues, will have to put together programs, possibly even up to the level of Great Depression-era type works programs, to give people something to do, ultimately resulting in absolutely no cost savings at all from automation or even increased expenditure. So the world ends up going around in circles for worse outcomes.

The tech bros and the financiers and their fellow travellers will end up ruling the earth ultimately, but I think it will most likely be scorched earth.

Time to grab my popcorn and watch.

Procashtips:
Initiated how?

Like he came up with the bill right?

If yes, how come he didn't sign it only for Biden to do?

Procashtips:
Did he sign it?

How come it was Biden that ended up signing it into bill?

That should give you an idea of how Trump work.

Wether American govt wants to allow it or not, it doesn't stop the growth. Titktok America is just for the American customers.

Anyways, he's getting into the Oval office tomorrow, so fingers crossed.

missjekyll:
Not according to the Bangladeshi government. They made it categorically clear she has never had citizenship of any kind and would be rejected if she applied.

Can't say I blame them. She was born and bred here. Bangladesh owes her nothing.

missjekyll:
Apples and oranges ,just wise. Your article is for dual citizens. Begum did not have dual citizenship. That's why removing her only citizenship breached international law

missjekyll:
I disagree with you too. Removing her citizenship when she had no other citizenship was illegal. The government will lose this case .
They should save taxpayer's money and do the right thing.

When you make this case to the British people, they will understand and support it. They may hate her because of her interview but these are the facts of the case. Ours is a long tradition of upholding international law. We shouldn't break it now

Zahra29:
Facts.

According to latest polls, Reform is already within touching distance of Labour. Not great news for Labour, less than 1 year from the GE. This year's local elections should be interesting. And it appears that the UK is moving into a 3-party system for the first time ever.

If she were Osama's incarnate, I would imagine the safest place to live would be beside her,wouldn't it?

On a more serious note, I believe this case turns on only 1 point...Did we make her stateless by removing her citizenship? Then we must reverse that. It's illegal and will be overturned in the courts.

I gather the UK tried this(making stateless) with an Individual ,E3 in 2017. The homeoffice had to reverse that decision. It's just not right.

As to having to let in everyone else who fought for IS, it doesn't necessarily follow as decisions are on a case-by-case basis.

Even worse, you try to redirect traffic to your DM.

That he hasn't made any profits from the investment is also what you think and not factual because Twitter didn't report net profit for some years after the acquisition. So you drew conclusions from the information available to you just like I did.

Viruses:
Besides his wealth, his ownership and control of Twitter contributed to him being one of those crowning the most powerful leader on the planet. As a direct result of that, some of his company's shares got to an all time high skyrocketing his wealth to almost half a trillion which is way more than a £44B increase. This is besides the non financial benefits that if we quantify will still surpass that amount.

Where people capture value might not be where we assume value should come from.

Before you tell me that he could still have supported Trump even if he didn't own Twitter, let me remind you that Trump would still have won without this level of his support (yes he has done it before). So let's not undermine any level of support.

Viruses:
You can be right if you say he hasn't made any money directly from Twitter, but to say he hasn't made profit from the $44B investment is laughable. That guy has made more than $44B not from Twitter but as a result of his ownership of Twitter

Bede2u:
lol, I'm an accountant. Giving financial education is my job.
Interest rates and credit risk means the house you were sold 1 million cad would end up costing you over 1.3 million cad when paying instalments.
How do you think banks make their money!
The only time I suggest credit is credit cards. The interest rate is low and the soft loan comes in handy and increases your credit score once you pay. But if you can afford to pay outright, always choose that option, chances are you are getting it cheaper

Bede2u:
because it's still better than renting but worse than outright purchase

maasoap:
Is this not what she's saying? She didn't say immigrants working abroad are poor, she was saying that there is more to life than working yourself to death.
We all know that for many of our people living abroad, it is always work work work like a horse. The only time they rest is when they take leave and travel back home. Is that the life you want me to envy? Never!

Bede2u:
well i will still say it, as someone who is currently paying off a mortgage, outright buying and mortgage are not the same.
Nigerians own their homes, banks own the homes of most Canadians. The difference becomes clearer if you fall on hard times.

Bede2u:
you mean 'and mortgage one in Canada' if I hear say dem fit buy

Bede2u:
Someone who is earning 4 million naira a month in Nigeria (3000 usd) is richer than someone earning 10,000 Cad a month in Ontario, Canada.

With your 4 million, you are earning almost 50 million a year. A nice duplex in Enugu can be as cheap as 100 million. Your 2 years salary can get you a duplex.
A duplex in Canada is about 1 million cad. Your 120k cad a year will need to be saved for about 9 years to get you the same duplex.

Then there is the issue of community. You have a social life in Nigeria. It comes easy. In Canada, you have to make extra effort to have what resembles a social life.

Most successful Nigerians lived abroad for a while and came back. Think on it if you are a big person in Nigeria currently. The grass is not greener on the other side

Lol@ Tommy Robinson - the defender of English values and the only one speaking the 'truth'
Nigel Farage is not obedient enough to lead the cause.

True, the UK system may have not be as financially laden but it's heavily susceptible to the media. I've noticed that many elements of the Right in the UK are also not huge fans of Trump.

With most of the developed western moving right, the next few years should be interesting. Hopefully its their Brexit moment with similar lessons to be learned

jedisco:
My concern with folks like him is how they can drive the media and consequently drive how people think. That most local UK media are commenting about him shows his reach. All he needs is a local popular politician to be his face/puppet

Elon was not a conservative before. He really kicked off when he felt spited. When Jo Biden invited business leaders to the white house and didn't include him.
Since inception, traditional social media tilted towards the left and were more progressive.
He's cut down all safeguards to having a civil conversation and Twitter is now a freeway for every kind of abuse + p0rn I gather. In todays world with a recent flourish of right wing ideas, it's difficult to say how far he can reach
