For Donald Trump, it’s always personal.
And he leaves this week feeling betrayed.
First, the US supreme court rejected his effort to restrict mail-in ballots ahead of the midterm elections.
“These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court,”
the president wrote on his Truth Socialplatform. “They are merely a shell of their original selves.”
Then the Federal Reserve defied Trump by raising its benchmark interest rate by a quarte…

Anybody have suggestions on a non-enshittified industrial full color label printer? My Brady J2000 has been growing increasingly less reliable lately and I'm starting to think about a replacement.
Looking for a decent selection of chemical and liquid resistant permanent and removeable labels, both die cut and cut-to-length roll stock.

but it is expected to become insolvent in just over six years.
That means raising taxes to shore it up.
And rather than encourage average Americans to sink their money into private equity funds and other exotic investments,
we should allow the Social Security Admini…

Under new European Union rules, businesses must prioritise keeping unsold clothing or shoes in use by selling them (including through discounts or alternative markets), donating them to charities or social enterprises, or preparing them for reuse (repairing, refurbishing or remanufacturing).
Destruction will be allowed only under specified circumstances and must be carried out in accordance with the waste treatment hierarchy, giving priority to recycling

When the Department of Justice indicted 15 Minnesotans earlier this summer, it was painfully clear that this was a cobbled-together mess,
a transparent attempt to criminalize dissent.
But boy, we didn’t know the half of it.
Now, thanks to those defendants prying loose some discovery from the government, we know just how far the administration is willing to go
— and it’s really, really grim, even by Trumpian standards.
The indictment itself was jaw-dropping for…
