The bit about there being more job openings is probably true. All those migrant workers he’s been deporting are probably leaving job openings. Not the one Americans are wanting to fill, mind.

Switzerland stuck to their principles and got slapped with a 39% tariff. Their economy is going to take a huge hit for this. Qatar sucked up and bribed Trump with a plane. They got a 0% tariff.

I guess it’s not impossible. Trump is known for shaking people’s hands in an obnoxiously hard way to make them look weak, and a few who caught on returned the favor.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.
