I love scifi but I have the same complaint. I've always wanted to see a movie where the roles were taken by the opposite sex. The male would fall down and have to be saved instead of the woman. And "man" vs "girl" even when they're the same age. Oh, don't get me started!!!

Why Trump's attempt to influence the Fed could backfire. If investors lose faith in the Fed, they may start demanding higher yields on long-term bonds. That could lead to an increase in the interest rate for mortgages, government debt and more. www.marketplace.org/story/2025/0...

To Zelensky Trump said capital was “most unsafe place anywhere” before deployment of the National Guard. He then told a story about a friend whose golfer son now felt “safe” to go out for dinner, claiming restaurants are booming. Statistics show restaurants have ~30% drop since troops were deployed.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
