OK, but we have to make it absolutely crystal clear who is doing this, who it's hurting, and who is benefiting. That's why reporting like this is important.

Trump just won an election by blaming democrats for Trump's own terrible economy.

I think a good start would be to stop allowing Republicans to raid Social Security for quick cash, like they've been constantly doing since the Reagan administration.

Yes, it's a payroll tax. Your paycheck may show how much you are paying into Social Security. This is money meant to help you and others after retirement. Musk wants to take that money and instead use it to fill unrelated gaps in the federal budget, gaps caused by Trump's tax cuts for the very wealthy.

Friendly reminder that Social Security is a separate government program that funds itself.

What Musk is talking about is stealing from Social Security in order to cut taxes elsewhere (namely cutting taxes for people like Musk).

Palworld specifically campaigned for the "better with friends" award.

It's unfortunate. Games don't get nominated by being apt for the category, they get nominated by being popular. Heck, last year RDR2 won in this category, and it's never had any community support beyond a bug fix patch or two.

This whole thing is a popularity contest, for the most part. No way anyone nominating or voting in these awards has played more than a few of the eligible games.

TL;DR this is related to Tesla's Autopilot (the rule "requires automakers to report crashes if advanced driver-assistance or autonomous-driving technologies were engaged within 30 seconds of impact"). Musk wants to not be held accountable for damages and casualties caused by his shitty software.

You're right, and that one isn't even hyperbole. They earnestly want to turn the parks into oil fields and cut down the forests.

This has to have been some kind of clerical error, there's no political motivation whatsoever for Biden to have done this.

That being the case, keep publicizing the story, and maybe it will get to the administrations radar. Have the clemencies already been actuated, or is there still time to correct the mistake?

The postal service doesn't lose money, it costs money.

By this logic, the interstate highway system and the military both lose billions! Is Trump going to privatize them too?

I grabbed Deathsprint 66 and Eternights. Thank you, OP!

Another Crab's Treasure, Mars First Logistics, Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers, and Orcs Must Die 3 were all already taken.

That's a valid concern, hopefully Lenovo is smart enough to not insert themselves in the software pipeline between Valve and their customers.
