If it gets your house it can max your CC debt, even after insurance.
Trust me, you don't want any part of that
BTW, go video everything you own, right now, and store that vid someplace safe.

Corporations are reeling after finding that the cost to access powerful AI tools is soaring — despite showing no clear payoff. In one particularly unfortunate incident, according to Axios, the CFO of a company accidentally racked up half a billion dollars in Claude usage fees in a single month.
Put simply, the horrible economics of AI are finally starting to rear their ugly head. Astronomical capital expenditures by AI companies are starting to trickle down to users — and they’re not liking what they’re seeing.
Meanwhile, as the Wall Street Journal reports, executives at OpenAI are pondering whether to kick off a price war with the company’s biggest competitor, Anthropic. By dramatically lowering prices, the company’s reportedly hoping to steal users, while also anticipating similar price cuts by its competitor.
Put simply, pricing is turning into a major headache for AI leaders.
“That went from, at the beginning of this year, an issue that never came up — people were totally happy with the amount they were spending — to all of a sudden, a huge issue,” OpenAI CEO Altman admitted during an event last week.
“I think we’ll have a lot of ways we can help people get more value for less spend,” he added.
It’s a major conundrum for all players involved. AI companies have been bleeding tens of billions of dollars as costs for data center construction projects mount. Cutting prices now could make the situation even more dire, deteriorating already disastrous profit margins..."

Natives need to bear firmly in mind that if the demographics of this nation wildly vary from the traditional white majority, it won't be some great development for us.
It will be the opposite. We share a history with the whites, good and bad, but it's behind us now. The whites like and admire us, and as little as some of us want to admit it, they have helped us enormously.
The newcomers don't give a damn about us. We have no history with Pakistanis or Afghans or whoever. They are coming to conquer, that's it.
If we don't stand with the whites, we will fall together. It's that simple.

Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening. Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others. The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized — Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly.

« on: June 11, 2026, 09:07:46 am »"For many older millennials—now in their 40s—it's time to play catch-up.
"According to a report by Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, the median retirement savings for this group sits at $73,000. That's $427,000 less than the $500,000 target most 40-somethings believe they'll need and nowhere near the $1.6 million experts actually recommend. "
What planet is this?
