Ok. So. The US imports more peanut butter than we export- by ~20,000 metric tons.

20K tons isn't much compared to other goods. But it's also a lot, considering the US grows 2.75M tons of peanuts/yr.

Why? Well, the US exports peanuts to other countries. They make the butter & sell it back to us.

you’re telling me that yet another one of these guys is a degenerate sex criminal? i’m shocked

digital art of imogen and laudna from critical role. They're holding hands, as if dancing, wearing intricate outfits which goes opposite to the backgrounds they're in. Laudna is in a bright background with golden sun and mountains with light clouds. Imogen is in a night-like background with a crescent and full red moon, the background has gradient shapes. The sides are intricate columns. The lower part of the background splits, also showing opposite colors to the background. Laudna's dress widens and has gold patterns, her long dress goes from purple to black gradient. Imogen's light dress is cloud-like shape and widens.

Why would you make your narrator unreliable. I trusted you and purchased this book and this is how you repay me

Obviously it's already very bad and could wind up much worse, but there's a rough chuckle in the fact that the most consequential technological breach of and greatest risk to the federal government wasn't the result of brilliant hacking but one rich shithead getting some groyper twerps key cards.

Elon Musk Hollows Government So Trump Can Refill It From Marc | In more than 30 lawsuits filed against the new administration, the government has not won one on the merits.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Lol. Lmao

Elon Musk’s Bureaucratic Coup Welcome to the “rapid unscheduled disassembly” of the United States government.

I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)
