The irony that #Trump's #tariffs are killing the #oil industry is amazing. This will make #solar even cheaper in comparison to #Fossil fuels. Drill baby drill doesn't work when the #economics don't work. He's a fucking , no wonder he went #bankrupt so many times. Wouldn't it actually be hilarious if #greenhouse gasses went down over his term

Fuller was one of the century's great nutjobs, a walking unorthodoxy who originally conceived of the
Dymaxion as a flying automobile, or drivable plane, with jet engines and inflatable wings. It would be one link in his vaguely totalitarian plan for the people to live in mass-produced houses deposited on the landscape by dirigibles.
Sen #RonJohnson (R-WI) said he was “disappointed” that the #Trump admin was not considering exclusions to the global #tariffs, & lamented the potential impact on #SmallBusinesses in his state that rely on #trade with a number of foreign companies. “Tariffs are a double edged sword,” Johnson told the trade rep Jamieson Greer, during his hearing before the #Senate #Finance Cmte. Johnson added, “I hope you & the president are sensitive to companies potentially going #bankrupt by these actions.”
#IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a #Trillion Dollars for the #USA #Congress is mute as #trump #doge #maga #GOP #republicans #bankrupt our democracy #taxes #taxation #economy IRS’ internal projections estimate that the DOGE-driven disruptions to the IRS since the inauguration are on track to have reduced #tax receipts by more than $500 billion by April 15th.

And now we know why #Trump #bankrupted so many companies.
Think about it, how bad is your business sense when your #casino goes #bankrupt....
@Wileymiller @GottaLaff and #trump only knows how to #bankrupt busines!

Site neutral payments and US rural hospitals:
The below #Politico article states of Republican budget plans:
It also finds $146 billion in potential savings from so-called site-neutral payment policy in Medicare, a bipartisan target that has been discussed as a potential pay-for in reconciliation.
If you live in a rural area, this change is likely to #bankrupt your local hospital.
Building and maintaining a rural hospital "costs more" because the fixed cost of maintaining an ER, or a labor and delivery center or a suite of 3 surgical rooms is a fixed cost. You can't make it cheaper.

I think this was very much inevitable. The merger I think would’ve been absolute mismatch and DOJ had full right to block it.
Ultimately this is Laker Airways in 80s all over again: getting out priced by competition.
@brianstelter The #OctoberSurprise in the #2024election will *not* be a long #dockworkers #strike.
But it looks like it might be the #bankruptcy of #TrumpMedia. The ‘lucky seventh’ #Trump company to go #bankrupt ?

I HAVE TO BELIEVE that this country hasn't gone so far down the rabbit hole that it would (re)elect a #racist #Hitler-quoting, #SerialSexualAssaulter, #narcissistic, #bankrupt #ConvictedFelon whose ineptitude is responsible for over one-MILLION #Covid deaths, who trashed the #economy and alienated our allies while cozening up to #dictators, stole #ClassifiedDocs, and promised to be "a #DictatorOnDayOne."
We CAN'T be that broken!
