Blame the AI investors. The reason Apple is raising prices now on everything from phones, to iPads, to MacBooks is the RAM manufacturing companies’ shift away from consumer-oriented RAM to high-speed data center RAM where they can make more money. Apple wants to keep the same margins, so up goes the price.

Try to stay within the realm of the possible and not veer off into ridiculous conspiracy theories. It’s less than 100 days till the election, so try really hard. You can do it!

Thanks for that, but I’m still confused! I thought TurtleMan Mitch had already left the planet and all the pics were just for amusement. And I checked the Huffpost for morning headlines and Gov Beshear is calling out McConnell. Does anyone have the real dirt? Or as the song asks, does anyone know what time it is?

Trump in recent days has again demanded that both Houses of Congress turn their attention to the SAVE Act and the SAVE Act alone. He has threatened not to sign any legislation until the SAVE Act is passed. In a Monday Truth Social post, he insisted that the Senate delay its recess, and that it nuke the filibuster. “Stupidity always brings LOSING & DEATH!” he warned Thune.

I’m kinda thinking it’s explosive diarrhea? RFK Jr will rush to the WH, call it a 3 day purge, followed by dehydration and death. Keeping it simple.
