This is far from the first time the president has struggled trying to explain a policy idea.
“Drug prices will come down by, much more really if you think—59, if you think of sometimes a drug that is 10 times more expensive ... But between 59 and 80, and I guess even 90 percent.” Which one is it?

You’d think by now more people would stop repeating garbage Trump says at face value. The President does not have the power to unilaterally reduce drug prices by 30% overnight.
Democrats actually did do this through Congress with the Inflation Reduction Act. Maybe he could try that.

"Tiny Forest documentary about the effects of the Miyawaki method in the Netherlands" [9:55 min]

Quote by IVNN:
"Feb 17, 2021
In December 2015 IVN Natuureducatie invited TED-talk speaker Shubhendu Sharma to the Netherlands for a special initiative: we planted our very first Tiny Forest. Together with Sharma, the municipality of Zaandam, Hoek Gardener, school children and local residents we planted the first Tiny Forest, right in the center of the town Zaandam.
A Tiny Forests® is a densely packed native forests, that fits into the size of a tennis court. The forest is not just an pleasant spot for butterflies, birds, bees and small mammals; it is a great place for people too. In the outdoor classroom, children learn about nature and it also serves as a meeting place for the local community.
We created a documentary about the effects of the Miyawaki method in the Netherlands. Did it work? Watch the video and find out.

For Silicon Valley, AI isn’t just about replacing some jobs. It’s about replacing all of them
"...I recently found myself at a dinner in an upstairs room at a restaurant in San Francisco hosted by a venture capital firm. The after-dinner speaker was a tech veteran who, having sold his AI company for hundreds of millions of dollars, has now turned his hand to investing. He had a simple message for the assembled startup founders: the money you can make in AI isn’t limited to the paltry market sizes of previous technology waves. You can replace the world’s workers – which means you can capture their salaries. All of them...."

Urgent #MutualAidRequest to help a disabled trans couple stay fed and safe
Goal:
$0/$200
Hello. My partner @LukeOrion and I are a couple of disabled trans artists/musicians who recently escaped homelessness. Unfortunately we have been running into mechanical problems with our RV that has made getting back on our feet difficult.
We are trying to raise $200 (by tomorrow 11am MST the latest) to be able to cover booking two more nights at the RV park and being able to get us food so we can stay fed over the next couple days. Because of the engine issues, it’s not safe for us to travel long distances until we can get into a mechanic (more information is in our fundrazr) and because we’re stuck in South Dakota right now specifically, it’s not a safe place for us to try and get by crashing in parking lots. We also don’t have a working generator on our RV and staying at the RV park gives us access to electricity and the ability to be productive.
Speaking of being productive, Luke does digital art commissions. Art commissions are as helpful as direct donations for us. You can find more information on their profile if you’re interested: indiepocalypse.social/@LukeOri…
Please boost and help keep a disabled trans couple currently stuck in a red state fed and safe. Thank you!

We didn't get any additional donations and had to use $20 that was supposed to go towards getting the RV into a mechanic towards tonight.
Really hoping that @LukeOrion and I can raise at least $53 by the morning to cover being able to stay another night here.

in reply to Giacinto Boccia • • •L'immagine mostra una mappa dettagliata di una città italiana, probabilmente Napoli, con una combinazione di strade, edifici e punti di interesse. La mappa è colorata con diverse linee che indicano percorsi, probabilmente per un servizio di trasporto pubblico o un'indicazione di rotta. Le strade sono etichettate con nomi in italiano, come "Via Toledo," "Via San Giacomo," "Via dei Grechi," e "Via Amedeo di Savoia." Ci sono anche simboli che rappresentano luoghi di interesse, come chiese, parcheggi, edifici governativi e monumenti, come il "Teatro di San Carlo" e il "Municipio." La mappa include anche simboli per parcheggi e aree di sosta. In basso a sinistra, si trova il "Teatro di San Carlo," un importante teatro d'opera, e in basso a destra, il "Molo Angiolino," un molo portuale. La mappa è dettagliata e fornisce una visione chiara della disposizione delle strade e dei punti di interesse nella zona.

L'immagine mostra una mappa dettagliata di una città italiana, probabilmente Napoli, con una rappresentazione di due percorsi di trasporto pubblico. I percorsi sono evidenziati con linee colorate: una linea arancione e una linea blu. La linea arancione sembra seguire un percorso più tortuoso, attraversando diverse strade e quartieri, mentre la linea blu segue un percorso più diretto, passando attraverso le principali arterie della città.
La mappa include numerose strade, piazze e edifici importanti, come il Palazzo Trattucci, la Galleria Umberto I e il Teatro di San Carlo. Inoltre, sono presenti simboli che indicano luoghi di interesse, come chiese, parcheggi e stazioni di metropolitana. La mappa è dettagliata e fornisce informazioni su punti di riferimento chiave, come il Municipio, il Porto di Napoli e il Molo Angiolino.
La presenza di simboli per parcheggi e stazioni di metropolitana suggerisce che la mappa è utilizzata per la navigazione e la pianificazione dei viaggi. La mappa è in italiano e include nomi di strade e luoghi in italiano, come Via Toledo, Via San Giacomo e Piazza Municipio.
