Can any of them do construction?

There has been a huge craftsman shortage for quite awhile now...college kids are stupid, craftsman make just a much, if not more, than the non-pro degrees they end up with. This was a few years back, Plumbers were charging $200 an hour...which was a little more than Electricians...back then, guessing it is close to the same now...

Trump’s gives middle finger to the affordability crisis.

IRS announced it’s killing Direct File for 2026 — the only free tax-filing option that saved Americans $5.6M last year.

Trump — whose inaugural committee took $1M from TurboTax’s parent company — jumped on Truth Social saying household costs aren’t rising and the “affordability issue is DEAD.”So—They killed the free option, protected the corporations, and told Americans the crisis doesn’t exist.

That is unless Trump bails them out ….

And Likely a rally after the criminals, er I mean Congress, votes to end the shutdown.
Great short opportunity
 


AI top ? Hmm

As I understand it, the AI battle is similar to the moon shot or Manhattan project vs China this time

US tax payers are to be the "backstop" for what is considered strategic industries.

SOME will become insanely rich playing this Government backed game ..

Guess some will lose in this game also

Not all companies started will make it
