big bother and

his guilt’d age… tariff is the big word for tax . and the import tax the tariff big Trump and his hold-up company levied was against American business . it was paid for by Americans ,by American taxpayers , by the Republik guns party.

let the real fun begin .

still, not understanding the way of reality: “As time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern day system of income tax, taking a great burden off the people that I love,” he said.

presumably ,the people he loves means the folks who stay at Mar-a-Lago .

note1: “Customs is setting up a process for importers to collect refunds. Those refunds will be processed over time, so there won’t be a sudden, overnight windfall to importers,” said Nazak Nikakhtar, who worked on trade issues at the Commerce Department during the first Trump administration and is now a partner at the law firm Wiley Rein. “Their customers, however, who hadn’t independently negotiated tariff refunds might be left without any recourse.”

note2: U.S. importers of record who directly paid the tariffs or the person who takes ownership of the goods once they have cleared customs (the “consignee”) may be eligible for a refund.

Businesses that did not directly pay the tariffs are not eligible for a refund.

Refunds are only available for tariffs applied under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA). This includes tariffs commonly known as “fentanyl,” “trafficking,” “reciprocal,” or “baseline” tariffs, as well as some other tariffs applied to goods from Brazil and India.

Refunds are not available for so-called Section 232, Section 301, Section 201, anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVDs), or most-favored nation (MFN) tariffs.

Since last November I have been aggressively reading about and testing AI systems in familiar topics. in the months since November I’ve read ,on average, seven articles a day … These have resulted in several static pages along with a dozen draft posts ..time for a marker..

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.H.P.

the types of queries i’ve posed are about details of silicon valley as business and social model. additionally, i have asked for code snippets. these they provide readily… even being able to translate cross languges, with one suprising failure: mistaking dartmouth basic as the DART language.

none of the models correctly answered chem questions from this bank of texts.

it can code because the compiler error checks .. those fields without intermediate verification systems are subject to failure of vocabulary — it sounds good..
