Hello friends.

I’ve seen a few posts of people fighting for AC units. So I checked some comments, but I couldn’t find any good answers about if the shortage of AC units is real and widespread, or these were just a few accidents at random stores that ran out of stock.

If it’s really a problem to buy an AC, are there any other consumer appliances, electronic, etc that is hard to get? And why do you think there’s a shortage? Usually, companies can source a lot of inventory, and shortages last maybe a day or two max.

I’m just curious about what’s going on with small business in France.

Imagine being a 45+ yo, applying for a job, only to waste your time on the interview because it’s been decided already by the management to hire someone under 30. And the people in management aren’t some dicks, they just can’t put it in their posting because it’s prohibited by the government. And they can’t even tell you that they are not dicks, because if they do, you can take them to court, and you will win a lawsuit against them for discrimination based on the age.

So you go from interview to interview… Getting rejected. Wasting your time. Getting discouraged. But it didn’t have to be that way. You see, the government cares for you. You must suffer.

Hi Pros,

For those of you who work with licensed contractors in the U.S. and collect Certificates of Insurance (COIs) from your clients, would you consider promoting an insurance agency to them?

I have no idea about rules and ethics in marketing industry, so please don’t hate me if that’s a big No in your field.

Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

My old PC died, and now I need to reinstall MS Office on my new one. The old PC won’t even turn on. Is there a way to deactivate my license online so I can activate it again on my new PC?

Edit: The license was purchased on Groupon. Below is the msg I’m getting during activation attempt on my new PC.

“Your installation cannot be activated because you have activated up to the limit of your Multiple Activation Key. Consult your administrator for further help

Great podcast. A perfect demonstration of how statist’s logic works by Rothman, the statist.

Anyone thinking it’s organic is a moron.

Most people know that it’s better in the US vs most of the world, and it doesn’t require some fake social media trend, migration trends has been proving it for decades.

What I genuinely don’t understand is what is the goal and why now? Like who’s the target here? A small percentage of American leftists who think it’s better in Europe or somewhere else? These people aren’t going to change their mind because Jeep Wagoneer has cooling seats, or because Texas BBQ is fucking amazing. Is the goal to spark a waive of immigration from other western countries to the US?

What do you guys think about this trend?

And it will be Republican politicians that will take it away and Republican voters that will allow this to happen.

Just to clarify - 2A is going to continue to exist, but only on paper. In practical terms, it will become extremely difficult to purchase. Carrying will slowly be outlawed via restrictive regulations, and you’re probably going to need some “valid” reason to justify having a firearm on your person while out in public. At this point, if you’d get arrested and luckily survive the encounter with cops when you have a firearm on you, it’s going to be up the the prosecutors and judges that will determine whether you were carrying lawfully or not.

I don’t know about you, dear reader, but in my opinion, over the last 80 or so years, the Supreme Court justices have shown that they are absolutely willing to play along with politicians. State courts are not even worth talking about here. The most obvious example of last decades is how they treat 4A - you’ve got no right to privacy and you’ll be robbed in daylight if law enforcement agents want your cash (look up Third-party Doctrine and Civil Asset Forfeiture if you’re not sure what I’m taking about).

“Back the blue line” crowd consists predominantly from Republican voters. Most cops don’t respect civil liberties, they see regular citizens as subhumans and Republican politicians couldn’t give less of a fuck about it, otherwise there would be some significant reforms to policing in red states. But that’s not happening.

Republicans voted for Trump after his famous remark “take the guns first…”. Both, republican voters and politicians, have been limp dicks for the past year and a half since Trump took the office again and been on a mission of fucking people over. And it will be the same limp dick reaction when states’ and federal government will slowly, legislation by legislation, state after state, will effectively outlaw firearm ownership and carry.

As it usually happens with anything that affects the 2A, it’s probably going to be the Democrats presenting some new legislations, but as it always happens, there will be just enough Republicans that will help to push it through, or Republicans will simply suck so much that they won’t even have enough seats in Congress to affect the outcomes of the vote. Supreme Court justices will say - the Congress writes the law, and the story will be over.

Of course it will be presented as “look at those bad Democrats”, so the sheeple can be outraged at their fellow neighbors. But ultimately, it will be the republicans that are going to allow that to happen, but they will deny any responsibility. They’ll scream RINO, but they’ll never go to their state capital and demand a secession.

I’m ready to bet that in 2 generations or less, the Americans will effectively lose the 2A.

I’ve been thinking of this for sometime, and I wonder if you guys have any thoughts about this.

Watching people beat up sports fans from rival teams made me realize how much tension is out there today. Yeah, clashes between fans happened all the time, but I don’t remember it’s being that stupid where groups of people attack someone wearing a shirt of another team.

Or like videos of bums being beaten because “they were the jurors” on K. Antony’s case (what tf even happened there? I have zero knowledge about it).

Clashes with ICE.

Left vs Right violence that never stopped, but no longer being amplified in the news.

There’s just so much tension in the society, and the state can’t contain it. Most likely it fuels it, though I don’t have any direct evidence to share here.

Last time there was so much tension it all broke out in George Floyd riots, and the world got shutdown for corona, which gave the government power to further its dystopian agenda by usurping more power.

What am I missing guys? Or I’m exaggerating and it’s all business as usual?

“WASHINGTON, April 30, 2026—In an effort to stop illegal calls before they ever reach the American people, the Federal Communications Commission today adopted an item seeking to strengthen its “Know-Your-Customer” (KYC) rules for voice service providers. By screening new and renewing customers, originating voice service providers are in the best position to prevent scammers and other bad actors from flooding telecommunications networks with illegal calls”

If we assume this is being done in good faith, than this is another proof that government agencies are nearly useless, if not completely useless. Scammers had been spoofing caller IDs for a couple of years now, and this stupid tightening won’t do shit about the problem they supposedly want to resolve.

But it’s easy to understand what it is. It’s a fuck you and your privacy, that’s what it is.
