How much would Trump's plans for deportations, tariffs, and the Fed damage the US economy?
  • To me, it seems obvious that Trump’s plans for deportations, tariffs, and controlling the Fed would likely damage the US economy significantly by disrupting labor markets, increasing consumer prices through tariffs, creating trade tensions affecting exports and imports negatively, causing market volatility due to undermined confidence in Federal Reserve independence, and introducing inflation risks associated with poorly timed monetary interventions.

  • Luis Elizondo appeared on The Daily Show last night. I am very disappointed.
  • Watching it last night, I thought The Daily Show was on brand but a little underprepared about the subject. Also, Chang's outbursts of "Aliens" every 30 seconds got a little worn out by the end, it kind of had its place though in order to keep things upbeat. For me it was a step in the right direction away from all the political drama at the moment. Why were you so disappointed?

  • The next generation of Buffetts is poised to become one of the biggest forces in philanthropy
  • Let's thank the brilliant tax system that makes it easier for billionaires to amass great fortunes and, through their charitable contributions, gain influence over how complex social problems are addressed and finally, the sway to manipulate them.

    What Ticketmaster Doesn't Want You To Know: Concerts Were Cheap For Decades

    Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn't use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.

    Advice on Using WhatsApp Safely with Dual SIM for Privacy

    Hi all, I'm looking into ways to protect my privacy while using WhatsApp, particularly in a professional setting where separating personal and work-related communications is crucial. I'm thinking of buying a dual SIM phone and am considering strategies to sandbox my personal contacts, pictures, and media from those associated with my work profile on WhatsApp.

    Has anyone successfully done this using two SIM cards on the same device? I'm staunchly anti-Facebook and its obtrusive privacy-related practices, so ideally I want to prevent cross-contamination of personal and work-related data, including contacts, photos, and media shared through the app. Will this be a good strategy? Are there any known risks or precautions I should take to minimize the risk of my data being shared or accessed by third parties? - Thanks all, I'd appreciate any comments.

    What are people using to access Lemmy using a desktop, what are the preferred apps or clients that you use on either Mac or Windows.

    There are plenty of third party apps for Lemmy on Android/iPhone or Web, but are there any decent apps built for desktop use? Is it just simply a matter of relying on a web interface currently, or are there any well rounded apps out there that are worth mentioning.
