Sure Why Not
Democrat brain.
US forces will build a temporary port on the Gaza shoreline in the next few weeks to allow delivery of humanitarian aid on a large scale, Joe Biden will announce in the State of the Union speech.The most absurd solution must be the best.
...The Democrats!
The President and leading senators can't stop talking about the broder crisis and the governor of New York has sent the National Guard into the subway to (lol) check bags because of CRIME, proving she's never actually ridden the subway. And we get this from one of the NYT editorial board members:
We don't need Fox to claim the border is being overrun and liberal cities need to be pacified by the military! They're arguing it themselves!
They won't miss me, but I won't go to New York as long as they are doing that.
The National Guard Might Help Subway Riders Feel SaferThose paragraphs basically contradict each other! Don't worry, the men with guns aren't there's because of YOU, they are there because of THOSE PEOPLE, and some kid in the guard from Utica - absolutely not trained for his - knows the difference, you know, somehow!
New York City cannot function without a thriving subway, and ensuring that the system not only is safe but feels safe is paramount.

Her concern is understandable: In the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations, the New York Police Department for years conducted millions of illegal street stops, overwhelmingly of innocent young Black and Hispanic men. But that history isn’t a reason to stop the deployment of responsible policing where and when it is needed.
Hochul could reduce those doubts by making it clear that the mission of these officers and Guardsmen isn’t to harass any New Yorkers, but to provide a law enforcement presence that deters violent crime.
We don't need Fox to claim the border is being overrun and liberal cities need to be pacified by the military! They're arguing it themselves!
They won't miss me, but I won't go to New York as long as they are doing that.

WHAT CAN BIDEN DOOOOOOO
No way to save face, really, so...
Israel, like most militaries, does not routinely disclose data about its weapons expenditures, but in the first week of the war, it said it had dropped 6,000 bombs on Gaza. As the conflict drags on, Israel’s reliance on the United States to sustain the campaign has become ever more clear, said Konyndyk, the former Biden administration official.
“The U.S. cannot maintain that, on the one hand, Israel is a sovereign state that’s making its own decisions and we’re not going to second guess them, and, on the other hand, transfer this level of armament in such a short time and somehow act as if we are not directly involved,” he said.
"Face-Saving"
It's good if they resume the funding (I don't care who administers aid as long as it gets in), but it's important to understand what's being admitted here: you can't reverse catstrophic decisions until you figure out some way to let the people who made them keep their reputations intact.
The British government has a plan in place to resume funding to the United Nations' agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, Middle East Eye has learnt from a parliamentary source with direct knowledge of the matter.And, in this case, the faces that need to be saved are largely the ghouls in the US State Department.
A second source told MEE that a little over a week after the UK announced it was pausing its funding to the UN agency, Foreign Secretary David Cameron acknowledged the decision had been "too hasty" and was looking for face-saving measures to reinstate it.
Nobody Goes There Anymore, Its Too Popular
I'm definitely in the "EVs will not save the world" camp for a variety of reasons (which does not mean they are bad) but are the any editors left at the NYT who aren't stunted failsons?
Still, demand for E.V.s has cooled, a sign, industry experts say, that the hard part may just be starting for the budding electric vehicle transition.
“We’re starting to see E.V.s having to move more into the mainstream market and become desirable to everyone rather than just the early adopters and evangelists,” said Jessica Caldwell, the head of insights at Edmunds, a website that tracks the automotive industry.
...
Analysts expect the American electric vehicle market to continue growing in 2024, but at a slower pace. Nationally, E.V. sales were up 46 percent between 2022 and 2023, according to Kelley Blue Book. This year, sales are forecast to grow around 20 to 30 percent.

If You Ignore What They Are Saying And Doing
Then you can easily pretend ethnic cleansing is not the purpose.
Oh Elmo
Hilarious.
Musk, who was part of OpenAI’s founding team, claimed in the suit he filed last week that it had breached an agreement to make breakthroughs in AI “freely available to the public” by forming a multibillion-dollar alliance with Microsoft, which has committed $13bn to the company.Also he joined in the effort to oust the Austin DA, which failed yesterday.

“In late 2017, we and Elon decided the next step for the mission was to create a for-profit entity. Elon wanted majority equity, initial board control, and to be CEO. In the middle of these discussions, he withheld funding,” according to the blog post.
“We couldn’t agree to terms on a for-profit with Elon because we felt it was against the mission for any individual to have absolute control over OpenAI. He then suggested instead merging OpenAI into Tesla. In early February 2018, Elon forwarded us an email suggesting that OpenAI should ‘attach to Tesla as its cash cow’,” Altman and his colleagues wrote on Tuesday.
