Mark Zuckerberg offered to 'help' Elon Musk with DOGE in 2025

This reads like Zuck trying to insert himself as it was apparent to him that Elon was making a name for himself in the admin, had unprecedented access, and Zuck wanted a piece of that.

Funnily, he's acting exactly like Elon did in the Epstein emails. "Yo yo fellow govt efficiency aficionados! I got my teams on high alert to help you guyz out! Let me know when's the cool stuff happening!"

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy

One of the things the article says is that "most people want newer phones" (if they could afford it). Do y'all feel that way?

I think I wouldn't switch my 4 year old device even if someone gave me a new one for free. Just the hassle of changing to a new phone is not worth it when the new phone isn't that much better. I'm just so over "tech". I don't have that excitement of new gadgets anymore.

Depending on when it was inflation could drive their costs up 3-5% over a year. When your margins are basically fixed by the govt at 12%, it makes sense to cover as much cost as they can.

The whole incentive structure is messed up because the govt "runs" defense companies like they are state owned without actually just making them state owned, or just letting them actually be private.
