The logic being that there is ~$0.82 USD per KG of fuel cost that has to be accounted for

You only talk like that when you know you're being overheard (and maybe plan to leak it too)

I'm learning a new language right now and I find myself reflecting more and more about the strengths and weaknesses of English.

English is really good at a lot of things including humour and poetry. But it transforms overtime depending on region, culture, demographics, economics, marketing, and politics... which makes miscommunication happen ALL THE TIME.

I say this because you're both right, and it's frustrating because it limits our ability to have a meaningful conversation.

I hope it popularizes the idea of algorithmic control.

Any chance he got all the data and access that he actually wanted, so now he's good?

Thank you! Been looking for it and glad to hear it's in the works.

I think it could be more tactical than simply not using the correct word. Trump has been a grifter his whole life; selling people things and not delivering on them...entering into contracts and not honoring his side of the agreement.

Being a grifter is a pervasive and consistent theme in his life, so when he accuses others of grifting, it indirectly softens those same accusations when levied at him.
