they're completely eliminating the diesel. future everything volvo will be electric.

Volvo'changes to that effect were announced in 2023 and 2024, and despite some major concessions over the years by the UAW
volvo is a classic example of what trump is trying to change with his tariff policy. most of what they make is assembled here with parts made elsewhere. . they are building a large plant in mexico despite promises to keep union jobs here.

Volvo's changes were implemented prior to trump and despite some major concessions over the years by the UAW

I wonder how that's going developing an all electric semi?

I guess we'll find out. But Volvo and what they're doing is exactly why trumps is changing the tariff policies.

DoEd to Restart Involuntary Student Debt Collection After Pandemic Pause

The Department of Education is gearing up to restart involuntary debt collection on its defaulted federal student loan portfolio after pausing collection during the pandemic.

“American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,” U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement.


“The Biden Administration misled borrowers: the executive branch does not have the constitutional authority to wipe debt away, nor do the loan balances simply disappear,” McMahon continued. “Hundreds of billions have already been transferred to taxpayers. Going forward, the Department of Education, in conjunction with the Department of Treasury, will shepherd the student loan program responsibly and according to the law.

Cleaning up another mess left by Biden.

Not without being impregnated. Has someone been pushing the idea that virgins can give birth here in 2025 or is it just that one woman in the Bible story?

To be fair, who’s been pushing the idea that men can give birth in 2025? Seemed to be a talking point on the right for several years that it was mainstream leftist thinking and yet I don’t recall that ever being a main idea coming front the left. Just accusations from the right.

Surely you’ll find far more folks both left and right pushing some idea about virgin birth in 2025. Why one is more acceptable or plausible than the other is odd. Even more glaring is how neither occurrence would change my day to day life one bit.

Now a wannabe dictator with a sophomoric grasp on international economics and politics ruining decades long military and economic alliances on an on an “on again off again” whim poses a bit more of an issue in day to day life.

This is America. That hasn’t meant anything for a decades.

That's because in reality there's a 'want' for immigrants. Not a need.

Because immigrants can be more easily intimidated, taken advantage of, and abused.

So would millions of forced deportations coupled with a massive recession and pandemic level layoffs create a more pliable American workforce? One that can be “more easily intimidated, taken advantage of, and abused”?
