Diddy Trial

I sometimes check in on the trial of P Diddy, the music industry bigwig facing several US federal criminal charges. I embed here, Nate The Lawyer who outlines the charges Diddy faces, and how the trial is progressing.

The short answer: the trial is not going well for Diddy. 

What I want to know is how Diddy managed to make so much money while being so incredibly stupid? All this activity of his was very hard work (excuse the pun), and never going to end well. I saw reports on Cassie Ventura and Dawn Richard's testimony (many may remember, she was one of the two black women in Diddy's 'Coming Home' video) which were very damning. He's facing life in prison when he could be sitting on a beach somewhere, fishing.

DOGE

Turns out that DOGE probably wasn't about spending cuts, as those cuts have been cancelled. What it may have been about is building a massive database for building a social credit system, basically monitoring and controlling everyone. 

It does make you wonder as US defense spending has increased. Where are the savings?
