Only about 8 news items today have given me nausea. And this is one of them. Elevate Musk please. We need him to run the country. At least to run the stock market...and space.

That just won't happen. Like most developed countries these days, Switzerland has negative natural population growth. Immigration is the only way population is growing.

Why? They've learned from Republicans that offensive tats can be dismissed as "locker room indiscretion" and alleged roughness towards women is simply a byproduct of "warrior ethos."

What does that mean though?

The NASDAQ rewrites the rules for 1 company and the stock represents shares in a company that not only lost money but has no real plan for profitability.

So how does Trump justify increasing the military budget by 500 billion dollars when he wants to reduce one of its primary responsibilities?

Apparently, not nearly as obsessed as you are with Trump, since you continue to wear the Trump kneepads 24/7. How does it feel to be a cultist POS?

Great sign of the times for women. DEI has eradicated Women's Studies. The Republicans in the South have eradicated women's health rights. Trump himself abuses women in many ways.

Great times for women!

Iesus Christus, that's pedantic.

Sorry, we all think you're a joule, or possibly a killer-joule the way you distract us from getting any work done.

• A permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.

• The United States and its allies would be required to present reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion.

• A U.S. commitment not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs and to respect the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

• Full lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.

• A U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from areas surrounding Iran.

• Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under arrangements determined by Iran.

• Suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products, and related derivatives, along with full Iranian access to the resulting financial revenues.

• A 60-day negotiation period aimed at reaching a final agreement covering nuclear issues and the complete removal of U.S. primary and secondary sanctions, as well as the repeal of relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and the IAEA Board of Governors.

• Reaffirmation by Iran of its commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) not to produce nuclear weapons.

• During the negotiation period, the United States would commit not to deploy additional forces to the region and not to impose any new sanctions.

• The release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets during the 60-day final negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before negotiations begin.

• Establishment of a monitoring mechanism to oversee implementation of the agreement.

• The final agreement would be approved through a UN Security Council resolution.

• Final negotiations would not begin before the release of half of Iran’s frozen assets, the suspension of oil sanctions, and the lifting of the naval blockade.

• The final agreement would focus exclusively on the future of enriched nuclear material and uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and a program for rebuilding Iran’s economy. Discussion of Iran’s missile program and its support for resistance groups would be definitively excluded from the agenda.
