What is? Several companies sell LPR cameras to state and local govts including Motorola but they aren't based in Atlanta.

Flock HQ is in Atlanta.

Almost certainly a flock camera that uses ai to read and catalog various identifying features on your car like license plate, bumper stickers, dents etc

Its all stored in a database that is used (so were told) by law enforcement and the city entities who are paying/subscribing to the service.

Problem is there is almost no oversight or real choice in the matter for every day citizens. We just get to be tracked everywhere we go.

Its a slippery slope and not a fun one. Who needs civil liberties anyway.


Biggest concern i have is how much money and growth they have raised in such a short time. Someone really wants this to be happening and its not the people just living their lives.

Obama and the dems didn’t think so when they passed the law, which is why you only benefited from subsidies starting in 2021 and not 2013-2021

Technically true 13 years later, but i wasnt making what I make now at that point. Specific to my situation that isnt factoring in career/financial growth. Through out 2013-2021 we were just barely under the limit of still getting subsidies, it was usually very minimal 1000-1200 a year in assistance. Insurance costs also have not stayed at the levels they were in 2013 subsidies or not.

Subsidies took effect up to 400% of the federal poverty limit, which is still over 100k for a family of 4.

There are plenty of people in my situation that got left staring down a $15,000 immediate increase to their health insurance and decided to just hope for the best and save the $30,000 in subscription based premiums.

Obamacare is horrendous and should be gutted and thrown out. But there is more to the 3 million drop in enrollment than just fraud.

Yea I did not enroll this year. Self employed so its my only real option.

My monthly premium for the family went from $1200 a month to $2500 a month when congress let the subsidies expire.

Obamacare has been a disaster. But it sure would have been nice if they could have done something to fix it (ideally just get rid of it) or at least put something in place to give people better options in the interim.

Your 3 choices are omitting a real outcome for a lot of the middle class.

This is 2nd video is Ai, watch the shoes closely. One of the shoes just teleports away and then back mid way through the fall.

Gotta love this new world we live in where we have to over analyze everything to see if its real or not.

Wait so not only is he doing a job based on national intelligence which he doesn't seem very experienced in he is also keeping his other role?

So our national intelligence is being run by a person moonlighting as a national intelligence director?

We really thought this one through huh

He wanted Oman and Iran to be able to charge a toll on a strait used for majority of the regions oil, that was previously considered international water and free to use?

So the Strait that was open is now open with the added bonus of passage has to be coordinated with the Iranian military?

We sure showed them

Jobs were revised down by 400,000 for all of 2025 in February 2026: Starting at 584,000 ending at about 181,000. Ending at about 15,000 per month which is abysmally bad and insane that there was such a massive swing in the revising process.

This month seems great and the number alone would eclipse all of 2025, but we unfortunately have to wait to see if it holds, because they were only off a mere 222.65% for all of last year.

I already know how my statement is going to go to people here.

But the truth is the new Chinese EVs are way ahead of what people give them credit for. The days of laughing off anything and everything produced in China "should" be behind us. They are innovating and they are doing so at a price-point that actually makes sense.

This isnt to say we should be buying chinese vehicles. But we also shouldn't be writing them off because they come from China. Elon/our auto industry needs to wake up and realize the products are not quite the front runner we think it is and adapt.

They really are not.

Everyone here is on septic for the most part, the water systems in place are not built for the amount of water needed to have that size population added.

This area is rural, old homes built in the 50s. The growth moving away from Atlanta is just now starting to reach this county. Our infrastructure in a lot of regards is really not great. And hasnt been retrofitted in a major way in decades.
