We can expect it to change actually. We’ve known for decades that we’re entering another multi polar era. One of the biggest criticisms of GOP presidents since Reagan is their cavalier attitude to this fact. They keep trying to strong arm other countries like there’s no alternatives and every time they do that they generate political will to move away from the US in other countries.

We shouldn’t be shopping at Walmart either if we can avoid it.

The Sig Saur rifle was approved because TRADOC needed a way to force soldiers to actually take just 210 rounds into combat. As opposed to stuffing every possible space on themselves with extra magazines like some kind of crazed ammo packrat.

Until we reintroduce the tactical wheelbarrow at any rate.

Bwahahahahahahahaha!

Who do you think is having unrestrained spread of disease in their herds?

There’s been multiple reports over the years about how America is vulnerable to disease in livestock and plants. So I’m not really shocked.

It doesn’t need to be a big instance. It just needs to link with them. In fact it’s better if it never shows up in posts or comments at all. Just send those tendrils out to every instance they know of and let their data tools filter through it all.

It’s already illegal to shoot at things in the sky unless you’re a government agent or soldier. And they aren’t about to start dropping things unless drones are getting in the way of stuff on the joint military base in NJ or at Newark Liberty Airport.

I can buy a keypad lock box on Amazon right now…

I’d be more inclined to look at state licensing and paperwork standards if you’re looking for barriers to entry.

Hilariously Arizonans are super afraid of the CHP. In Arizona all you hear is they’ll get you for speeding too fast. So they will drive 95 all the way to the state border and then do the exact speed limit in California. It’s also fun in reverse. I lived in Northern Arizona for a while and every time it snowed the tourists from California and Southern Arizona had no clue what to do in it. So many cars in snow banks, just so many. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person in the American Southwest that knows what to do in Sand storms, Blizzards, and Thunder storms.

My parents have been very clear, there is no inheritance. I love them but when we were young adults they bought into the idea that getting college degrees would set us up for life and they decided to coast on their early retirement instead of buying property and getting real assets to hand down.

Yup we just need to travel back in time, attend a select private university, have parents who can give us a living space until we save up for a house, and get a job directly into the C-Suite off the networking from that private university. It could totally happen! We don’t need any workers, everyone can be in the boardroom!

The entire article is more than mildly infuriating. They’re interviewing the well connected and winners of the economic lottery. Furthermore there’s no mention at all of what that period of depressed earnings does to long term financial gains. With bias like this I don’t even trust their numbers for things like adults reporting they’re doing okay. Another day, another bullshit piece of economic propaganda.

People have a real problem grasping the wealth of 500 Billion dollars. At the Median US household income it would take 12 years to make a million dollars; 1,200 years to make a hundred million dollars; 12,000 years to make a billion dollars; and 1.2 million years to make a 100 billion dollars.

His wealth is essentially limitless. It is that of a moderate sized country like Norway or Israel. When he can have an effect with 100 million dollars he could influence 5,000 elections with 500 billion dollars. And that’s not even talking about his investments in social media, PR cult of personality, and straight up vote buying in broad daylight.

I sincerely hope he and X end up banned from Europe, with a warrant out for his arrest in relation for doing this. Because America has proven unable to stop him. Another country might though if they come down hard on anyone accepting his money and as hard as they can on him without using their military.

shot an Arizonan which is the correct response.

Please don’t abuse Arizonans they already abuse themselves by attempting to live on the actual surface of the Sun.

Elon’s actually come out against EV subsidies. It seems counter intuitive until you realize he’s so detached from any one product that the power he’s derived from his wealth is more important now.

Okay but did you fall?

Break into the diamond company vaults and just take it. Bam, free diamonds.

Which the billionaires and corporations would love. Less taxes and they can easily play the smaller governments off against each other.

Yup. Turns out silent vehicles are massively useful in reconnaissance. Who could have known? (Every soldier ever)

Quick change system. Drop the battery and lever the new one into place. As long as your pit crew (who train as professional athletes) can get their bespoke engineered stuff into place as fast or faster than a gas refill you’re good to go.
