Just like Putin he wants to expand. Doesn’t matter who or how. Venezuela, Canada, Cuba, Greenland, Iran. He just wants to be remembered as the person who expanded the US. And the scary thing is, he has resources to do it, but luckily not the competence.
More annoying is the lack of pushback.
Isn’t this most horror movies? “Oh I’m going off alone”, “let’s check this really dark and creepy area”, “let’s go find the source of that errie noise!” As that all drop one by one.
Itemizing stopped being beneficial for me when they capped the mortgage interest deduction at $10K.
So just plain fraud
You just miss w4m
It’s that way for primaries. Technically, in the US, political parties are private organizations. As such they can set up rules how they want within certain confines. One of the big ones is the fact that the democrats don’t even have to listen to their base’s vote and instead rely on a separate committee to select their candidate. This caused issues for Bernie Sanders and should have been a wake up call for people.
Now that being said, you’re welcome to try to get on the ballot in the general election as an independent or another party but Americans are so myopic they only see D or R which is a whole different problem.
And until we can tear down and rebuild the world, that’s not going to be possible for a large swath of people. Think about places that don’t have good mass transit infrastructure and probably won’t. This gives those people access.
Self-driving cars can give an amazing level of autonomy and independence to people like never before. Think about elderly and disabled people who normally would have to rely on others to get around having the ability to do so on their own terms.
Also think about freedom of time you would get back. Stuck in a traffic jam? Watch a movie, read a book, get some road head. Everyone suddenly has their own personal drivers.
Accidents would decrease too (Waymo has published a peer reviewed paper showing that it’s almost 12x safer than people). No having to worry about drunk or tired drivers.
Most people don’t care about driving, they just want a way to get from point A to B, and self-driving enables all of that.
Those wars were gonna happen sooner or later
And you don’t believe this one will? Israel is attempting to push further in Jordan, China is just biding its time until the US is stretched thin and then is going for Taiwan. Russia is still fucking up in Ukraine.
By themselves, they can all just be considered local skirmishes, but at the point they intersect (such as China invading Taiwan) then it will most likely spiral and escalate.
But ultimately, what do we know. We’re both just armchair pundits with different opinions. Without a look into the inner machinations of global powers, it’s all just guessing.
It really depends on how far it spreads. Remember that WW1 ans WW2 didn’t have all countries jumping in at the same time, and for a while people thought those were also isolated until it grew.
Problem is now, people want immediate definitions and are just waiting for the shoe to drop to say “see, we were right!” Could this be the start? Possibly. Could it just be another isolated skirmish? Also possibly. Time is the only true constant here.
I understand what they’re getting at but I always find the phrase “more than any other” to be funny as something will always be the most (even if it’s a tie).
I’m sorry, but I’d have to simultaneously laugh and admire the fact that someone took that much time out of their day to analyze what I said and produce a paragraph like that. You’re literally living rent free in their head. Take that as a win and keep on trucking forward. Fuck the haters.
Riiight. And what makes you trust Googles word so fervently?
“We’re trying to weight the gravity of the situation against money, and money is still winning”
Gee, what song from the 60s mentioned that exact thing….
True but my point was the fact that the military sometimes hits stormtrooper levels of accuracy and has for a long time.
You sure about that? There’s a reason for the joke “do you know the difference between an elementary and an enemies base? I don’t, I just fly the drone”. That one is at least ten years old.
Native…. American…. What could that mean, native… native to what?
Curious what are the telltale signs for this one as I am having trouble identifying thst.
You willing to take a 25% pay cut? Yeah that’s hella far. Especially when you’re up in the GHz range.
