They surprise is: they won't. This will weaken the West.

This is dangerously stupid.

This is bikeshedding. The point is an authoritative process and an identifier

All this does is help Putin and other rich grifters.

Vampire capitalism. They want civilization to break down so they can offer a solution for profit. The enemies of all people and life on the planet are a tiny group of oligarchs and their supplicants.

Violent resistance isn't a successful strategy at this point because the Axis of Evil has already won. The correct strategy is to take the moral high ground with nonviolent, peaceful, moral courage in forums other than where there are snipers. It will be risky but the same-old, same-old isn't working.

Violence doesn't win political credibility when you're extremely weak, and not in control of the media narrative to manufacture consent or justifications for aid and arms shipments.

Privatize the profits and socialize the costs. Just like shifting the burden, blame, and responsibility for multi-stream recycling onto individuals instead of having single-stream. While it might be utopian to recycle everything all the time, the burden and usefulness to be considered.

Such tokens announcements were made after Camp Fire by PG&E too.

Either have a Bill of Rights or a king. These are mutually exclusive.

Welcome to technofeudalism.

2K was so much better than XP. The UI rendering thread was decoupled in a way that XP's wasn't.

Hamas isn't an army, it's the political party voted into office to administer Gaza. The problem is a subset of it, the Al-Qassam Brigades, that conduct asymmetric warfare. If that were shutdown and violence were disavowed, that would give them political respect and would cease giving Palestinians a bad name that holds them back from the atrocities committed against them from being recognized.

That's a good book.

You're out of your mind if you think people will pay more in the long-term when there are or will be cheaper alternatives. Many countries in Africa are the next logical neocolonial maquiladora targets for cheap goods to feed the Global North.

Yep. US investment and manufacturing will cease entirely with instability.

Being bad for business, it's more likely now that the economic royalists will find a way to remove POTUS by impeachment and conviction for one of his many alleged crimes by turning COTUS against Dear Leader through economic and political pressure. The billionaire class has a much deeper bench and bigger war chest than the Musk-Trump duumvirate.

That's a subplot of the movie Shooting Fish. Selling AI computers that are really a human to scam investors.

Words to know:

Anocracy - Imitation democracy

Kakistocracy - Least fit rulers

Kleptocracy - Thieving rulers

Kratocracy - Government by the strong

Neocracy - Government by amateurs

Ochlocracy - Mob rule

Plutocracy - Rule by the rich, subset of oligarchy

Rich old people can't be expected to know anything about anything.

Being down costs money and wastes time. Find ways to have zero downtime migrations.

B&H is also a physical store that is also closed at that time too.

Unsurprising from a qualitative, anecdotal perspective: heavy delta 9 THC users seem to develop "tweaker" psychological and personality changes. Just a little seems to result in chiller people. Moderation in all things except moderation. is often a fail-safe strategy.

A related issue is pervasive discounting of personal safety with a pattern of unsafe strategies like taking drugs of unknown quality and unknown strength, and smoking burning substances without filtration under the "it's natural" fallacy.

Protests need to be 3x bigger because the revolution isn't being televised. 5M people and the corporate-owned media carries water for the establishment by downplaying them as "thousands".

Surprised DOGE hasn't fire-bombed the Library of Congress and triumphantly boasted about how much money was saved.

Meat agriculture, as practiced in most of the world on an industrial basis with insufficient regulation, leads to pandemics, evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, climate change, and air, water, and soil pollution.

No need to "think". These policies are all magnifying stagflation. Recession if not depression. There won't be anything to buy because America doesn't have much of a manufacturing supply chain, isn't willing to pay workers enough, and prices are rocketing to the moon such that Americans won't buy domestic or imported goods. Domestic producers, having less international competition, will raise prices leading to a massive similar price-profit contributing 60% of inflation post-pandemic in the K-shaped recovery. The soonest manufacturing could be setup in America is 3 years, but this is work American corporations don't want to pay workers fair wages for.

That's a vague and unconvincing chicken little argument for not making models using the wealth of open and for-purchase data that's available and understanding the limitations.

There's an American monetary economist living in Poland who does a good job of explaining things. "Econ Lessons" on YT.

This is the dilemma of spoiled rich kids who got too big for their breeches.

This. The problem with looking at trade deficits is that they are comparative trade phallus envy that somehow "demand" regulatory "action" when others don't buy enough of our stuff. How dare them! These deeply-unpopular actions alienating allies certainly won't motivate them to purchase more but than can and will convince them to purchase a lot less. Losing customers abroad who don't want American stuff and losing customers at home who can't buy stuff from elsewhere or stuff from home since prices shot up and they were laid off. Nothing good will come of any of this because the leader is, no doubt, using breaking things for personal gain and to weasel their way into staying in power indefinitely by creating protests and/or war to justify it.

"Poor" is relative, and maybe conflating relative functionality of services on one axis with economic inequality on another.
