You're a central bank, you manage the economy giving out dollars.

Do you lend to people directly or do you think, "no, we should guarantee private individuals tremendous power and profit so that the financial system can collapse due to their mismanagement every couple decades"

When you say travel insurance, are you thinking of overseas medical expenses?

I cut my foot on some rocks in the US and that insurance claim paid for all the previous travel insurance I'd taken out previously.

Travel insurance is very much required travelling to many countries. Basically the same category as health insurance.

Insuring travel itself is a scam.

In fact, “There weren’t that many people involved and the economic repercussions were pretty minor,” Goldgar says. “I couldn’t find anybody that went bankrupt. If there had been really a wholesale destruction of the economy as the myth suggests, that would’ve been a much harder thing to face.”

Yes, it was the British Ambassador IIRC and the Australian prime minister caused a minor drama by reading out the cable like the next day.

Incidentally that Australian Labor Prime Minister was informing to the US for decades prior and led the US-proposed agreement between unions, corporates and the government which ended up collapsing the union movement and bringing in a wave of austerity a decade later.

The CIA also helped transfer weapons from Libya to Syria and, well that's where ISIS got their guns from.

The reduction in sun is an issue, but far worse are the -10 degree celsius temperature drops and the 50 percent less rain

But potatoes are life, so I could see it

The US is really only providing enough support to stall Russia and use up Ukrainian and Russian forces

The real question is the commitment of US allies that have already provided materiel support for Ukraine.

If it were WW3, the nukes would be flying and everyone in the northern hemisphere will be dead from famine in a year or two.

I believe State is keen on Ukraine (and maybe both), but the Pentagon is against the war in Ukraine because they want to shore up efforts to contain China.

Kissinger and other realists are no doubt bashing their heads against desks because the masterstroke of the US foreign policy in the 60s and 70s was to support the Sino-Soviet split and ensure that China and Russia don't ever find themselves with common goals.

Plus 11 dash line

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it.

Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least.

When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense.

Right? The US government kills people for no reason all the time and this guy thinks he'll be safe after giving them a reason

You, two posts up:

What about what about what about

At that size just run it off a ram 'drive'

If you're writing on paper, 10 August 2023 is superior.

Feeling real left out here

The most commonly used A-series light bulb type is an A60 bulb (or its inch-based equivalent, the A19 bulb, which is 60 mm (19⁄8 in or 2+3⁄8 in) wide at its widest point

A circumference of 7.4 inches is larger than most people can put in their mouth without teeth contact

"B-b-but it's a russian disinfo campaign 😭"

Please keep your :lib: whining and tears to whatever sad corner of the internet you reside
