Idk, I think living to 75 and being so insanely rich means that those 75 years are so full of events that it equates to like 200 years living in a third world country. If that makes sense, anyway. Doesn't seem like living to be over 50 and insanely rich is anything other than a victory lap.
I'm required to keep a 100 ft perimeter of defensible space around my house, so I do need to clear quite a bit. I try to leave as much otherwise, recently (5 ish years) I had considerable sprouting of volunteer oaks. Probably 15 or so across my property, not sure if that's indicative of the land being healthier but we get a decent amount of wild mushrooms as well.
There's not a snowballs chance in hell these people will be recognized as legitimate citizens if they take this deal, they will have fewer rights and what rights they do have will be entirely contingent on their continued marriage. Mark my words, there is no way this deal comes out the other end with it benefiting the immigrant beyond getting to stay in the country.
Trump has been alive for quite a while, seems like his playbook is well documented. Lie, lie, lie about your lies, forget your lies, lie to cover up your lies, never ever ever ever ever ever - under any circumstance - tell the truth if it makes you look bad.
Doesn't seem that hard to copy for someone with money and connections to Russia.
Well, we can steelman that subcommentary by pointing to blue collar workers in physically rigorous fields. Many blue collar workers are men, do not ask for help despite needing it, and take on jobs that will literally break them. Will they get it done? Maybe, but they sure ain't no pussy askin' fer help like a lil' bitch.
See what I mean? Seems like if you've got 5 people, one of them is a bad manager let's say; you still have 4 people to work on the job. It is, even with the dead weight manager, still more efficient than subtracting the manager + 3 other people. Unless those 3 are also dead weight, however if you somehow gathered that from the comic... kinda seems like projection.
Idk, seems pretty dumb to try and attempt most things solo - but muh rugged individualism, amirite?
Kamala was an unpopular candidate attached to an unpopular presidency. Sure, the race and gender aspect was must definitely used to manipulate MAGA - but that doesn't matter. Whoever Biden chose as VP that would end up running for president would be demonized in one way or another by Russian, Chinese, and U.S. propaganda. They would have lost as well.
Because even if they don't get paid they can still say 'I worked for Donald Trump, this is why you should hire me' to any MAGAt in the country and get a job.
What I'm saying is that the military exists. It is a, by your definition, primitive thing - despite being incredibly advanced and well equipped. If they're technologically advanced cavemen - what do you think those well equipped cavemen will do?
We could be polishing equipment on Europa, today if every human being on Earth worked together without looking down on one another. Or not even necessarily looking down on, resenting each other - for one reason or another. But we do. You probably resent every member of MAGA for their decisions, and rightfully so - but in doing so you'd be perpetuating the very problem you're passionate about solving. Even with justification, which you absolutely have. I resent them too - I need you to understand this.
If they're acting like it somehow un-stinks their shit, ok fuck off.
However, there are certain foods that everyone loves that I simply cannot stand. Cake, is a big one. I will actively seek against eating cake. It frequently leaves me feeling gross, especially on an empty stomach. I do not see it as good. I can understand someone speaking about food like that.
Something tells me a war here would go very differently. Who knows, maybe you're right - I've got a sneaking suspicion that the most well armed civvies won't be fighting against the govt though. If you get my meaning.
I don't disagree - by your example, however ; militaries are inherently primitive. How does a primitive action from a primitive system add up as anything other than causality in action?
Why would China do anything that helps us pick ourselves up and onto our feet? This is the goal they and Russia have been working towards for decades.
