He wasn't against gay rights, would probably be the best description. He specifically avoided the topic while campaigning in order to avoid his earlier controversy entrapping men from the Navy by sending men out to have sex with them. Not because he hated gays, he was just given a job, and wasn't against over doing it. Eleanor took a lesbian lover later on, and he hired a known gay man to serve in his cabinet. For the time, that's about as progressive as it gets. In modern times, Gore was to the left of Obama and Biden socially.
Pretty sure he was already a puppet, that was just the rimming of the ring.
EDIT: Speaking of which, does anyone know if Marina Gross is still actually alive? I get not wanting media attention etc, but she seems like a ghost for someone that translates for world leaders.
Normally that's true, but tech companies and investment firms that are completely controlled by billionaires, are holding stupid amounts of liquid assets right now. They literally can't find enough to buy, so it's just piling up in various liquid assets.
No dis on Stiglitz, but it really doesn't take a well educated economist to see reasons why Trumps policies will cause disaster. I mean for one thing, it's an intentional result. The more destruction he causes, the more he and his friends can buy up in the fire sale.
I mean look at the biggest billionaires in the US, they're all sitting on mountains of cash because they can't figure out what to buy. Destroying the economy, makes it a buyers market for billionaires. Problem solved as far as they're concerned.
The actual number is irrelevant, the change in number does Khamenei doesn't know how many nukes Israel or the US actual have. He'll make decisions based on what he does know. And a draw down tells him he can get away with more attacks.
I'm saying if your use case makes regex the best option, you've gone the wrong way and should turn back. There are definitely corners you can paint yourself into that make it the way to go, but you've ended up there through a series of bad ideas.
If you're needing that level of complexity in a text file search, you already fucked up by putting the data in a text file. There's a reason data file formats exist.
If we draw down, between the number of nukes we have now, and 0, there will be a global war. The actual number of nukes won't matter, humanity will be at risk of extinction.
The only ones at fault for where we are now are the GoP and Trump. They've destabilized the Middle East by supporting Israels settlements, taken every dime from Putin to do his bidding for decades, tore up Pacific treaties to stop Xi, while doing every thing they can to get Iran to give them a pretense to invade.
Japan survived two nukes and became one of the largest financial forces in the world. So how many could Russia survive? 10? 50? Maybe Putin like those odds. Maybe Iran decides it's worth it to clear out Israel. If there's only a few nukes involved, the crazy fucks start thinking they can win a nuclear war, or at least survive it well enough to be worth it.
Every step closer to disarmament bring us closer to nuclear war. Every nuke disarmed makes us one step closer to Putin or Xi thinking they can win a nuclear war.
