Modular military engineering materials are both obscenely expensive, and temporary. They are meant as a bandaid to quickly solve transportation problems to enable logistics.
Also, being modular, they can be replaced easily and quickly.
If you want a hardy lifetime dock, you're going to need months to years under ideal circumstances. And then Isreal could "accidentally" blow it up with a "rogue" strike, and there would be no option but to scrap the whole thing. Because most permanent docks aren't meant to handle military strikes.
But yeah, let's just ignore that the building constraints around this are just about the worst case imaginable. Let's just keep whining about how a solution isn't perfect and therefore worthless like all the other Leftist comments on Lemmy
I'm not an expert on the origins of police in the US, but I thought their origin story was basically to oppress the civilian population to protect corporate property.
Like, their entire purpose and why they were given authority was so that they could beat down civilians in the name of corporate profits. Which is the opposite of what you're claiming.
Oooo. Please get caught handling a gun in NY for some stupid photoshoot, so we can see the GOP being hypocrits yet again by covering for Trump while waving pitchforks at Hunters firearm trial.
Nor are they even remotely reliable to gauge things in the short term.
The methodology of collecting this data can be so heavily bias that the pollers can get whatever result they're looking for, if they're pursuing a narrative. I could write a poll that leads the poll takers to just about any desired conclusion by choosing very targeted questions with bad faith multiple choice options, and by conducting the polls targeting specific demographics. It's a trivial thing to do.
Instead, you have to deep dive into the polling methodology, have a deep understanding of the quality of the poll operators, etc, to have any idea of if the poll was even trustworthy.
I, for one, dismiss polls entirely. There is too much disinformation, too many bad actors, whose entire goal is to "prove" their own biases in favor of their narrative, that the amount of shit buries the truth. So it seems a pointless exercise to sift through the shit to find the nuggets of truth, particularly when good faith polling isn't at all reliable in the first place.
More, when in cases like this, the Chinese government is subsidizing the car's manufacturing. Even without the tariffs, they aren't playing on a level playing field. And guess what happens after they corner the EV market as planned?
It's not hard to comprehend. The strategy is simple. Makes you wonder about the motives behind those crying "free market"
If you're looking for an actual war, maybe it was a bad idea to fuck over a lot of military officers with your pointless grandstanding. I doubt they have forgotten that their promotions were held hostage to your theatrics.
And his nutters have already stated they want to find and physically harm the jurors. So honestly, Trump should be gagged from talking about the jurors indefinitely.
And yet, there are so many counter examples to pull from. Like, the basis of most regulations start with companies, who had been left to their own devices, completely screwing their customers, workers, and the environment.
But sure. It would work this time if we take off the guardrails.
I used to develop smart TV apps, and Tizen / Orsay (older SS TV OS) we an absolute nightmare to develop for. LG's Web OS, and Android TV were so easy in comparison.
And how exactly will that put food in the hands of the starving Palestinians?
Again with the "if it's not perfect, it's not worth doing" bullshit I'm so tired of hearing about this conflict.
