That’s always been the play.

Do heinous thing.

Say heinous thing is policy

Make sure policy never changes.

MFW, Chicago pizza prices are higher than Germany and people are saying Europe has the most expensive pizzas, while other Americans are paying less than $10 for a pie.

Oil is mainly from plants that dyed million of years before dinosaurs even existed, before the bacteria and fungus that break down plants and wood evolved.

That’s why it’s a finite resource. You need all of that organic matter, unbroken by chemical digestion, to be heated and crushed for millions of years.

No, but your government probably does.

Or is this too abstract a concept to extrapolate.

Earth will become uninhabitable way before the sun explodes.

Last estimate I read was like 500 million years before the sun gets hot enough to start negatively effecting the water cycle, and then it just gets dryer and more inhospitable from there.

Of course, we’re artificially making things hotter way faster than that, so probably a few hundred years before large mammals have a hard time maintaining homeostasis due to the temperature.

Maybe we’ll get dinosaurs 2.0 and they’ll have enough time to get smart enough to realize we used all of the cheap energy and doomed them to die on a hot, barren rock.

Fantastic, because we all know facial ID has no problems identifying non-white people.

I can see it now: Idris Elba getting picked up by the feds because O’Hare fired this thing up and recorded 700 Idris Elba’s All boarding different flights using different names.

I mean, you never owned your passport, ever.

If you look at the very first page, it says “ property of the US government” and then there’s some blurb about tampering being a felony.

Same thing for a diver’s license. You don’t own it, your state does.

I do agree that moving to digital identification is a huge mistake. It’s too easy to lose access to a digital device or account. Or have it spoofed in some way. I’d much rather have a physical ID that won’t run out of battery or have a glitch that makes accessing it impossible for an unknown length of time.

Ah yes, people love it when another person has such a weak constitution that they can’t handle the smell of incredibly common drinks

I’d rather be assumed attractive than to remove all doubt.

Go hangout at a Starbucks in a target if you want to meet women, they’re certainly not going to wander into your bedroom.

Knowing conservative governance, they’ll offer government subsidized plane tickets to anyone who tests positive, because shipping them out means the US numbers will be lower.

As a married man, I gotta say you’re probably selling yourself short or have unrealistic expectations of a partner.

Remember that whoever you’re going to date is a person, not a robot. People are not quantifiable. One day they may be a dick, the next they may be pleasant. Some people are willing to compromise and others aren’t. Man, woman, or other, it doesn’t matter. If you’re not willing to compromise something, you’re never going to find someone.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was in New York on some legitimate business, they caught him on camera at a Starbucks near the murder, blasted his image all over the news and social media, and just waited for someone to call.

Then when they got the call, they grabbed a backpack with “evidence” and claimed he had it on him when they arrested him.

Did anyone believe that he was wondering around for 3 days with a bag that was holding the murder weapon, fake IDs, and a hand written manifesto? He ditched another bag, and escaped on an e-bike. Why would he then run around for three days with the rest of the evidence.

Sadly, there would be no reaction mass.

All that would happen is the lcd panel would boil and crack, and the processor would overheat soon after because nothing is carrying away the heat.

No one was jamming the Russian space shuttle, or shooting missiles at it.

It’s one thing to have an autonomous landing program on an aircraft, it’s another thing entirely to have a program that can react to surface to air missiles, enemy jamming, and over the horizon air to air missiles.

Elon musk is an idiot if he thinks a drone can replace all of the capabilities of even an F22, let alone the F35, which is a multi-role aircraft capable of handling all of the above and more. The F35 can jam, do reconnaissance, network with friendly fighters to fire over the horizon missiles, and drop bombs that weigh 1000 times what a drone can carry. Was it a good use of tax dollars considering the budget overruns? Probably not. But can it be replaced by drone swarms? Hell no. The F35 is an unmatched weapons platform, that’s why nato countries have been buying them.

What bothers me admit space X, was they awarded a 3 billion dollar contract for Starship. They were awarded this by Kathy Lueders, and interim director at NASA, who reached out to only SpaceX and told them to drop their bid to get the contract. She, as an interim director, single handedly and I’d argue fraudulently awarded over 3 billion dollars to SpaceX. She then went on to retire from NASA six months later to take a job as manager of the SpaceX facility at Boca Chica.

Fraud and lies means we’re probably not going back to the moon. Just like how Tesla got so popular because they deceive investors with unachievable ranges on electric cars and the promise of full self driving cars.

Buying a second house for your estranged wife is very normal. I’ve got tons of very real, normal human friends that buy their wives second houses because divorce would cost more than a second house.

The person is very human, yes.

I figured it would be pretty instant as soon as he mentioned tariffs.

Your average Joe may not know much about how tariffs work, but the finance people that do most of wall street trading, and the big corporations that rely on international trade certainly know how they work.

Trump basically promised to halve the market for most products in the US. Sure, some businesses may see this as an opportunity to increase prices above the tariff costs to squeeze even more profits, but any large company that operates on volume, like Walmart, should be shitting bricks right now. If half the people shopping at Walmart right now won’t be able to afford the products next year, the company is going to have to massively downsize or risk financial ruin. They already operate on narrow profit margins per item. If they sell less of imported goods, their revenue will drop through the floor.

I’ve just accepted that no matter how much I try to save, or what kind of job I get, the economy will explode every ten years and I’ll get shafted.

Who needs to retire anyway.

You think a billionaire that spends most of his “very busy” schedule tweeting nonsense cares to read the news?

There’s probably a dedicated intern that gives him daily briefings while Musk scrolls twitter for a new Nazi to retweet. The intern knows better than to upset the Muskrat, and keeps news about Tesla issues to a minimum.

Starship is not feasible for anything but space tourism, maybe, if it doesn’t blow up or crash every other launch.

It currently barely has the energy to reach orbital speeds while completely empty. How is it going to achieve orbit with the supposed 100 tons of cargo on board, or even the more realistic 50 ton payload.

The Government Accountability Office, the pre-existing competitor to the Efficiency Office Musk wants to run, put out a report over a year ago that the main engines of the starship do not meet the energy requirements for the Artemis mission that SpaceX has already been payed for. Those engines are already run so over throttled that they routinely melt themselves, that’s the green fire you see whenever one of the boosters or Ship itself relights its engines for landing.

SpaceX does not have the technology to make starship work as designed, if they did, they could have retrofitted the Falcon rockets to have reusable second stages like was originally planned. Instead they went straight for the big scam of a reusable moon rocket, because why tell a small lie when you can tell big one and have someone fraudulently award you a 3 billion dollar contract to make it.
