The police know it is a machine gun, the police know that many bullets can be fired in a very short period of time. They know the bullets kill. Ban guns. If you want to hunt, use a bow, or don't hunt.

1 extra year will help to see how the batteries actual perform. After 10 years a Tesla's battery is under 80% of its original capacity, you're at the point of losing 1/4, 25%, of range. Not sure how many fail completely.

...and you've been recruited into the Crusades. God speed holly warrior, may you strike the infidels down.

I remember when corner stores rented DVDs, this could be another business for them. But...since they haven't adopted it I guess it really isn't that profitable. Power tool prices have come down in price and size.

Many neo-nazis used the BBS system to find each other. The funding model of direct email and such, that is used today, could probably be traced back to the early 1990s BBS forums. Scummy people have a way of finding each other.

allowed the village idiots to find each other and band together,,,

You can exploit them more if they are a mob.

youtube

Youtube is horrible in some respects for creating a false reality. Click on one video and down a rabbit hole you go, your stream gets filled very quickly of similar videos, but sketcher in content.

I don't think that the Saudi prince or Chinese operative really care how the stock does. The problem is do you think you can short the Middle or China, or do you think that'll they'll keep dumping money in...since it's pennies to them and they earn favor with potentially the next POTUS.

It's like the 80s all over again; Neo-Nazi's, bad adult VHS movies, drug epidemic, Trump.

Makes the Stock Market look like a scam to every normal person. Hurts the idea of ever investing or trusting any institution that is involved in investing. So yes a massive investigation of everything about this is warranted. It should be done by Congress, and Federal investigators.

"firms cannot change the contracts of older employees and cannot freely add higher-ranked positions to their organizations. In this model, a larger supply of older workers and declining economic growth restrict younger workers’ access to higher-paying roles and widen the age pay gap in favor of older workers." https://www.nber.org/papers/w32340

LOL, do you really think anything will happen to them.

To add to this, Truth Social is mainly political, it's not a space companies find interesting to advertise. Women purchase things for the house so they control the purse strings of a household, the next major purchases are teens. These are the realms of TikTok and Youtube shorts. Older demographics don't buy much, are stuck in their habits.

Interest rates were raised to kick people in the teeth, the Federal reserve says that it needs to keep kicking people in the teeth for a few more months.

Economists are saying that people are not being kicked in the teeth.

Logicians everywhere are banging their heads on their desks, as people are both being kicked in the teeth, and not kicked in the teeth.

Ironically, any negative consequences of their actions they'll deny. It's human nature. Whatever fiction they invent, as a justification, will simply benefit fascists, as lies always do. There are still NAZIs in Germany. Sadly it takes economic stability for the left and progressives to be able to fight back, and there isn't mush of that in the world.

At the same time 'Suicide is on the rise for young Americans, with no clear answers' https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68782177

We really need to juxtapose headlines more.

This misses an important point. Cities like Chicago and Miami compete globally, against places like Berlin and Sao Paulo. Smaller regional centers, like Oklahoma city, and Des Moines are ruled by their own elite and are not concerned by international affairs.

The wealthy in smaller regional centers don't have the ear of the Federal government, but they do employ most people in the local area, so locals are tied to their success. Locals also rely on them for donations to local hospitals, charities, and sporting clubs.

1910 machinery starts to transform farming, killing small subsistence farms.

1920 factories in large towns start draw labor of off small subsistence farms

1930 cheap cars make it easier to travel great distances, small towns start to decline

1930-50s telephones, refrigerators, radios and TVs allow people to live even greater distances apart

1970s new pesticides allow for an even greater mega-farms, and fewer family farmers

1980s Free trade kills off most industrial jobs in small towns

1990s collapse of USSR means rush of cheap engineering labor, depreciates well paying technical jobs

2000s reinvestment into oil fracking and other oil extraction methods causes dutch-disease (taxes come from oil, so little interest in industry)

2010s spike in cheap synthetic drugs rolls through rural America

Cars destroyed rural America. Take a Youtuber like Hoovie's Garage, he buys a large farm in the middle of nowhere to store cars, drives regularly a 100miles a day. You can't have compact European style towns, in such a reality. The factory closed, people drive 60 to a 100 miles a day, that means that the town is flattened and gone. Add to that oil disease in places like Kansas, Texas and W. Virginia; the government doesn't need to have sound businesses as a tax base to fund itself, just oil money.
