Nah, just go trans and you're back in the game.

Edit: People down voting like they wouldn't put on a dress to get with Chloe are lying to themselves.

Ukraine is proving it's effective. And easier to transport. Just think what could be done with US manufacturing behind it.

Tanks are the modern version of land battleships. Just not a practical thing.

Oh you know everyone's suffering? Just you alone knows the plight of the common man?

I'm saying the polling opinion of the economy doesn't mean shit outside of political campaigns. They're more tied to party affiliation than anything to do with reality. It's no better than the youtube polls telling me 90% of people are voting for Harris.

The Doctor doesn't call himself a pacifist, he just detests violence. If needed though, he will absolutely blow your shit up.

The other quote to go with that one was "Good men don't need rules, you're about to find out why I have so many."

I'm waiting a month to see how public reception goes. Give the public a chance to marinate their response before I try it out.

Your post is a prime example of why people think the economy has problems. It's entirely psychological and propaganda driven. The whining has gotten so loud, that everyone thinks it's reality.

I still like the Doctor Who take on it. "Demons run when a good man goes to war."

Was the KGB agent Putin by any chance?

Misinformation campaigns are modern warfare. Killing your opponents from the inside is far more cost effective.

You're right there is a list, and they don't agree who should be in charge. Which means the internal problems would be a lot more important than the external war. Especially if there is a risk one of them might take western help to get in charge.

By the time they're ready to think about Ukraine again, there would be half of NATO sitting there waiting for them.

If we put a bullet in Putin, there would be no more war. That tells me we're not at war with Russia. We're at war with Putin.

Set executive pay to a multiple of median non managerial pay, with bonuses for the median out pacing inflation. With a quarter size bonus for profit increases.

Make it federal law for all publicly traded companies, and also require labor representation on the board of all publicly traded companies.

Just don't say any of that before an election, because you'll end up with less media coverage than Vermin Supreme.

We could combine the Dakota's, Montana and Idaho and almost have 1 state worth of population.

Red states have always been low population states. Over time every state grows, but the big states were already big. The smaller states have more room to grow, big pop states are more expensive because of the population so grow less.

It's not some conspiracy, it's just math. Now the Senate is another thing. There shouldn't be two Dakota's for one thing, and New Mexico didn't have the population to join either.

Was it really a bunch of bored nerds, or did a PR agent make an anonymous post to start the rumor mill?

It's two different problems. UBI helps with poverty, and a lot of other social spending. Give everyone enough money for rent and tomorrow the price of rent is higher than what you're giving them. Housing is supply restricted, increasing the demand only makes it worse. What we need is a serious building spree.

The Pizzagate conspiracy was created to cover up any media coverage of the police reports from the early 90s when Trump was hanging with Epstein and dumping 'used' underage girls at a pizza parlor the next morning.

Under current legal interpretation absolutely not. Which is the problem that's being looked at. It's not legislation, it's based on supreme court rulings, that could easily be overruled by congress. It's going to be a very long debate before that happens sadly. Which is good on the side that setting a new anti-trust standard will absolutely rock the economy, so a snap decision isn't in anyone's interest. But at the same time, as we've seen from the pandemic inflation, without competition in the market, price gouging is getting out of hand. Market steering and manipulation by individual corporations is also getting out of hand, it just doesn't generate the same level of public outrage.

The other side of it is that there is starting to be support for actually using the anti-trust laws that are on the books. Right now it's mostly focused on Google and other tech companies, but there's a huge problem in US markets with corporate consolidation.
