But now you're faced with some very tough decisions.

Where?

In your pants?

Or in the toilet?

Behind a tree?

The dumpster behind Wendys?

So many options...
In a sock. The Innoruuk raid on EverQuest requires a very steady healchain.

Who attacked you?

Yawn. Calling people elitist, comrade and socialist are certainly attacks.

You going to call for civility now? 🙄

I'm copying this again because no-one's talking about it, or has done the simple math. 581 is MORE than all the other numbers listed COMBINED.

The crazy part is most of the people on that list are our allies.

The even crazier part is we just lost another war.

Eisenhower warned us about the industry of the military.....

Congratulations. You aced your progressive elitist debate class. You hit all of the main concepts:

Make every counterpoint binary, i.e. workers don't need child care or an education. I never said they didn't. I want them to pay for it like the rest of us do, not create a Green New Deal massive social justice program to pay for it.
Insult your intelligence.
Accuse you of making up facts.
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
Insult you personally.

Nice job.

One thing you said I'll agree with. We are in a demographic collapse (I'd call it a long term slowdown) and a labor shortage that's not totally related to the pandemic. We disagree on how to address it. You want massive social programs, I prefer a thriving economy.

Bruh, you never answered my question. :(

I wouldn't say we lost. It's just that the CIA realized they got all the dough from trafficking heroin they could. So there was not much left to do in Afg.

Correct. And we gift wrapped it for China.

Meh. I doubt China has much use for Afg. Big plus for them there's no noticeable US military presence there now, but that's about it.
It’s a precious metal goldmine for EV tech that we suspiciously left untouched

The problems are so many and immense that at this point I wouldn't know where to start to discuss it. The only thing I'll say is that 180 billion $ is a drop in the bucket compared to what's needed. And the what's needed won't be attempted because of our politicians. Each party wants what they want and nothing will get done.

If $180 billion a year is a drop in the bucket, then $26 billion a year for preschool, day care, and things that matter to families is nothing.

Everyone's worried about China. It's unfounded. China is headed for one of the most spectacular collapses of a government in human history and we don't need to do a damn thing.

Let's do the math.

Decades of 1 child policy, 55 yo retirement age, rising wages, jobs being sent to Vietnam, anti-intellectual policies, and extremely limited immigration.

They are headed for unavoidable demographic collapse and it's 100% of their own making.

Stop worrying about China, they're fucked.
