That’s the thing that a lot of people keep misunderstanding. If the President of the US wants a person back from what I am going to describe as “A lesser country,” only for this exact moment, and not for any other case at all, he can get that person back. Send a battle group over, and ask politely.
El Salvador does not have the ability to keep him, if we want him back.
If they die messily, how long will it be before the next courageous instinct shows up?
I like huge anime titties more than this guy, but I have the decency not to advertise the fact to my neighbors.
I don’t know the meaning, either. Temba, his arms wide?
I can’t imagine anyone sane wanting this. There are some innovations that I can see people wanting to roll back, but not this one.
Unless you own a coal mine, or are owned by someone who owns a coal mine, this is stupidity from any angle.
Agreed. With the added bonus that we have too live in the system while we burn it down. I’m not a huge fan of the idea, but then, I’m a maintainer by nature.
I have nifty tech, yes, but I also have vaccination deniers, Nazis, and my fourth “once in a lifetime” economic crises. I’m never going to buy a house. I’m never going to retire. I’ll probably never even pay off my student loans.
I personally think that, largely speaking, if imports are cheaper than local production, that’s a good thing!
I’m hardly an economist, right? But I agree with you, broadly speaking. But first covid, and now Trump round two is showing is the weakness of global integration. As long as everything goes smoothly, it’s jam for everyone. But let something screw up the logistics, or someone duck up the balance of trade, and everything can go to shit really fast. There are lots of things we can’t make here, but we rely on them. That is less than ideal.
I don’t know that tariffs are the way to address that issue, or even if it needs to be addressed at all. O do know that the way Trump is doing it is all wrong.
And now they are gonna get away with this, too.
I’d go with “deshittification,” myself. It’s not important how or why they are shit, just that they are, and the laws in question prevent us from fixing it.
Naturally.
More fun was the question of who was the better cook.
The airport tried that shit on me today. I was able to make it print me a boarding pass, though.
I’m becoming a luddite in my middle age.
I think that’s a feature, not a bug.
I don’t see a problem with any of this.
I seem to recall there was a poll on Reddit last year asking which captain had the best hair. I believe Picard got second place.
I’m old enough to remember them promising, repeatedly, that the nude scanners didn’t, couldn’t save images.
Joke’s on them though. They can’t delete my pictures fast enough to avoid the trauma.
If there was a viable non-genocide candidate, o wolf have voted for him.
Most of us are not getting richer, nor working shorter hours, nor living better than our parents. We’re past “services” and on into “parasites.”
In principal, tariffs can prop up domestic industry that is having trouble competing with cheaper imported products. In practice, this winds up being really complicated, because the world is a lot more interdependent than it was 80 years ago.
Fascists mostly start by winning legitimate elections. Defeating fascism with votes would just look like Clinton winning the election instead of Trump.
You might as well say that you can’t recall a single time when having a visible security presence stopped a robbery.
