Let’s see.

1. Economic and strategic oil reserves are declining fast, with seemingly no effort to conserve oil. Thanks to the war with Iran.
2. The only reason the US is not in a recession yet is because of AI, which is not profitable, and destined to crash.
3. Other nations are slowly divesting from US treasuries, limiting the financial options.
4. Infrastructure has been rotting for decades, and it’s starting to break down.
5. Climate change has started to produce dangerous heat waves and other extreme weather, further straining infrastructure.

Anyway, that’s what I can think of from the top of my head.

Like what?

Zombies can magically disintegrate cars at any range, as long as they have line of sight. This means that fleeing from a Zombie in a car is foolish. However, this ability can be used against Zombies. By building your base in such a way that one needs to climb over a car, such as by using a car as a bridge over a moat, you have build a base which will trick 80% of Zombies into making it inaccessible. Any respectable horde is virtually guaranteed to have at least one Zombie who will fall for it.

Obviously, since 5% of Zombies are capable siege engineers, you can’t fully rely on any sort of static defense to keep a Zombie horde away.

When killing a Zombie, keep in mind that the plant animating them can jury rig most injuries. Hence, zombies should ideally be incinerated, but if that is unavailable covering them will prevent sunlight from hitting the plants, and thus the plant won’t be able to fix the Zombie to a point where it can move again. The Zombie plant is immune to all commercially available herbicides. Military herbicide HC73 is the most efficient. Care must be taken before deployment of HC73, as the herbicide will render land infertile for 2 to 5 decades.

Zombies are significantly impaired at night, as key parts of their metabolism rely on photosynthesis. Keep in mind that sunlight deprivation is insufficient to kill a Zombie, no matter how long it is deprived of sunlight.

You’d need self discipline to be Batman.

Black body radiation is a real, but it’s an extremely inefficient way to get rid of excess heat. So you’d need huge radiators to get enough surface area.

Add to this the fact that terrestrial data centers operate at a loss, and there’s no way to run a space based one profitably.

Plot out the sun, obviously.

And, presumably, if their town were actively shrinking, they’d also be upset.

Yes, but we need to be aware that it would get worse temporarily, and a lot of services we’re used to be being free would no longer be free. For example, Youtube would probably become a paid service.

There’s a theory that targeted ads are severely less effective than assumed amongst advertisers, and that traditional “spray and pray” advertisement is just as effective, but a whole lot cheaper. Essentially, targeted ads frequently target people who are already aware of the product, have already decided to buy it, or have already bought it. So, basically, company’s are overpaying for ads, and if they ever stop, the advertisement based internet is in trouble.

Israel 🇮🇱 will probably violate this clause and cause the war to continue.

Well, the less money people have, the more of their income they spend. This means that maximum spending would be achieved when all income is equally distributed. Hence, as money concentrates at the top, consumer spending drops, which reduces the number of viable businesses, but at the same makes more capital available, since people tend to invest money they don’t spend.

Since people in general aren’t that good at telling whether an idea will pan out or not, as capital starts concentrating at the top, dumb ideas are more likely to attract a ton of funding. Add to that that spectacular ideas attract more funding, while at the same time tending to be bad ideas.

Essentially, Elon Musk’s businesses are valued so highly because his promises of AGI and space colonization are already being priced in as if they were real, existing things, instead of pipe dreams.

Idea is that if you steal people’s money, other people won’t trust you with more money. Fair enough, but I don’t think this should apply anymore when your country starts an unprovoked war of aggression.

You can only seize the assets within your country. That means that the assets outside of Putin’s reach are still sizable.

I salute your sacrifice.

I’m wondering how they’re going to lose the midterms.

It didn’t, though. Idiots who think it’s going to print them money bought all the components and destroyed the market. AI itself had no agency in it.

Does he really look like this? Or was this picture just made to make him look soulless?

Okay, those laws of war run on “as long as you don’t do it, I won’t either”. America’s allies in the region also need water, what if Iran strikes at their reservoirs in retaliation? Trump may have escalated the war into terrifying new territory.
