I see how i could have been more explicit. Iran is evidence that the USA can’t defend Taiwan in a drawn out war if China decided to invade

They already have the capability, Iran is proof of that. The 2027 number is simply to justify the next military budget, which at this point has little influence on the future of Taiwan.

If China wanted to invade they could do it already and there would be fuck all the states could do about it. Iran is the writing on the wall.

All of the good decisions?

GOP: fuck them kids, and sometimes literally

Ehh, Tesla was building those things before Musk took over. It’s like the Nazis and the autobahn, these people are taking credit for previous good decisions when they take over.

Or you can start a land war in asia. Talked to a 44 year old on the train who’s basically living at a shelter. He would join the army if they would take him…

If a software project is built better but no one else ever bothers to maintain it, can it even be said to be better?

Well we all don’t have a government pursuing renewable that makes power costs predictably drop over time. Efficiency matters when I’m looking at my power bill thay went up because of a near by data center being built

Good news, we won’t have to feed them with tax dollars. Bad news is the people building data centers that are part of a kill chain are now feeding the soldiers

Stable for who though? Stability has not been my lived experience in the states.

“Engaged and organized” comes after delivering a compelling vision. I’ve listened to Platner and he’s a better communicator than any corporate dem because his message to the working class is practically gospel

AOC plays ball with the DNC though. But yeah, they treat her like shit because she’s not corporate backed.

My bet is these companies are doing layoffs but calling it AI

More like the opposite: paying telcos to stop rolling out broadband and promise to roll out copper instead

You’re right. His role as the rapper Mr Cardamom dwarfs any role as "just’ the mayor of a city.

Should have set the effort level to “high”

I’d like to think I taught my child to lie better

That’s iike living in a house that is falling apart and saying if I just let it fall apart completely then I won’t need to fix the house

Bold to assume that ushering in God’s judgement isn’t their goal.
