In reality you should put free phones everywhere in prison. It’s literally the cheapest way of keeping somebody occupied.

The US got left behind the global CAR race in the 1980s, when the Japanese and Koreans started to produce cheap fuel efficient cars.

This will not cause inflation at all. /s

Western Canada has always talked of separation, it’s a nothing burger.

Since at least the late 80s record labels sucked, not the streaming services suck. Time to just get rid of copyright on music and audio recordings.

How much do you know about Francis II, that last Holy Roman Emperor? A few people read about him, but he’s not that common of a name.

I think the opposite with happen with the same results. Everyone’s DNA will be on the books. It’ll be revealed that we’re all related somehow. You’ll be able to orient the database any way that you want to see how you’re related.

I barely think Trump will be remembered. In 600 years we’ll have a completely different economic/political system. I can’t image our quaint ideas of ‘nations’ lasting much longer. This economic/political system was a flash in the pan from just after the Napoleonic wars till about now. I’m not sure what will come soon, but we’ve been stuck with an antiquated system now for over 70years.

I wonder when the first one will happen?

I’ll watch one video of someone I like. Randomly another video starts playing right after, before I have a chance to click away, my feed degenerates into some crazy slop.

It’s getting bad. Almost unwatchable now. Google is screwed.

LOL Trump will send them home in the third week of September, just long enough that they miss the beginning of the college year.

I’m sure with the start of the school year, they are so excited to be activated, and have all their tuition money wasted.

We’re fucked.

we’d intervene

That’s the problem, we won’t. There is too much now that needs to be done, and your neighbors don’t care. Try telling your neighbor not to use a dirty 2-stroke gas lawnmower, or weed killer on a residential law, they’ll hate you, won’t understand what you’re talking about, and think that you are stupid. Everything then becomes a state intervention with police, courts, laws, jails.

This is like the slowest moving chess match ever played. It’s obvious what everyone’s moves are going to be. When the U.S.A. starts threatening 30%, 40%, 100%, 200% tariffs, other countries respond. There are no surprise genius moves here.

We heard the same about Japan.
Soon we’ll be hearing about how Nigeria is spending oil money and growing its manufacturing.
Wait till the U.S. finds out about Brazil and its ability to manufacturer.
When the war is over between Ukraine and Russia, you’ll have two more countries restarting non-military production.
South Africa is picking up everyday.
If Europe ever manages to dig a tunnel between Spain and Morocco the Iberian peninsula and N.Africa would transform.

Interesting. When they show up from rural W. Virginia to Washington D.C., it might be a culture shock, and some might not want to go back.

Nationalize it.

If every time you went home, and had to step over a half naked homeless guy holding a half broken glass bottle, sleeping on your porch, your mental health would go into the toilet. That’s how people feel riding the subway everyday.
