Murder by bureaucracy. Let’s call it what it is.

Maybe China should just block all exports and imports to/from the US. Surely, no one really needs the prescriptions that they manufacture for us. I bet it would not take long for Donald to cave. They could probably extract some concessions from him.

Maybe we should deport a certain orange felon.

A special kind of genius that can bankrupt a casino multiple times. How do you fuck up a license to print money?

You sound like you would enjoy the book, The Limits to Growth and its progress checking updates. The models suggest we’re in for a very bad time by 2040. The runup seems to have already begun. The neat thing is that the book doesn’t even include climate related catastrophe. They’re just bonus add on.

More like retailers won’t eat any of it and will take the opportunity to raise prices even more because they know consumers are expecting higher prices and they have pressure to retain or increase their margins to meet shareholder expectations.

I think they necessarily will. I can’t imagine retailers eating the lost margin.

Down 4% today so far. Retirement fantasies evaporating. Probably good news for 20 somethings, they can buy more and if they survive the climate change famines, water wars, genocides, and non-renewable resource shortages, those shares will probably be worth a lot.

Betteridge’s law applies. The answer to a yes-no headline question is always no.

Permabanned for asking what Eisenhower would do if he was present at a Nazi march in Wisconsin and someone handed him a machine gun.

Apparently, impossible hypotheticals (Eisenhower is long dead) intended as a commentary on the fascist shift of the republican party (Eisenhower was a republican) are advocating violence. Eisenhower famously led efforts to kill Nazis.

So here I am.

Part of me wants to engage in ban evasion and just post hate all over reddit to make it worse. What are they going to do? Ban me? Too lazy to bother though.

I don’t want to ask ai. Google automatically gives me ai search results that are piss poor. Those useless results still use energy to generate.

And the quality of the AI output sucks. I was recently looking for information about positive convention for yaw, pitch, and roll in aircraft. I was looking at az and yaw and got reasonable results from the AI, but when I looked at pitch and el all of the results were about elevator pitches. Even when I spelled out elevation it insisted on elevator pitches. I scroll past the AI results as a matter of principle, but I usually look at them so I have something specific to complain about when people ask why I am so virulently anti-AI.

Ah, who are the snowflakes again?? Got to suppress criticism, especially if it is funny.

I don’t like that a team can have the second best record in the entire NFL, but if the best record is in their division they get a road game against a mediocre division winner as a reward (you can easily imagine a 13-4 division runner up getting a road game against an 8-9 division winner.

It would be amazing if the Senate inadvertently caused a run on the banks. What if every Wells Fargo customer said, fuck it, I am moving my money to a local CU this week? I would be so happy. Can’t wait for closing your account to be made a war crime. Move your shit while it’s legal!

Are they drinking bleach snd taking horse dewormer yet? Dumb fucks.

I cannot wait for that fat bastard to die. Plenty of much better, useful, kinder, loved, younger people die every day. Why can’t we have some fucking justice?

In the U.S. “fiscal conservatism doesn’t exist” so I hope you are voting against the hate mongers and trying to reform their opposition into balancing the budget (difficult when the hate mongers keep fucking the tax code in favor of the ultra-rich).

Lots of free movies on Tubi. I watched a few old movies that I missed there. I just don’t watch movies much anymore.

Yay, my 50 something butt is a younger people.
