Also, when people are trying to make a point, inadvertently they’ll stand differently and have different posture ever so subtly.

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

Seriously, this person is making CV joints. It’s not like they are a doctor or a firefighter. I don’t see the urgency. This world needs to chill.

Is there a television show that doesn’t have a gun in it?

I wonder when the first one will happen?

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.

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.

That is a correct read and more accurate. These are policies of the Democrats, not a guiding principle of the left.

Yes, his is fascism and should not happen.

However…I do think that the left lives in a bubble sometimes, and fail to get tracking amongst the working class. Working class people really do want proper police protection, and deserve it.

Sure crime statistics are down, but everything has become very uncomfortable. Some homeless guy gets on the bus, drunk, with his stained clothing inside out, and maybe on drugs and now you have to worry if they are going to stab you.
Yes, police should not harass homeless people, but now you have 20 average people on the bus worried that they’ll be stabbed. This mild level of anxiety is constant.

The left has asked the working class to take on a disproportionate amount of burden, yes it’s better to have out treatment for addiction, and not arrest the unhoused, but the working and lower middle class do feel the pinch of this policy affecting them.

The working class, blue collar residents, see Trump make these proclamations and desperately hope something breaks in their favor. It won’t Trump is not a capable manager.

Trump makes a bizarre statement -> the press publish it -> the Republican controlled government uses it as a footnote from a reliable news source to justify its random actions -> things go horribly wrong and the GOP blames the Democrats

The world is a small place, the same ‘play book’ gets used by different groups. All test marketed and A/B social network tested.

There is also the knock-on effect, when AI goes belly up, the tech industry will be stagnant for some time. So many of the tech developments will be hampered.
