Zelensky has to hedge his bets and play nice with Republicans.
Even if the Orange fuckwad looses you don’t want to appear to snub his base or give other Republicans a reason to oppose further aid legislation.
I mean they will oppose it because a third of the Republican Party are Putin’s shills, but don’t give them reasons to oppose it.
I never thought I’d have something in common with a Saudi Prince but here we are…
Orrrr and hear me out. We just pass a national right to repair law.
There, problem fixed and we don’t need to burn anything!

Not with that attitude.
Fuck this, feds need to keep their bullshit away from my truck.
Naw homie, this had nothing to do with the USA. This is just some good Ol’ Mossad hijinks.
He’s lost my vote then.
Sounds like a lot more opportunities to put some spicy batteries in Mid East bound electronic shipments.
You do realize those pagers were made in Taiwan right?
I’d reprimand him but for other reasons. Pressing the slide up against a person can cause the weapon to go out of battery. If the officer did need to pull the trigger there is a chance it would it not fire.
Edit: Nevermind, after a closer look the officer has the flashlight pressed against the suspects face. Giving some distance between the slide and his head, it should fire just fine.
The pace of technological change and innovation was always going to slow down this decade. But Covid, Ukraine and a decoupling from Russia/China has further slowed it.
You need three things in abundance to create tech. First an advanced economy, which narrows down most of the world. Second you need lots of capital to burn while you make said advances. Finally you need lots of 20 and thirty something’s who will invent and develop the tech.
For the last 20 years we’ve had all of those conditions in the Western world. Boomers were at the height of their earnings potential and their kids were leaving home in droves letting them pour money into investments. Low interest rates abound because capital was looking for places to be utilized. China was the workshop of the world building low to mid range stuff allowing the West to focus its excess Millennials age workforce on value added and tech work.
Now in the USA boomers are retiring and there aren’t enough GenX to make up the difference. Millennials and finally getting down to household creation or their oldest cohorts (Xennials) just now entering into their mid 40s and starting to move up in their careers but they probably still have kids to support. So it will be some time before capital becomes plentiful again. Gen Z is large but they aren’t enough to back fill the loss of Millennials.
Ohh I made a point to highlight that this was a US demographic phenomena. Europe and Japan do not have a large Millennial or GenZ populations to replace their aging boomers. We have no modern economic model to map out what will happen to them.
China is going through a demographic collapse worse than what you see in Europe or Japan. Only they aren’t rich to compensate add in the fact that they decided to antagonize their largest trading partners in the West causing the decoupling we are now seeing.
The loss of their labor means the West has to reshore or find alternative low wage markets for production and expend a lot of capital to build out the plant in those markets to do so.
Add on top geopolitical instability of the Ukraine and you have a recipe for slower tech growth.

Stay strapped or get clapped. 👏
I tried reading this article but it just repeats points it already made and expands upon definitions to the point that it seems pedantic.
This looks like a AI written article that was never edited by a human. I’d advise skipping it.
Also fuck Crypto Bros.
I can see why Brexit was soo popular back in the day.
Uhhh we are addressing right to repair not corporate influence on the state.
Pick the right tools for the job not everything needs a hammer.
