A TOASTER IS JUST A DEATH RAY WITH A SMALLER POWER SUPPLY!

You don’t know that they aren’t conducting zero-g battles.

Remember, the enemy’s gate is down.

They do, though. Tons of flood insurers and fire insurance companies mysteriously pulled out over hurricane and fire season in Florida and across the West Coast last year. It was a huge thing.

It’s not sad, but there’s a lot of anxiety inducing moments.

The job market isn’t really geared to handle hundreds of thousands of people needing new work all at once. Even without any other resultant cuts, a huge amount of unemployed people is going to be incredibly bad for the economy, and for social stability as a whole.

He also stopped wearing most of his gold after being down in New Orleans helping clean up from Katrina. Said he felt it was wrong to be displaying such wealth when he was staring at people who had just lost literally everything.

And then their server center burns down from the enormous influx of traffic, Musk pockets the money, and the entire world sweeps into something worse than the Depression because a good chunk of the entire world economy simply doesn’t exist now.

It’s not just the recognizable smell they add it for, it’s the fact that it’s an odorant that’s detectable at an INCREDIBLY small concentration (humans can smell it at 1 part per BILLION).

Nah, what he promised him is exactly what we see: $500B in rare earths, every year. Trump’s always been a terrible dealer, and this is no exception: he doesn’t do back-and-forth, he just tosses his entire hand on the table and says “here’s what I want”, then bullies you into accepting. If you don’t, he’ll either harass you, or back out saying YOU sabotaged the deal because you didn’t give him what he wanted immediately.

I love how none of them ever had grandparents that got “divorced” before no-fault. You know what you did a lot of the time before no-fault if you wanted out? Killed your husband. Wives, when they were forced with a situation where they couldn’t simply leave the state/country, would just poison their spouse. In the early 1900s, when your wife was often the one who was at home all the time, preparing all your meals, it was INCREDIBLY easy to do in a way that looked like “oh well he just kept getting sicker and sicker”.

The POINT is to break the government. It’s a lot easier to convince people to privatize things that way.

I’m reminded of that one time the entire Polish government was killed in a plane crash in Smolensk.

$20 says they’re going to try to make it so hospitals can refuse care.

Yup, kinda like train derailments. Most of them aren’t huge, so you don’t hear about them, but they happen a lot.

If you JUST get measles, you should be fine. The issue is the potential for immune amnesia - meaning the potential for opportunistic infection is incredibly high, as is the potential for that infection to become serious.

No, it’s going to taxpayers.

Corporations pay taxes.

The issue is that controlled burns require a large amount of manpower to make sure it STAYS controlled. You don’t simply toss a match into that part of the forest, there’s a lot of firebreak work and very careful observation that goes in to making sure a burn doesn’t turn into something bigger and harder to control.

This is pretty much the story of the entire Land Warrior program. Nobody ever expected it to be a Real Thing, it was always a pie-in-the-sky boondoggle to make a shitload of money for the MIC.

I’m sure a lot of these names are people who were courted by think-tanks like the Heritage Foundation. A lot of them pay TONS to send middle class and rich kids to good colleges all to get them near positions of power - then they saw Elon randomly walking into government departments with valuable data and said ‘well shit let’s just give these kids who were gonna be coffee gophers for Lauren Boebert to him instead’.

Don’t forget ICE going into schools and boarding schoolbuses so they can arrest Hispanic-looking kids. They didn’t just accelerate the genocide, they imported it home.
