A) Fuck Amazon B) Fuck the US C) The deals are absolutely terrible, why the fuck would it encourage me to buy anything?

It’s the lone star state…

Outta 5 possible

Too simplistic to be cynical, just naive.

Pretty naive take on how governments work.

While on one hand I hope that people realize this is literally their government being purchased by a single rich guy and push back… I know they’re far too stupid for that.

Parents tend to be impacted when their children die. Dying themselves is often preferable.

He was obviously referring to the adults in the state, not the children.

There may be individual products that have gone down in price like for example eggs may have returned to more normal pricing from their highs, but that index tracks a standardized set of fairly normal products that people buy regularly and on average the whole shopping bill has gone up every single month.

So yes, they are delulu.

Even the US government is saying consumer prices aren’t going down.

The percentage they’re going up each month has gone down from the inflation bubble we had just recently, but they have still gone up in price every single month for the last 7 years or so.

Unless you’re really old, I wouldn’t bet too hard on that. Things tend to happen quickly once they reach a tipping point.

The Arab spring revolutions were not even two years long and a dozen countries countries with 4 rulers being deposed.

I would absolutely bet money that before I die in 30-40 years the US will have fewer states than it currently does.

Silver lining?

You’re more likely to reach the revolution part of the history cycle faster, and reset the wheel for future generations to also fuck up.

It’s funny that you think America isn’t pulling the strings from the start.

Starting?

Israel and Iran have been at war for decades.

that was for actual citizens

The US needs to be rebooted at this point, it’s not working properly for the citizens anymore.

They are attacking Israel all the time, who do you think is funding Hamas?

It’s nothing but a pipe dream at this point, and ground bases will still be necessary.

This was my response last time, Canada isn’t optional, most ballistic missile paths from Russia and China pass over Canada and detecting them would require radar architecture in Canada

They do not need to be willing to sell, Eminent domain is part of the 5th amendment and government can use it to seize pretty much anything for ‘public use’ but it does call for compensation

Just nationalize SpaceX at this point for “national security reasons”
