“I just want you to think about what the alternative was,” said Abbas, referring to the current administration’s handling of Israel’s war in Gaza and its invasion of Lebanon. He added, “What did you expect from myself or many members of the community to do?”

I see Abbas is still in the denial stage.

What I took from this post is that every living room / home theater setup needs a server rack instead of a HiFi rack. Dudnt matter what you thrown in it, it looks badass.

I’m just thinking from perspective of type of offence. In Canada you can park in the middle of the road and that’s a non-criminal offence. You’re getting a fine if someone is bothered to write you up. Purposefully keying a vehicle on the other hand is vandalism, which is a criminal offence. If you get caught, you’d get a record and potentially worse than a fine. It’s a different level of punishment.

I suppose keying them is a criminal offence?

Today they’re smashing it at the rate of installation per year.

I never implied anything about the US.

So not trolling, alright. Sounds to me like you consider them competent in what they did well while not subtracting what they didn’t. Let me contrast the Russian government with something that to me looks much more competent - the Chinese government.

They just keep running into faces.

You call competent a government that pulled the “special military operation” and led hundreds of thousands of its people into death for not much of anything? You must be trolling.

Yup, from the first availability till today, no shenanigans.

Don’t discount the other autos lobbyists. Some have invested heavily in new factories being built and have many more workers in the US combined. Not to mention they can keep selling gas guzzlers till we burn the planet.

I’m trying not to accelerationist but this clown car is getting pretty fast.

We’ll know if we hear any Big Ag name being raided.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance?

Don’t forget they’re just another for-profit corporation. They might be selling great chips for cheaper but that’s still just a temporary side effect of their primary purpose - making the line go up.

At the end of the day the central bank is always dependent on the government. Sometimes at an arms length, other times at a finger length. The government controls the length and gives the authority to issue currency and provides the enforcement needed to ensure it’s one of the few issuers. So it might be more about government competency and its checks and balances.

If they put money supply firmly under the government’s direction, that would eliminate the “technically” argument against MMT that the Fed is independent. Which of course it practically isn’t and these fuckers are going to prove it. If we ever get a worker-friendly government again, they’ll be able to reuse this to pursue a job guarantee program.

Jesus fucking Christ. This should be the top comment people read.
