Isn’t the defect rate of NK artillery something like 80% and the munitions arrive covered in machine grease that require cleaning before being used?
Obviously Ruzzia getting war support is bad, but hopefully what was sent ends up hurting Ruzzia military more than helping.
Would be a shame if Ruzzia lost artillery cover across the front lines because most the shells they have on hand are defective and Ukrainian was able to destroy/capture the artillery batteries…
A real shame /s
Can’t wait for prices to go up everywhere else!
Harder to be taken advantage of if you know the means by which one takes advantage of another.
Knowing the wealthy need you more than you need them lets you make stronger demands and form unions.
Being knowledgeable gives you job security and independence, you have intrinsic value as a capable resource - and if spurned can become a troublesome enemy because you understand your opponent and can take advantage accordingly
Knowledge is absolutely power, and power gives you opportunity for freedom to choose how to live your life.
I still have the app on my phone
Just in case
Generally, farmers bitch and cry about anything and everything, except for the things they actually should care about. Like sustainably, and corporate ownership of supply chains that collude on prices and distribution networks while putting all the risk on farmers.
They are one of the more entitled voter blocks who live in a zero sum, anything to ‘survive’ at the expense of everything else mentality.
We’d have dust bowl events every 5 years if farmers had their way. It’s absolutely an industry that demands government intervention, because sustainability isn’t short term profitable.
I’m not suggesting that farmers are inherently bad/greedy/destructive of the environment, as the food supply chain often forces farmers to act this way, but that doesn’t change their current attitudes and approach to agriculture.
My farmchair quarterback call is that Farmers crop yields should be half of their income, and sustainable practices, limited fertilizer and pesticide use, and overall soil quality and health should act as a multiplier to crop yields. So lower yields but better farming practices pays more than high yield, environment destroying, agriculture
The chemicals in your water are no longer chemicals, but value added seasoning!
Holy shit I agree with MTG
Harambe truly was this universe’s anchor being, and the decay is increasing exponentially
Right wing backlash means you’re doing it right!
Clarity can easily be found in Nazi tears.
I was under the impression swapping out an implant was far easier than installing the system.
And I’m also talking about teeth that have been repeatedly drilled, capped, crowns etc - not a normal, healthy tooth.
These teeth are basically anchors for crowns, at what point is a new implant better than a chiseled out tooth?
Honestly, unless this tooth repair gel thing works and becomes available soon, I’d rather have some of my teeth replaced with implants.
I’ve asked my dentist “can we just skip the endless filling replacements, caps, crowns, and eventual implants and just go right to implants?”
They always say no, and I ask is there a reason why “natural teeth” with fillings/caps/crowns are better than implants - they reply with “But it’s your teeth! They’ll last a long time before needing implants!”
Yeah, so I’ll need implants eventually, can’t I just get them now before I put more fillings, caps, crowns, and eventual implants? Ain’t nobody got time for that.
“but your natural teeth will last a long time!”
Yeah, but they ain’t so natural after 5 procedures, and I’d rather avoid the ha$$le and just get the implants now instead of implants and a lifetime of repairs.
They always say no, and it’s probably because they make way more money fixing bad teeth than replacing it with something permanent
EDIT
Thank you everyone!
I’ve gotten better answers here than from my dentist, so thank you everyone for educating me on the reasons why.
Never thought I’d see the day where I hoped a McConnell plan would work in any capacity.
He’s allowed Trump to exist so project 2025 can happen.
Moscow Mitch will do anything to make project 2025 happen, maybe he was convinced the “normal” Republicans can mitigate Trump’s penchant for treason and sedition against America and that mitigation risk was worth the project 2025 payout.
Hopefully he is right about mitigating Trump. Otherwise, I hope McConnell is the first Republican publicly executed because Trump absolutely wants to be able to publicly execute anyone he doesn’t like.
If you want specifics, Project 2025 is absolutely the roadmap they are using.
TL:DR The broadstrokes of America’s decline over the next 4 years are:
Destroy education so poor people cannot understand what’s happening to them and how to stop it, and only wealthy will have the means to educate and employ themselves.
Destroy labor unions so everyone is individually fighting a united corpo government for livable wages
Change local and federal government so elections are pageantry instead of democracy
Mandate religion in school, work, government, and eventually the home.
Online ID so your internet use can be monitored and tracked
Drill baby drill
White supremacy/deportation will be super messy and fuck the economy
Whatever the consequences of not understanding tariffs are
If you’re wealthy, none of this applies to you. This election was to confirm if money and power are above the law.
America overwhelmingly decided they prefer a king unbound by Magna Carta over law, order, and democracy.
Tyson can punch me up for 16 minutes straight, take whatever of my dignity he wants for himself, and I’d be cool with even 10 million.
The world isn’t going to shit because people are willing to entertain others for serious money.
This isn’t aimed at the idiots who would line up around the block and work for free to be called high IQ by Musk. Doesn’t really matter though, it’s all performative
They already know exactly what they want to cut, and billionaires don’t need a salary to realize profits from deregulation.
The job being “no salary” isn’t indicative of how cost effictive a volunteer public servant could be - it is a dinner bell for the wealthy
Not voting has the same consequences, so those aren’t too smart either.
Gen Z are entitled like boomers, but with almost no economic prospects outside their parents.
Which makes sense, since loads of Gen Z were priced out of a future before they could even start earning, so there’s no point in giving effort
At least Trump will guarantee Gen Z nearly unlimited well paying work if they’re interested in bounty hunting immigrants and tracking fertility
What better way to oppress women than by making it illegal to not have your child with you.
Women better get ready to be accosted by police asking where their child is - and if you don’t have one you’ll be entered into the police lottery where everyone at the station gets a chance bestow a child upon you before you can leave.
Damn, strong policy that will actually help regular people acquire a fundamental human need without taking them for absolutely everything they are worth?
Can’t believe she hasn’t been assassinated yet.
Resigned to run for the highest office in the country you mean?
“as it would require congressional action to accomplish legally”
I’m absolutely certain the most crime ridden, corrupt, untouchable person in history who is exclusively fueled by revenge and powerlust would be successfully confined by the law after the supreme court explicitly stated that doesn’t matter for presidents.
Yup, he sure learned his lesson that rules and laws absolutely apply to him and there’s no point in trying to outrun justice if you’re wealthy and connected.
Classic democratic party.
Waiting until the last possible minute to begin pretending to protect Americans from the entitlements of billionaires.
We knew Trump was running again
We knew the media was sane washing everything Trump does, did, and will do
He made specific promises to be a dictator and hinted at this being the last election
He specifically promised to use the army domestically.
Now, it’s almost a month after he won and Democrats are considering maybe doing something about framework regarding the army being used domestically.
Both sides aren’t the same, but they’re both owned by the same people.
Once upon a time Democrats could float the idea of capitulation to business interests to maintain Americans global business dominance. Nowadays any democrat who isn’t fully progressive on workers rights is just another flavor of corporate Greed.
