With Trump, it's always, always, always about loyalty.

OK, OK... Would you perhaps be willing to elaborate on which specific people maybe?

Yes, and I feel like I addressed that with "...those plans come with a ton of asterixes..."

If it helps, he doesn't actually believe this, or care either way, he's just extremely bribable.

It's actually insane to think about what could have been accomplished with the capital investment that has collectively gone into generative AI, public ledger blockchain, and metaverse VR projects. IIRC its over a trillion dollars. There are credible plans for more or less ending world hunger for under ten billion. Yeah, those plans come with a ton of asterixes, but the point is, if that's what ten gets you, imagine what you could do with a hundred billion? Now think about what a trillion could do. It's honestly sickening.

There's still a metaverse budget?

I'm aware. That's not what I meant by "This is not a joke."

Also the hint is that OP said they meant it as a joke. But, yeah, everything you said too.

At this point why in the fuck should we give a shit about what angers the US?

This is not a joke. This is genuinely what a significant number of flat earthers believe.

Call or write to your MP. Let them know that no one wants this.

Exactly. The reason why there's so much heat on this particular incident is simply because there's zero grey area. Like, in general the blowing up "drug boats" stuff is almost certainly a war crime, but it at least falls within the "Lawyers can argue it in court" realms. Whereas killing survivors of a sunken ship is literally the textbook definition of a warcrime in the US military's own manual on this stuff. It is so cut and dried that they use it as an example of a de facto illegal act.

Maybe shoot these guys an email, see what they can offer?

I can't speak to lactose free, but they're the only place I buy cheese now. Super helpful and friendly, and their selection is amazing.
