For context, the America lost about 55,000 soldiers in the Vietnam War, which lasted about 10-12 years. Russian has already lost at least 600,000 in a couple of years.

Then they can become the world's supplier of battle-tested drones.

You might actually want to read the link before you open your mouth and prove yourself stupid.

This is the book that drives Russian foreign policy, and is entirely responsible for the global rise of the far-right. Dismissing it as a "conspiracy theory" marks you as either a Russian-compromised stooge, or an idiot.

How's the view with your head in the sand?

Yeah, I'm looking at these guys in their loose flannel, and thinking I got all sorts of stuff to grab onto and throw these skinny little punks around. I could slam that guy on the right against his car at least three times before he even realizes he's getting the shit kicked out of him. Losers.

Imagine ridiculing people because they expect cops to do their actual jobs, and protect and serve the citizens.

Between AI and Robotics, we will likely have a permanently unemployed segment of close to 50%, or even more, within the next decade.

Not everyone will be able to be retrained to be a robotics engineer or AI programmer, and many, many jobs that are considered entry-level will disappear. Imagine a world where most fast food and retail workers are unemployed.

When 40% of America is unemployed, the government will be faced with 2 options - Universal Basic Income, or reducing the population by 40%. Which solution will each party embrace, and how will they accomplish their objectives?

Social Security is literally the easiest problem to fix. Just raise the cap.

Right now, we pay SS on the first $167,000 in income. Most people make less than that so they pay SS on 100% of what they earn. But those who earn more that $167K only pay it on the first $167K.

So all they have to do is raise the cap from $167K to $250K, or $500K, etc. They'll scream about it, but who cares? Most of us pay it on 100% of our pay, so I'm not concerned if you have to pay it on a fraction of that amount.

Simple. Stop listening to the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and just raise the cap.

And they had the richest tech billionaire, and our most hostile enemy, partner up with the most prolific traitor in American history to rig the election.

They used to avoid the Mainstream Media, preferring their own bought and paid for Conservative Propaganda Machine, but that changed during HiterPig's first term.

Suddenly, news outlets were excited to have MAGA Nazis come on their shows to spew lies and propaganda, with no challenge. They allowed the Traitors to use their airwaves to abuse the relationship that news orgs had built with their viewers. Viewers, trusting that relationship, often believed the lies, and gave MAGA undeserved credibility.

If they were going to let those jackals in their airwaves, the news media had the responsibility to use that opportunity to challenge the lies, and expose the MAGA Nazis for the traitors they are, but the media did nothing.

My parents got really mad the day I came home as a girl. They were pissed! Made me go back to school the next day and get my penis re-installed.
