Shen Bapiro would be first in line to scream and cry when those jobs he deems shouldn't pay a living wage are no longer getting done because the people who would do them followed his advice.

He's managed to go past the classic "I acknowledge this job needs doing, I just don't think whoever gets stuck with it should be compensated enough to live off it" straight into "Well fuck you, if you're poor, this ain't your country! Anyway what do you mean the 'peasant jobs' aren't getting done?!"

Hey, it worked for Charlie the Gaul (Charles de Gaulle), why not for Peter Hungary?

Maybe the US needs to put up Joe America on the ballot

Narcissism. It's always someone else's fault when everything they touch turns to shit.

That oil is gonna be sold and the money disappear straight into one of Dump's foreign bank accounts. I question how many excesses the US should be allowed to get away before finally hitting a line in the sand that's too far

Have you tried being rich enough that you can hire enough lawyers to bog the IRS down for decades if they think about auditing you? Seems to work for assorted kleptocrats.

"Yeah but any day now I'll be rich too, and I definitely want lower taxes when that happens!"

-People who will not be rich, ever.

Weren't they already doing that before with stealing Venezuelan oil, the profits from the sales of which then promptly disappeared into a bank account in Qatar, or am I misremembering some detail or other?

Wope Leo keeps trying to be reasonable, and the Talibangelicals keep screaming "NOT MY POPE!"

April 1948. Before the Arab states declared war on Israel. Maybe ask yourself WHY they hate Israel.

And/or go fuck yourself, little zionist propagandist.

There's already Russian "peacekeeping" forces in the breakaway region of Transnistria (and have been for years), which has been clamoring to become part of Russia as well, if I'm not mistaken..

"As a knight," the king said, "it is your duty to kill dragons.

"Very well, my liege." The knight said. "Um. May I ask why?"

"Because they hoard wealth without sharing, and people live in fear of their capricious moods." "Very well, my liege," the knight said and drew his sword.

And among their founders were Lehi, a Jewish terrorist group who literally wanted to form an alliance with Nazi Germany to establish an authoritarian Jewish ethnostate in the Middle-East, bound to Germany by alliance. And Israel would later put Lehi's leader, Yitzhak Shamir, as Prime Minister twice.

And they'd even recruit literal Nazis like Otto Skorzeny into Mossad to help them sabotage their neighbors.

Israel was a terrorist state from the second it was founded.

If I remember, back with Dump 1.0, or maybe the interim period, that guy who likes interviewing MAGAs was out on the streets and said Dump had said something shitty to this older MAGA lady, who immediately refused to believe him. When he said there's literal video of him saying it, she just started screaming "FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS!" at him over and over every time he tried to speak.

I can't help but wonder how much Republican support it would actually cost for Dump if those came out. How many would just say "FAKE NEWS! MANIPULATED VIDEOS!", and how many would openly declare that yeah they're cool with raping kids?

"Retroactively changes the reason we shoved you to the ground."

Ah yes. You're under arrest for resisting arrest!

As an old EVE Online nerd, I believe the term for that is "opportunity cost". Kind of like how in that game people bragged about how they'd build their ships "for free" because they gathered the materials themselves - but *time* is also valuable.

That aside, I'm personally of the opinion that we work to live, not live to work. So enjoy your books with your kids and make sure to give your dog plenty of scritchies

What makes me wonder is, where the hell does the money come from? Surely people with the kind of money to throw hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars on bets like that are either already on the inside, or realized that someone is manipulating things with insider info

So who's putting up the money that these crooks are winning?

If nobody buys the product, it goes bad and thus production cost is a loss.

.. Is the sane logic. The logic that PepsiCo no doubt uses is "Wait, but we DESERVE those sales! How dare the peons stop giving us their money! This is costing us billions!"

Lizards are ectothermic. They depend on external temperatures to regulate their body temperature rather than internal heat like mammals, and get sluggish when cold.

Thus, cold day means slow Gorn

"Who started all this mess"

Hey, real quick - history did not, in fact, start on October 7th 2023. Perhaps if we went back to 1948 we'd see that it was in fact Israel starting this mess.

Usually that just means that the problem of feeding the next lot of slaves on the cheap will be solved for a while. Turns out that guns and daemonic war machines and whatnot are a few steps above shoddy pickaxes and whatever the slaves can cobble together from scrap.

Usually.

General Practitioner. Basically the "I'm feeling kind of funky but not sure why/it doesn't warrant going out to an expensive specialist because I just need a script for antibiotics, not rocket surgery" doctor, I believe

Yeah but then there's fresh questions to answer, like how an Orion Drive that's only good for one pulse before the ship ceases to be a ship is not an attractive prospect for those onboard

One would hope, but the general response from that kind of people seems to go from "It hasn't happened yet, why would we waste money on something that might not happen?" to "It happened already, why would we waste money on precautions AFTER it happened?" (willfully ignoring that such investment might help prevent it from happening *again*)

Jesus Christ that is an almost impressive level of sheer bald-faced lying. The kind of lie that The Party from 1984 would tell.

"Pure" lineages led to the Habsburgs becoming infamous. A lack of genetic diversity can fuck up a group real bad if it goes on long enough.
