Military industrial complex goes brrrrrr.

They also like his "Christian values"... AKA banning abortion

Killing them for fuel is too humane a punishment. We should put them in a hamster wheel instead.

And making comparison between something necessary for the country to function (income tax) to something that is a waste of resources (the MIC) is ridiculous.

I don't think it's that ridiculous. In order for any country state to exist and maintain power, they need some sort of military force to defend what they claim is their border.

Also, the state of Israel has been attacking and terrorizing Palestinians since it's introduction post WW2. And just like the USA, it only exists because it had/has a powerful military.

That and genocide of course.

There were so many gorgeous bonsais at that museum. It's a pretty small museum, but I highly recommend it if you're ever in the Seattle area.

Yeah, but the assistants are editing in them out Photoshop.

I mean .. It's not shrinking though. It's still increasing, just at a slower rate.

So the cancer would still be growing, just not as fast. It's certainly not a remission, as you mentioned.

I should've specified that I meant in the Lemmy comments. But yeah, I've seen 'corporate games' mentioned in a few threads already.

I thought we were calling AAA games 'Corporate Games' now. Is that trend over already?

Not blind hate. AI will be devastating to the environment for to it's power and water consumption. We need to ask ourselves if the future water wars will be worth the corporate profits.

Gold Rush = high demand = invest in (aka buy) shovels

Same thing, no?

• During/after natural disaster, buy cheap land. Probably works during an economic crash too.

• Protests & Riots happening? Invest in glass companies

• Cloudy & rainy every day? Sell coffee (looking at you PNW)

• War happening? Just sell bombs! (see USA) This one is particular good cause you can always start another war. It's just smart business!

At least they're working on the wall part lol

Tbf, so did the Israel Palatine conflict, if not earlier.

Seems about right. Profit over people, right?....

4-5 year prison sentence for planning a roadblock... I've seen child sex offenders get smaller sentences.

Just because it's handled at state level, doesn't mean it has to be handled at state level.

The federal government could easily give money to states with the stipulation that x amount is used to pay teachers.

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.

It's like Cities: Skylines mixed with Factorio.

This guy maths

I mean... that's not that new. And most people are just lurkers anyways.
