Even if everyone left, he's still got a bunch of nukes and other powers that could affect the rest of us.

I mean, their stated goal is actually to devalue the dollar so exports are more attractive. Of course, that also means importing becomes more expensive, and China makes everything, so there's no way people are going to be happy about that.

The government can just print money, they don't actually strictly need your taxes (see MMT). The only actual path is withholding labour and mass protests (with at least a credible threat of violent escalations).

I mean, on a Linux system that's not riddled with flatpak / snap / ... You'd basically only need to update libpng and you'd be good.

Somehow the amenities look worse than concentration camps from the 40s.

They've sent people to Sudan as well. They'll find some country that'll take money to take them in.

There's already precedent for sending them to El Salvador. The courts don't seem able to stop them, so they'll do whatever they want.

The ICE train is a traditional design, not Maglev. And yeah, they're just not cost effective for most applications.

I'm convinced the majority of civilian deaths on Oct 7 were also caused by the IDF. There's the tank that shot a house full of hostages, and the Apaches obliterating basically every car that tried to leave the Nova festival. There's a reason the Israeli's never published a breakdown of who got killed and how.

Yep, apparently 'the air' is code for 'a Palestinian' if used in the context of shooting at something. In Gaza they're killing scores of people at food distribution sites with 'warning shots'.

Fwiw, I've seen people with truck nuts-like attachments on their saddles, it's definitely a thing.

Yeah, the guy doesn't shut the fuck up, it's weird to use that phrasing. In fact, he criticised this same bill before the house vote.

He paid a quarter billion dollar only to get the predictable outcome of putting Republicans in charge.
