It’s more like we came out of WW2 up by 10 because the other teams got decimated. As the decades have gone on they’ve rebuilt their teams and scored some goals so while we kept scoring, they were catching up. This is actually the natural process where a rebuilt Europe was expected to eventually equal the US.
But Trump just blew up the scoreboard and now everyone is wondering if we’re even still playing the same game.
It’s really not cheap. We have the studies about how it’s more expensive and about how food deserts exist. And time? Lmao. You get home from an 8-5 job at 6-7 depending on your commute. Which means you have 2-3 hours for relaxation, food, exercise, social activity, bills, and house chores before you have to go to sleep so you can get 8 hours.
And expecting someone to work all day and still have abundant mental energy is just pure toxic positivity. That’s not the experience of most people. We also have historical studies showing we didn’t “work” as much in pre-industrial times and that with the rise of shift work comes the rise of prepared food as a calorie source.
The answer here is plainly to regulate the prepared food, not blame people for their lack of a pocket universe operating on a different timescale.
That takes money, time, and mental energy. None of which are in high supply for most people working shift jobs or 8-5. The best personal solution is to make and freeze your meals on your off day so you can just heat them up whenever. The best systemic solution is to guillotine a capitalist for producing toxic food that masquerades as healthy and delicious, then ask the others if they have any questions about the new food regulations.
This is far less of a problem in other countries. We don’t have to let corporations treat us as an exploitable resource.
There are cities that use medics on motor bikes for this exact reason. They can’t evac someone but getting there quickly to use a defibrillator or control bleeding could make a difference.
The sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculous. It’s something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.
It would require Apple to accept a dollar less in profit.
That’s a useless show of disrespect. People we need in place would be fired for taking over one news cycle. Worse it could kick a purge of officers into high gear by giving ammunition to conservatives that the military has “gone rogue”.
Greenland is hard. They’d likely do it. It’s a legal order under the War Powers Act. They would probably do it in a completely different way than going full explodey like they did with Iraq, but it would happen.
Now they could drag their feet, super telegraphing their moves, effectively giving Congress time to use the WPA to shut it down. But it’s not guaranteed by any means.
Canada would see mass desertions though. And Mexico or Panama are actually the most likely targets. The military would invade those places without a second thought.
Because they aren’t robots.
In this case there was no real issue. He was trying to get free advertising out of the court. But also, we’ve had animated avatars and text to voice for over a decade now. This isn’t an AI use case.
This whole thing is a joke right? A put up between the newspaper, cops, and park management?
Jokes on them. I got a hard time for a formation in hell.
You could look at it as them building future US military bases…
I had to check the sub. I was loading the proverbial shotgun. You got me OP. :)
Tell me with a straight face that Schumer isn’t celebrating this.
Haha yeah I’ve always said the real test is the 12 mile march in 3 hours. If you can’t walk, you ain’t infantry. But the Army, (my ex), in all it’s wisdom wants to measure all this other stuff. I could get on board with a weighted drag and a sprint too but it’s really not necessary.

Hello officer? I’d like to report a suspicious person in my retirement community!
I didn’t say they did?
