That’s an interesting way of doing sanctions. What’s worse? Cutting them off completely, or changing business practices to ensure you still get their money, but they don’t get the product?

It’s pretty insane. If the guy’s not good enough to run for president how could he possibly be good enough for the job.

The spy was interrogated?

This kind of got brushed under the rug, but you might remember that China claimed they were both spy’s. The Canadian government denied this. Then it turns out kovrig was a spy, and he was accused of using the other Michael for espionage activity without his knowledge. That Michael, spavor, sued the Canadian government. The Canadian government settled for something like 7 million.

Kursgesat forgets to mention the incredible forces that would put on the payload. NASA funded a study that suggested they start with a jet going mach 10, or 3.5 km/s. The fastest a person has ever gone is mach 6.7 or 2.02km/s. For efficiency sake, you’d want to get up to speed in a reasonable amount of time. I doubt humans can effectively use sky hooks. Could be really good for stuff though

I’m really out of practice, but I remember that onion fondly. My teacher would have us write our fundamental principles down and then do it again a year later and compare.

I trained tai chi and a little ba gua. I sparred a little with some karate and take kwon do people. I cleaned up. I did some light sparring with a ba gua guy and he was literally throwing me around effortlessly.

I was taught well. I would imagine that my teacher was 1/1000. When looking for him, I found at least 5 different schools that had no idea what they were doing and teaching tai chi anyways.

#1. Israel is the aggressor. The state has been imposed on the people of the middle east through violence. #2. Through US support, Israel is the most powerful country in this conflict. They therefore have the moral responsibility to act in a way to promote peace #3. Hamas and Hezbollah are not terrorist organizations. They’re legitimately part of their respective government’s #4. Any act you’ve been told is a terrorist act by those two organizations was very likely legal under international law. Israel is an occupying force. People are legally allowed to fight that force through violence.

I believe he’s the type of guy that’s compartmentalized. He full heartedly believes that the rich need to be taxed more and that he’ll work tirelessly to prevent it because it’s bad for business

Progressive policies are popular. There’s a phenomenon where centrists pretend to be progressive in order to be elected and then do a heel turn.

‘Et tu Bernie?’ References this. And here I am having to explain very recent history to some lib in defense of some leftist/progressive I’ve never met because libs can’t take any fucking criticism during any fucking time. Maybe stop for a moment and engage some critical thinking. We weren’t happy to see biden drop out JUST because he’s old. Everyone was hoping for policy change, but that dreams gone, and Trump’s up in polls as a result…

I made a prediction 2 years ago that elon would be the first billionaire turned homeless person. It was more a dream, but I’ve never made a prediction I want to happen as much as that one

Oddly enough that secondary exodus is probably why this place is so much more positive

This is just an example of how this was never about Oct 7. The West bank has a completely different government than the Hamas led gaza strip. There are no hostages in the west bank. This is a provocative act as isntreal continues to try and make a wider regional conflict.

If you take a look at their battery industry, you’ll see they’re taking it very seriously

Or just don’t federate with threads. Embrace, extend, extinguish is a thing

Essentially ensuring any RFK voter is taken from biden and not Trump

So magneto has actually fought for mutant rights from the beginning. And every time he gets ahead the xmen win and mutant rights don’t really move forward. The xmen literally fight for the status quo. The status quo is bad for mutants, but they want to keep it for some reason. An analogy I’ve heard a lot is that professor x is the mlk to Magneto’s Malcolm x. The difference is that mlk didn’t bank roll a CIA black ops style team to constantly beat up Malcolm x whenever he started getting a leg up.

People are fed up. They’re more open to extreme actions. That’s why people are more sympathetic to Magneto

They prop up prices in a lot of ways, the first one that comes to mind is extending the length of a mortgage. That makes housing both more affordable, but also makes the banks a lot more money.

We have all of our eggs in that basket. Also, I went to an affordable housing conference in 2018. At that point, Canada was in crisis. Prices are much higher now

Thanks… There’s a lot of reasons why this analogy isn’t going to last now because supply and demand is grade school economics. Check out all of the ways government is subsidizing construction of units. And how does it work when a company is selling units, but they have to have an increase in revenue quarter over quarter? They can’t suddenly sell for less. Otherwise stock price will fall and executive’s will have to take parachutes. Government doesn’t want all these companies to fail, so they prop up the prices. This thing is far too complicated for supply and demand economics. Anyone selling that has invested in real estate

Supply and demand doesn’t begin to explain Canadian housing issues. If I have 10 apples that i sell $1/piece, I’m not going to start selling them at $.75/piecewhen I get 30 apples.
