It’s a made up committee…
You ever watch Silicon Valley?
This is like when Bighead gets sent to the roof. trump can’t fully fire her, because she’ll start singing.
So she gets shuffled to a nowhere post that still has perks and money, but she just sits in a room all day. She runs out the clock, but it’s a dead end spot.
He doesn’t even know what “announced” means his brain is so fried…
What?
Thing 1 is bad, thing 2 is worse.
Being raised by the worst parents is bad, being raised by ai is worse.
Being paralyzed from the waist down is bad, being paralyzed from the neck down is worse
I picked what I thought would be the clearest comparison of “undeniably bad” and “undeniably worse”. So I’m honestly impressed someone got confused enough to get offended.
The improvement is that she stuck by trump threw everything and he just threw her under the bus.
Everyone in the admin just wondered if they’ll be next and if trump would protect them when the masses get upset at what trump does.
Now imagine how much worse those kids would be if just raised by AI.
This is like if someone said being paralyzed from the neck down was worse than being paralyzed from the waste down, so you say look at all these people paralyzed from the waist down…
Nah, even a shit parent is better than chatbots
The reality is that gas station profit margins on fuel are famously thin. After accounting for the wholesale cost of gasoline, taxes, and credit card processing fees (which can be a significant percentage of the transaction), the net profit on a gallon of gas can be just a few cents. This makes relying on fuel sales alone a risky proposition. The market is volatile, and a small swing in wholesale prices can wipe out your already slim margins.

The shift kills people tho…
Literally, a shit ton of heart attacks happen because people’s schedule changes all of a sudden. No, those would likely happen in the following months anyways, but them all happening at the same time overloads our medical system even when staffing is adjusted for it.
They already don’t make money off gas
Their profits are the stuff in the store, the excuse people have for overpaying is that they’re already there.
We’ll see a lot close, and the ones that remain grow to be basic conscience stores.
They’ll still have the gas pumps, because it’s expensive to remove them. But new builds will likely just be parking lots instead of pumps.
The old stations would be what people have to rely on.
As such the ones on the outskirts would be the ones that close first.
Last gas stations will be in downtown areas where getting rid of 60 year old pumps wouldn’t gain anymore parking than people parking at the pumps.
I’m talking about China supplying them with a new weapon specifically meant to have them sink that carrier…buddy
Why would they want a real life test of their new weapons strategy that is an open secret at no risk to their own while simultaneously giving their largest global competitor literally the largest black eye since nuclear bombs?
Gee…
I don’t know Bob.
And those countries host bases because otherwise they’d ‘face’ carriers?
Most countries don’t want a US base, especially in the Middle East.
They have them because the alternative is US backed regime change for a government that will allow those bases. A regime change where air craft carriers will be where the war is launched from
If the US is afraid to expose Aircraft carriers, then the threat of regime change for not allowing bases disappears. While the threat of being attacked for hosting a base changes.
That’s global politics, and will result in the closure of foreign bases.
This is a giant win for countries like NK, China, Russia, anyone who was being kept in check be ause in less than a week the equivalent of the 7th largest air force in the world could show up in the form of a single carrier group.
It’s ok not to understand this stuff before anyone explains it to you, but you might want to be nicer if you want people to keep answering who know what the answers are.
Just sayin, were already gonna have to rebuild part of the White House…
I wouldn’t see any need to rebuild mar lago tho
Buddy, microdrones aren’t a secret, and it’s not a question if they’d sink a carrier. Doing it though would make everyone on the planet aware that American foreign power now solely relies on foreign bases. Important because most countries that host US bases, do so because if they didn’t they’d have to face carriers.
By that logic, why did Japan get nuked twice? The US just sunk a military vessel with a torpedo, something that last happened in WW2
Not even getting into all the other shit like blowing up a leader as an opening move in a war you secretly launch.
Like…
How the fuck can anyone look at the last week and think Iran responding against a military attack would be a bridge too far?
The giant missiles were running out of…
They’re often 10s of millions of dollars each.
That’s what conventional warfare is based around, making and defending against them.
So defenses can’t stop that same payload spread across 1,000 drones all launched at the same time. There’s simply too much to be shot down.
China is the only ones focusing on “mini swarms” and they’re pretty much Iran’s only big ally and already supplying them with arms.
Even if Iran doesn’t want to pay for it, I feel like China is gonna give it to them, just to see if it can really sink a US carrier.
Personally I think it can, and Iran may already have it.
That would be some shit that would permanently alter world diplomacy, our military strength is based around air craft carriers and foreign bases, and we’re closer to losing both than we’ve ever been
Being an influencer in Dubai and pretending the things you get paid to do on camera is what gets uploaded to social media…
It can’t be solved on a local level, because it’s not a local problem.
If a city does what it takes to fix it, it becomes a mecca people from other states travel to. And other states might even pay the transportation fees.
It needs to be addressed at a federal level so fixes can be implemented nationally at the same time. Otherwise any place that tries to fix it gets overwhelmed
because it’s such a broad brush that has only become broader with time.
The real problem is boomers are trying to force their personal brush when every other generation had their own…
Silent was 17 years.
Boomers were 18 years
But their lines were drawn based on localized trends.
After that they just started making it every 15 years no matter what. Standardizing it broke the system. Modern generations should be divided by tech. The kids who grew up before computers, Oregano Trail generation that did, then smartphone/social media kids, then tablet babies.
That would make generations meaningful again. Right now we might as well just be talking birth years, because that’s all they’ve meant for 60 years.
Silver Lining:
Even if renewables are more expensive for small countries, this is going to make them prioritize it over fossil fuels.
Every country on the planet is going to be incentizied to be energy independent, and renewables are the only way small countries can do that.
Which is going to crash the price of fossil fuel exports, which is the only way to actually cut production down globally.
Exports down means domestic prices rise, so even producer countries would start moving more to renewables.
Gonna absolutely blow for gas prices though. But that means if the next president yanks gas subsidies at the pump, it could be the final blow to gas powered American vehicles.
If it’s $5 at the pump, no one is buying new gas cars.
Absolutely stupid to use “baby boomer” in the concept of global anything…
It means nothing outside of America, because no one else experienced not only the post WW2 baby boom, but more importantly the economic boom America got from being the only intact western super power after the war.
I just how the entire concept of generations have become so twisted it’s almost an instant write-off when someone brings them up.
Federation is spotty
