Akshually, there's only one Sol-ar system.

The fact is that any manned vehicle capable of interplanetary travel is by the nature of the energies involved, also a weapon of mass destruction. A spaceship is a weapon in the same way a car can be a weapon.

So either you massively restrict access to this technology, or you create a system of surveillance and defense that is so pervasive and effective that it makes 1984 look benign, OR you just say fuck everyone else and use that weapon to remove yourself from range of everybody else's weapons.

Proliferation is an existential problem for anyone in range.

Is it really voting against their own interests if they know the person they're voting in will just take tax dollars from cities and divert it to them to make them whole again?

These Kulaks know what they're doing. They just don't realize where it leads. They think the czar will always be there to protect them.

If you replaced all muscle and fat in a 6'3 body with marshmallow fluff, you might end up looking a bit like trump at "225".

I'm 6'3 225 and I can assure you, I wasnt nearly that fat even when I was pushing 250. If he's actually 6'3 (he isn't) then brody is pushing 270-300 EASY. You can hide a lot of weight on a 6'3 frame, but not that much.

To add context: He helped his cousin stab two people, including another 13 year old child in a targeted attack against jews. Just because he didn't physically stab anyone doesn't mean he wasn't an active and willing accessory. This kid was not innocent.

Hopefully he turns his life around. Time will tell.

The best way to bring manufacturing back to America is to promote labor rights abroad. Instead of dragging other countries industries down with TARRIFS, lift the workers of the world up, so they're no longer undercutting each other in the labor market.

Reward companies in America that make products with union labor, regardless of if those unions are American or not.

Congrats to the brave men and women who made that victory possible. A win for labor rights anywhere is a win for workers everywhere.

This is of course after they spent decades consolidating power, wealth and influence with those same IP laws, while snuffing out all smaller competitors.

The speed with which Americas tech CEOs have embraced this new oligarchic system is astounding. It's almost like that was the plan all along. Almost.
