That's an important bot of nuance that I missed.

Thanks.

So, the strongest of the weak teams gets the best draft picks?

There are plenty of sucessful companies across a wide range of industries who have never done business in the USA.

The US isn't as important as it thinks it is.

And even that importance is waning.

Doesn't mean it needs Internet access tho

Annoyingly, some models won't let you get through the initial setup menu unless you let it connect.

It's not even a very good (and certainly not an accurete) history book.

Someone outside the USA who is annoyed at stupid US policies fucking over the rest of the world yet again.

When it mandates technology in hardware, manufacturers don’t build a New York-only version. They build one version and sell it everywhere. What passes in Albany won’t stay in New York.

Once again, the USA is being a problem for the entire world.

And, as usual, we don't get any say in the matter unless/until we completely isolate ourselves from them.

Then it changed into "no one really knows when it will happen".

Meanwhile grifters have been predicting the exact date and time (and making money off those predictions) for centuries.

The US really does feel like a Hieronymus Bosch dystopia these days, doesn't it.

since the Avro Arrow was cancelled.

And before.

The Arrow was killed due to pressure from the American government.

Of course it's Palantir. And Peter Thiel is worried about the antichrist.

Tie him to a horse (or a robot dog) and have him lead those troops into battle.

He will get shot both front and back.
