They don't like to talk about it because it's just this, and even they know that's wrong.

Does Steven Cheung ever have a nice day? Even in an administration with people like Miller and Hegseth, he stands out as a full-time asshole.

I wouldn't worry about China stealing US fighter-jet (or really any other) technology via Saudi Arabia. They already have an established pipeline for stealing that technology via Israel.

Fun facts:
(1) A 3% tax on real estate would more than replace the revenue from the US federal income tax.
(2) A land value tax on *urban land only* at an average rate of $2000/acre would too.
In light of that, it's utterly absurd and corrupt that we still tax labor most of all.

OT, but it turns out that "Spitalfields" has had many spellings historically, some quite close to "Spittlefields". I was also delighted to learn about the "hospital" connection. But the real kicker is "Lolsworth" as an alternative name. Love that.

It's amazing how the Establishment and their mouthpieces act like it's our solemn duty to *consume* 24/7, while they deny so many the resources that such consumption requires. As awful as he was, at least Henry Ford realized that you need to let people prosper if you want them to buy your products.

I think Rubio and Trump should take a long walk around Washington DC. The Secret Service folks will be assigned later. I'm sure it will be fine.

You've posted this a half dozen times, and other people were posting the *exact same words* before you. Let's leave the bot behavior to the bad guys, OK?

It's bad here, even worse on Threads. So many new (or newly active) accounts, picking fights on literally any subject. It's not just "waffles"; it's something new and even worse.

There are players who enjoy that kind of thing, but they're a minority. Unfortunately, among people who *make* games they're a much higher percentage. The designers and developers are making the game *they* want to play, and all too often that means fuck everyone else.

The funny thing is, *they'll get caught*. More complete versions exist elsewhere - from survivors, Epstein estate, co-conspirators' archives, foreign governments. It's going to be one big fight over which version is authoritative, leading to zero repercussions. 🤬

I wish we had a government that didn't make this seem so likely, but my mind immediately went to another FF - False Flag. They've been trying to provoke something like this for months, and obviously don't care about NG lives (or any but their own really). Maybe they just got tired of waiting.
