It broke WAY before January 6th.

They rushed. If you push it too fast it’ll blow up in your face.

Amateurs.

Future historian: “Actually, it was the ‘covfefe’ tweet.”

We mock, but at least it wasn’t a USB flash drive this time.

2026:

1984 forced all of that.

Brave New World, people LOVE it and can’t imagine any other way to live.

Brave New World is the nightmare dystopia we CHOOSE, not the one that gets forced on us.

We are MUCH MUCH closer to the BNW/Fahrenheit 451 dystopias than 1984.

“the”

I hate to say it, but there’s no fast answer to that question.

The best answer seems to be what most smart countries are doing right now… slowly unwinding their dependency on the US and finding alternative suppliers for everything critical they need so they can get the leverage they need to criticize and resist. This has the added benefit of isolating the US economically, reducing its currency’s ability to influence things.

Over time the US will grow less and less able to throw its weight around, and eventually a tipping point will be reached where picking an ideological fight with the US won’t have a major impact. That’s when the US will be stopped.

Yeah. Owning the thing you pay for is a premium feature.

Too early. This is a fight for November. The fight for now is, are you fighting to boost the candidate you like who you CAN support? Or just waiting to see what settles so you can just complain about how it’s not good enough?

How about before we get to that point you pick a candidate you DO support and boost them so they BECOME the candidate instead of passively waiting for whoever floats to the top of the bog?

Yes, please do.

Tank what few remaining sales of your garbage cars are left, asshole.

Wait, wait, wait…

A company screws up and ruins itself, and the government concerns itself with the PEOPLE who will be screwed by the irresponsible actions of an unaccountable company, instead of socializing the company’s losses and leaving the tenants to fend for themselves?

I never thought I’d live to see it happen.

You paid absolutely ZERO attention to the comment Ach made.

Your situation today is NOT guaranteed to be your situation tomorrow. You can afford kids today and get hit by a bus tomorrow, and now you can’t. Don’t pretend to be so thick you don’t understand how circumstances can change beyond one’s control.

Ooh! Can we get the deflation too??

Nationalism sure is having a day despite the fact nearly everyone (with a few notable exceptions) in 2025 is being f***ed harder by their own country than by ANY external powers.

Welcome to the jungle, baby. You’re gonna die!
