Wealth accumulates sure, that's why at a certain point taxes should put a brake on that and above an even higher point it should be predominantly taxed. Inheritance tax should allow for some generational transfer but capped at a sane point. And fuckery using foundations etc etc should result in all of it being forfeit.

If Putin now escalates it will be difficult for Trump... This moment there is little risk worth escalation management.

I think that's a valid point. If the US military is purged and restaffed based on loyalty to maga the only thing that stands between the world and annihilation at some point would be a person of conscience... Like what happened before in the USSR.

The US uses b52s for that.

Tomahawk has a land based launch system. And I'm fairly confident the Ukranians will rig it to something for initial delivery. Nesecity is the mother of invention

I really hope that Russia found out about this change in policy as the atacms where already locked onto targets.. press release... Fire.

They should give Ukraine a tranche of tomahawks to really strike deep into Russia.

Hamas does not have the ability to destroy the planet several times over buddy. And a collapsed Russia we saw in the 90s it required scrambling to secure the nuclear weapons.. a lot of puckered up assholes during that period.

His statement is unfortunately untrue and part of the Russian narrative (although probably the poster is unaware).

Russia is deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure to freeze out Ukrainian civilians in the hopes they will force their government to capitulate. This is the modern version of carpet bombing cities. Their ballistic missiles are plenty accurate and the only types of weapons that can properly damage hard targets like powerplants.

Ukraine is cold now, and will be colder in a few weeks. By products of power generation is heat, and used for heating homes.

Russians target hospitals, universities, cultural centres and locations with a lot of citizens. They even do double tap attacks (hitting a civilian target like a coffee shop and then 7 minutes later.. once first responders arrived hit the exact same place again).

A random housing block far behind the front might be deviated ordenance.. hitting powerplants with a kinzal missile is not.

The long range missile shackles where just taken off by Biden.

Such a rubbish stance. People want to be usefull. So if the basics are met companies will need to make sure they are not exploitative shitholes like they are now.

Absolutely there is a risk, but this risk is created not by inherent lazyness of people but the shitty/dangerous/ unfulfilling/soul crushing jobs, shitty middle management, asshole atmosphere and the hustle required. You have the effect right but the cause wrong.

This would in practice mean that shitty jobs need to pay a hell of a lot more.. which is good. Then the MBAs can figure out if making the job less of a hellish place can cause them to pay less and where break-even is.

So tax trusts..

 

With all the footage coming out of Ukraine with the fpv drones, the games seen in some episodes used for training make a lot of sense. The game Janeway and seven shooting small maneuverable airborne drones, comes to mind. But also guinan and the shooting colored dots. I have no clue what the games where called, but the prediction is spot on.

 

If we can't come in, you can't come out either

 

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told PBS News on Monday that the agreement with Ukraine to fire into Russia extends wherever Russian forces are attempting to invade.
