It's gonna be another "Ok, you guys have worked hard enough for today. Go home and we'll finish counting."

Our boy Larry The Egged is going to come out of the gate real strong, but somewhere between the hours of 10PM and 4AM PST, statistically impossible but miraculous discontinuities will manifest in Tupac Fanboi's tally.

If anyone manages to get a hold of the data, we'll be treated to a lovely side of Benford's Law irregularities so massive that they'll put Iran and North Korea to shame.

Anyone have any white pills for me?

The biggest reason many troop commanders on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan were concerned about civilian casualties is because it could instantaneously reverse legitimacy for whole regions that had taken years to build up. You're only a bridge builder when you've built 100 bridges. But you suck one cock and suddenly your a cocksucker. You kill one baby, and suddenly you're a baby killer.

Makes you wonder if the astronomical civilian casualties of Obama's drone strikes were all that accidental after all.

Put it like this:

When autists on Reddit bought shitloads of Gamestop stocks, the government cared, broke the law, then changed the law, then blackmailed a company into violating it's own contracts with it's consumers. They did it within 24-72 hours.

When the stock-market shuttered in 2020 after Covid started scaring the shit out of governments internationally, the largest investment banks on Earth got over 3 trillion dollars in loans. Again, less than a week. No congressional over-sight. Not even a directive from Trump.

How long did it take you to get a "stimulus check"?

How long did it take for Obama to stop blasting kids?

If the government didn't respond, then it didn't fucking care.
