Is it any worse than dying for Chevron and ExxonMobil?
U.S. troops haven't been dying for their homeland since at least Vietnam.
This is obviously satire.
there's nothing he could have done that would have resulted in a better outcomes
He could've done a better job trying to keep the lockdownists in check.
It's also judges taking political action again.
The law, as written, does not protect bees. In order for that to change, the legislature should change the law, not the courts "interpreting" bees to be fish.
Even if it were, who cares? Volkswagen was literally founded by Hitler, everyone still drives them.
One thing that people always overlook about chinese manufacturing is that there are many other low cost countries that would gladly take over the role. Indonesia is a big one, Nigeria, hell all of Africa and the middle east basically.
This is not really the case. These countries have trouble even with very low-end manufacturing.
Indonesia (and India, Bangladesh etc) are in the least bad position to compete, but even they just don't have anywhere near the infrastructure required. You can't run a factory if the lights don't stay on, or (except at the very lowest end) if the workers aren't literate, or if you can't get supplies or ship goods out. It took China decades to get out of that position. And that's at least a high-IQ population, this will be worse anywhere else. The Middle East and especially Africa have stability issues on top of that. You can't even begin to build infrastructure if there's a different warlord every 50 miles and they're all constantly fighting each other, destroying everything.
You can't really get foreign investment that way either, in order to start out. Even in the 1980s, if you had permission to build a factory in China, the site would be clear, and there'd be utilities, and the utilities would work. Your average African government will point you at a tribal village, and then when you say "there's a village there", they'll say "they're squatters, you can remove them", and then when you go "WTF" they say "you figure it out". If you actually do remove them it'll turn out they were the ethnic enemies of whatever tribe is in power and your company will be in the news the next week, "Tesla helps warlord do ethnic cleansing in return for a building permit!" And after all that, you still can't build a factory because there's no roads or power.
Add to all of that the fact that there's a whole ecosystem in China now. If you need parts or anything, chances are the factory next door is making them. At worst it'll be the factory in the next town over. Even Western countries have trouble with this, if you need a part in the West, you'll probably need to wait a month for the container ship from China to arrive.
There are no Comanches left to complain.
What makes them think they'll ever even need an abortion?
I wonder if the big guy is still getting his 10%.
There's no reason you couldn't legally "short" a car though, or anything else. In fact it kind of happens all the time, when you order something to be delivered at a later date.
Rich, Influential, Corrupt Shitstains most affected.
Alas, if only. They can pay the higher prices, they'll barely notice. It's the average person who suffers.
Look at me, I'm the internationales Finanzjudentum now!
Le Pen had no chance to win even in a fair election. Except for the Zemmour fans, who aren't enough to make up the difference, there's nobody who'd vote for her in the second round who didn't already vote for her in the first round. She is completely demonized. Everyone else will show up to vote against her. Even people who don't like Macron either still hate him less than her.
Which begs the question, why do they think this is necessary?
I think they're just doing it to show that they can. "Yes, we will meddle with your elections, even though we don't even need to, and you can't do a thing about it, it's 'our' democracy now, nyah nyah."
They don't really believe that. After all, if this stuff really was natural, they wouldn't need to get to the kids in the first place.
If Trump becomes President again in 2024, he'll be 77 years old, which is as old as Biden was when he took office. Trump is a lot more vital than Biden, but he's also a couple of years younger, and Biden was also still pretty vital when he was VP under Obama. It can go very quickly at such an age. I'm imagining Trump winning the primaries and then going downhill immediately afterwards, that would be a disaster.
If you ask me, DeSantis should run. He would probably win in a landslide, and it's certain he won't get dementia in the coming years.
To be fair, what kind of man would even want to work at NPR?
What's next, do bears stop shitting in the woods too?
You oughtn't buy Apple products anyway.
It used to be, 15 years ago, that they were pricey but very good quality. But about since Steve Jobs went, they've remained expensive but turned to utter junk, that breaks as soon as you look at it, and to add insult to injury they go out of their way to stop you from repairing it.
Fuck them even before politics enters into it.
Perhaps they will find some boxes of postal votes, deep in the night after the observers have gone home.
They were more right-wing a decade ago, but Orban basically copied most of their platform when they started becoming more popular. Then Jobbik moved to the left. 'Our Homeland' was started by people who left Jobbik because they weren't right-wing enough anymore.

Why do they always have such stereotypical names?
This is likely mostly black people.
Working-class (as opposed to underclass) black people are actually quite socially conservative. You kind of have to be when you have that underclass right next to you. They all vote D anyway, the unspoken agreement between the Ds and the minorities is that they'll leave the non-whites to live their lives, and not come trans their kids, to reserve that stuff for the whites. Obama being black himself likely raised the turnout.
But if you go and ask them what they think about gay marriage, they'll tell you.
He wrote his own notes on the back and he was referring to those. He obviously has no idea what he was doing.
