Quick aside from the war, US reshoring is going about as well as expected. "Intel Foundry layoffs could impact 'more than 10,000' factory workers — one fifth of employees affected by 'enormous cutback'"

There goes the US manned space program, I guess? What else is there, besides Boeing's crap bucket that ended up stranding astronauts on the ISS for 9 months?
Edit: Apparently we're still using Soyuz, lmao. Decades-old communist technology is still doing laps around privatized space flight.
I can't tell if either there's too much of a critical mass of disgust against Israel that it broke the consent manufacturing machine (doubtful ), or if they haven't really spun it up for whatever reason.
I mean, I didn't even see it on r/all of today, like they didn't even bother turning on the hasbara botnet for this??
My initial thought is that it's fairly likely that the shooter is also Israeli
Edit: Looks like they have a suspect https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/shooting-dc-jewish-museum-rcna208427
Even worse (but funnier), said doofuses are rapidly being replaced with AI on both ends of the slop pipe, so it will soon be, if it's not already, AI models spitting out reviews for books written by AI models.
Imagine, an entire industry worth millions (billions?) of dollars in political bribes being laundered behind a thin facade of AI slop regurgitating itself over and over
Another day, another feckless loser launching their ActBlue spam campaign of asking me for $10 (a bold step up from their usual ask of $5) to "send a message that Democrats will not tolerate authoritarian behavior."
I've been getting texted pretty much every 1-2 days, each day a new campaign, for the past month, so it must be a profitable grift, probably lots of donations flying in from liberals scared away from brunch at the moment. It's unfortunate that I can't even take any pleasure in cussing them out, because I know no real human is behind the mountains of text they've been spewing out.
Talk shit, get lit
Really feels like we're in a situation where, given these assumptions:
Iran commits to their stated war goal of punishing Israel until they dare to never strike Iran ever again.
Iran has sufficient capabilities and internal popular support to do such. (And every analysis I've seen suggests they likely do on both counts.)
Then one of these two outcomes must occur:
Either, the US enters the war, and Iran's retaliatory strikes on oil infrastructure and trade routes absolutely fuck the world economy, and have a serious possibility of triggering WW3.
Or, the US doesn't enter the war with Iran, and Israel likely loses an attrition war against Iran. I dont really see how this doesn't eventually lead to the collapse of Israel.
That second option comes with the scary question of "will Israel resort to using its nukes?" So I guess that's another route to WW3.
Idk, I'm no expert and I'm open to hearing other likely ways for this to play out, but this is where my head is at given all the information I've been absorbing so far.
