The problems the US faces don’t die with him.

Unless you use that 6 seconds to work with the ref to rewrite the rules of the game such that passing the ball to a second quarterback resets the time, along with a bunch of other rule changes.

Yeah, of course. But only one one can best.

Peaceful protests are vulnerable to being incited to violence.

And in late stage capitalism, government is only listening to capital holders. Money speaks way louder to capital holders than the inconvenience of a protest.

General strike is way more effective

The problem isn’t the student loans per se, its that the principle has been paid off many times over and somehow moat people own many times more in interest.

Forgiving imaginary debt is not the same as paying off someones bad debt.

I think Steven Miller is pulling a lot of the strings.

Early on in the presidency he was reported as the guy basically first and last to be with trump each day.

But in your scenario, that was exactly where you needed a new cable, even though you had the right one before then.

So if your monitor came with 2 cables and your gpu came with 2 cables, thats 4 cables instead of 3.

That is such a huge waste of material.

When a monitor supports both display port and hdmi port, they need to supply 2 6 foot cables just in case? And what happens when 6ft isn’t enough for a specific situation. You need to then buy an extra one just in case?

Also, when buying replacements, the cables are totally unnecessary.

We have a bad enough problem with E waste. Making it worse for the sake of the tiniest convenience for the average consumer is ridiculous.

I think it has a lot more to do with the urban / rural political divide. And the fact that the cities are where political unrest will begin and take root.

They’re trying to stifle it before it gets bad, or use any violence as an excuse to increase the pressure.

Also, it helps normalize having soldiers in the streets , so citizens put up with it as a new way of living.
