    You have such a simplistic view of this it's laughable. I know you won't, but try reading:

    UA is one of those people who watches "Watchmen" and looks at Rorschach, and thinks "Yes!! There's a man who really stands for something!! :happytears: :salute:" oblivious to Alan Moore giving Ayn Rand the finger with the cow insemination glove on.

    If you're too fucking lazy, ignorant, or so deliberately misleading as to put a widely publicized and easily discoverable mistake as the very first high ticket item on your list then why the hell should anyone else go through the rest for you?

    Ughhhh. It's getting so discouraging reading the news. Life in MAGA America, am I right? It's like people feel like emboldened to be their worst selves. Selfishness has always been a virtue in the US, but now it's permeated...everywhere.

    I hope you guys don't mind diseases running rampant, because the "efficiency" department of our government has decided that we don't need 50% of that staff.
    Good thing there's no COVID, no H5N1, and no upcoming emergent pandemics that might kill millions more of us.

    CDC's "disease detectives" halved as part of DOGE cuts at health agencies

    And the hits just keep on coming! Who needs affordable housing? No one!

    HUD employees are bracing for what they hear will be 'drastic' staff cuts

    So, we have the NOAA, NASA, HUD, the CDC, the Department of Education, all being gutted or eliminated by executive fiat even as courts rule many of these things simply can't be done, but federal employees are being fired or layed off by the thousands, even though most of these agencies actually return more revenue than they cost to operate. This isn't about efficiency, it's about Project 2025, and Trump's Jesus Gooners turning the country into a shithole theocracy and feudal nightmare.

    Not that the CIA would really give a fuck or has had it stop them in the past, but they shouldn't be operating in domestic affairs nor should we give them passes for them to exploit... fuck :sigh:

    It's less of a pass for domestic abuse and more of a "if you're going to fuck over people's lives, maybe fuck over some rich asshole's life for once instead of the lives of poor people in other countries" kind of "I won't tell if you won't" situation.

    If you feel that you do not know how to avoid being a complete asshole without a set of detailed instructions, this might not be the right site for you.

    Somebody contact the Broccolis, there's your fucking plot for the next Bond movie. A Bezos-like character decides that he's desperate to beat Elmo to the Moon, Mars, or asteroid mining, so he hires unemployed US nuke scientists to build him weapons to not only take out Elmo's operations, but also to power a Project Orion craft so that even if Elmo gets something off the ground first, Bezos-like can beat him to the goal.
