That must be one incredible basement!

They don't have to pay for it and in a rapidly aging country with a very low birth rate they may not have enough people of military age to put together an army at this point.

Taiwan, the island occupied by Japan during the war then the nationalists ran off to it and declared themselves independent because Mao didn't have a navy? Imagine if the republicans ran off to Hawaii and declared independence then China formed a military alliance with them.

Sorry but based on the Nippon Steel controversy we cannot trust Japan with a steel company so therefore we cannot trust them with advanced missile tech.

So his plan is to get the rest of the world off of the dollar asap.

His only tool seems to be tariffs. It is his "hammer" and everything looks like a nail to him. He doesn't care how trade wars hit the poor and middle class the hardest and jack up the cost of living. It is bad enough that they are jacking up the cost of chinese ev cars while at the same time saying we need to go to ev cars by 2035.

0-255 was good enough for me an my grandpappy.

Why do people feel the need to have a $60K+ massive behemoth? 99% of the time if I glance in the bed it is spotless. It is probably only used for commuting and carrying groceries. It might haul a load of mulch once a year. The things are so high that if they hit a car they are going to ride up over the hood and crush you. At least my state finally got its act together and banned those goddamn frontend lifted trucks that made it impossible to see anything within 50 ft and guaranteed a deadly collision. Now I know someone will say "But I need it for my building job/farm/etc", you are the exception, the vast majority sold are not being used for that.

"reasoning that these vehicles are safer for drivers in the event of a crash" Sounds like an arms race. Soon we will be driving armored personnel carriers.

It is bad enough they make them with ridiculously loud exhausts as bad as muscle cars and fart exhausts. Electric cars and trucks quieting everything can't come fast enough.

Being able to communicate to other people is sort of an important thing that could feel frustrating.

"I must destroy anything that preceded by religious obsession". So ISIS aren't the only barbarians.

People aren't good with small talk and stuff like this is one of the few things you'd be likely to have in common.

You can always find someone on a social media site who actually holds that belief
