Reminds me that someone posted a 1950s "the future of travel" video, and it was all retro futuristic cars doing 200 mph on almost totally empty highways.

But don't you know capitalism will incentivize pharmaceutical companies to step up production to match demand, just gotta let the invisible hand of the market do its work.

One major issue for Sledder here is that since Tesla started Cybertruck deliveries, the starting price for his vehicle has significantly fallen...That further lowers the starting price to $70,500.

My man found out the hard way about depreciation. All my life people have said never to buy a new car because it loses 20% of its value the moment you drive it off the lot. If you really want to drive new cars the best way to do it is lease and change every couple of years (this is still not financially sound, just better than buying new).

People, I really don't think the foia people talk to the NSA database people like "hey we got this sweet tip on a tiny online leftist forum!" The truth is just that as big as we seem to ourselves we just aren't big enough and aren't active enough in meat space to warrant the attention.

Yet? Perhaps.

I appreciate that when the writers learned that they had a right wing fan base, they discarded subtlety and went hard in the paint to hammer into their heads that the nazis are the bad guys. Unfortunately the show was already running out of steam at that point and it showed the limits of how lib the writers are.

from natopedia

Lucy E. Parsons (c. 1851 – 1942) was an American social anarchist and later anarcho-communist

She was a founding member of the Industrial Workers of the World and edited radical newspapers.

Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, Parsons moved towards communism. She became a notorious political figure and Chicago police attempted for decades to stop her speaking publicly.

Every day I learn about a new cool person from history, it never stops.

In the Soviet Union the Great Purge lasted less than a year, but we've been doing the equivalent for like forty.
