This isn’t exactly true. The British were well aware of the Manhattan Project- indeed, the whole thing began as the British Tube Alloys project before they ran out of money and convinced the Americans to take it on, with the British delegation taking prominent roles.

Britain also knew that the bomb was ready for use as the US didn’t have any bomb bay mounts strong enough to hold the weight, and they had to ask the RAF to supply a small number of mounts that had been designed for Barnes-Wallace’s 10,000kg earthquake bombs.

Or we could stop gamifying slaughter and stop giving soldiers medals, and use the money to pay for healthcare.

It was getting attention in 2018 too. John Oliver even did an episode about it. People just don’t care as long as it isn’t them.

Zorro’s Black Whip beats Hunger Games by 68 years. And we live in a universe where the Tomb Raider and Alien films exist, as well as Elektra, Foxy Brown, and yes even Catwoman.

Don’t trust actors, especially when they are selling something.

The US is a grand experiment in stunting the development of children, then handing them guns, money and the reins of power.

More like political ambition. I’ll never understand a country that elects its prosecutors. Madness.

Why are egg prices high? A Bird flu epidemic that has run since 2022.

Trump’s DOGE fired several key USDA officials working on containing the bird flu outbreak. So that’s directly going to increase egg prices. It’s also going to reduce the efficiency of the only process that’s going to reduce egg prices - getting the bird flu epidemic under control.

To fill the shortfall, eggs would usually be imported from Canada. Trump started a trade war with Canada. Again that’s going to directly increase prices.

The price of eggs can’t be reduced by economic policy, only by agricultural policies. But we also know from his choice of Health Secretary how much Trump values vaccines.

On the other hand, Trump’s economic policies will increase the price of eggs and prolong the effects.

So Trump wandered into a house fire that was already burning, shot himself in the foot, then opened fire on firemen and paramedics attempting to rescue him. And the American consumer is meanwhile trapped upstairs.
