  12. so for every military innovation there eventually is a counter . so hopefully ukraine can continue to be successful. cutting off russian oil exports is a big bonus for ukraine. 3 million barrels/ day is at least 150 million dollars/ day. it also seems to me they don't use starlink for communication with these drones as spacex cut off starlink in the crimean area . they say they don't want to be used as a war machine. so i know usa provided ukraine with some satelite equipment . they must be using other satelites for this. russia will ,likely start by escorting their tankers with warships but then they become a target as well. if ukraine could get some titanium plate to put on the tops of the drones that could make them resistant to small arms fire from russian ships. next ukraine will be sending subs like the narco subs. if they can get 10 feet deep that is enough water to make small arms ineffective.

  14. are you going to go out in the fields and pick lettuce or strawberries or whatever? you won't do it for any amount . most americans are overweight to obese. bending down picking produce will give them all back problems and comp claims would skyrocket. and everyone is greedy especially consumers. it's human nature so do give me this greedy companies bull. wages have gone way up since covid especially at the low end. this has been one of the components of inflation which the voters seem to think is crazy high when it is now about 3 %. and the prices in stores are high but if inflation goes to zero prices stay the same. get used to it.

  16.  @jackeugene4018  well elon is building robots that are going to replace tons of working class workers in warehouses and factories. it's coming. and he is going to run some efficiency commission that will slash govt jobs so there will be plenty of workers who need jobs. and the new president is all for it.

  17.  @SquashFactor  well the unions are screwing up the ports. the east coast strike is not over. they are hell bent on preventing any automation which is luddite thinking. why does trucker picking up a load have to present paperwork to some guy who then has to find another guy top go find the container then get a 3rd guy to bring it to the gate so the trucker can get loaded. in the meantime the trucker is losing money waiting for hours to get his load.? on the west coast they automated that so the information gets transferred in seconds and the trucks get loaded way faster. so they lost 800 useless jobs of guys just slowing everything down

  18. well the nato consumer countries are buying equipment from the producers so i don't really see much issue

  19. this is false. only 10% of cobalt is mined by individuals. the rest is done with machines. and those " children" would be starving if they weren't mining.

  20. except certain useless politicians then go back home and pass draconian laws about your stove or furnace banning natural gas like in ny state . no joke.

  21.  @mobiusflammel9372  then there are people like me who simply don't care about the future generations and also live where climate change has been beneficial. so i want more warming not less.

  22. then the next guy offers more and your worker jumps ship. some people move around every 6 months. by the time they know the job they leave. and they don't say anything till they tell you i'm leaving.

  23. oh but socialism is so great for the poor . too bad it just makes everyone poor except the leaders. yup a corrupt democracy was way better , but i guess the workers decided they want a paradise so voted for it. then chavez became a dictator. seams all communists / socialists end up doing that. they won't give up control.

  24. back in the days of ghengis khan it was no big deal to kill millions of people. sometimes one wishes that those kinds of lessons can't be taught anymore.

  29. you forgot a big spoiler was ross perot who took 19% of the vote. so george bush sr lost and we got clinton. had perot not run bush sr would have been in for a second term. he, unlike his son , was smart and knew that he needed to leave sadam in iraq to control the place.
