  5. i wonder if both ships are under standing orders not to engage any opposing ships or is it captains discretion? also isn't there some kind of bottom line where ships are free to engage if within a certain range? i mean chinese ships aren't exactly allied friendly ships... aren't they supposed to be enemy combatant forces?

  9. the us is an oxymoron country because supposedly have the worlds second highest manufacturing with the help of automation and such but you don't see factory towns or industrial villages like in china. yet we import so much stuff. yet we can still produce so much... it's like a contradiction. but if we were to be like ww2 again all civilian production will be shifted to war production and we would need at least 1 year to retool. but again this is odd because we have a permanent arms industry that's sole purpose was supposed to get us ready for war 24/7... see where im comign from here. it's like this conflicts with that

  10. typically with single moms they have baby daddy drama. they don't have time for you the kids always come first they're not your kids there's so many other reasons why men typically shun single mothers. it's respectable they're doing what they're doing to take care of the kids but again they're not your kids.

  11. According to an article on Investopedia's website, the average profit margin for retail is typically from 0.5 to 3.5% the average profit margin for fast food restaurants is around 5-8%. The average net profit margin for an Hotel business was -2% so as you can see here the industries that hire the most people don't exactly make the most money.

  17. anyone figure out how so many haitians are able to make it to mexico and then the usa. to give you guys a refresher course haiti is next to dominica republic which is next to cuba. it's nowhere near the usa and its not part of the mainland which is how so many from south america were able to make it to the usa vai train/foot but unless you guys are telling me haitians are able to fly to mexico or have access to a armada of vessels to ship themselves from haiti to mexico.... i just don't see how so many of them are all of a sudden pouring in.

  19. actually the us was obligated to fight in the pacific theater... if hitler didn't declare war on the usa, europe was not even part of the deal initially. there were a number of senior officers at the time that believed we should've shifted all forces out of hte atlantic and divert it to the pacific...

  32. in america In 2021, it was estimated that the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was 398.8 in the United States. so if the average worker in america makes $40k this means the run of the mill ceo makes $15.9 million dollars a year. in europe (i'll just use the UK for example) that's 67: 1 so same example. $40k for average worker ceo makes $2.68 million dollars. from the outside the uk one looks more fair. us one looks more absurd. but at the end of the day how much value do you bring to your company. basically do you bring in the sales/dough. if you bring in the sales/dough you are basically treated like a god.

  33. long story short for most of human history we wer agrarian based. agriculture. more kids you have more free labor. hence why people back in the day excluding child mortality reasons would have 4+ kids .... for help around the farm. now we're a service base economy and urbanized... you have to pay for all the kids and unless you making bank you are going to get hammered.

  37. basically these revenge fantasties against the rich are simple minded and never factor in that with the access to money these people have they have access to security and safety measures that override our numbers advantage. just imagine a tank fighting 200 people... this is the comparison

  44. sorry but the us thirst for war from korea and onward have basically put in peoples midns that it's all bankers wars, wars for profit, and basically has little or if anything to do with our national security. major general smedley butler already said that war was a racket and this was in his time... he served in he fought in the Philippine–American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Mexican Revolution, and World War I. so he got street creds to say something like that. it 's true too.

  45. chinatowns have outlived their original purpose. they were originally supposed to be a stepping stone for chinese immigrants to get acclimated to the usa and then from there they move on to their next home or career. but with chinese immigrants being so well educated now they don't really even need chinatowns anymore.
