Shalebridge Cradle posted:Did you ever hear the joke that if the US wanted to bankrupt the Soviets we could just give them an aircraft carrier. I don't think that it's controversial to say that during the Cold War the US had the USSR beat for consumer goods. The US sustained that and was able to output defense spending to match the USSR. On the other hand the USSR totally mismanaged the command economy and pushed production to state demands which included defense aspects while their consumer economy suffered.

Joementum posted:Weiner's book "Enemies" goes into how the FBI hosed up the 9/11 intelligence by ignoring a field agent who had one of the hijacker's laptop's in her possession for months. Also a lot of fun stuff about the Hoover era, like when he invited Nixon over for dinner and they ate steak in a room with lava lamps and beads because J. Edgar want to understand the yout's. Hehe, weiner

eonwe posted:lol trump is like the old people in the small town I grew up in who sit in Dairy Queen for breakfast while smoking and having them turn on fox news That reminds me. I understand why tiny towns have those gas stations where you have a tiny diner area where you can eat your gas station sandwiches, but I will never understand why people do that in major metropolitan areas. Get your sandwich and go somewhere else, you can do that, you don't have to sit in the gas station and reading magazines like a fat weirdo

I did a thing posted:I'll need to check each of those out. Less PMCs, more "give a ton of guns to local thugs". Check out their operations in Chad where they depopulated villages to build the pipeline, then reneged on paying royalties to the government. I guess there wasn't time to ask about that at the confirmation hearing.

tenderjerk posted:drat dude, hatred of the nebulous "other" is more important than "staying alive" NPR had a story last week talking to people in Strong, Kansas who had relied on federal government grants to build their $6M water treatment plant for their town of less than 500, but they were okay with that program and all of the others that directly help their town being cut if it meant more money to keep out "illegals"

Ok that I can agree with. I am not going to defend the USSR wrt consumer goods because seriously lol. But the idea that they are somehow uniquely stupid when it comes to defense spending is just laughable on its face.

On top of doing all that he went skiing with his family one weekend while healthcare fell apart, and Trump was still pissed at him.

Iron Crowned posted:Did you figure out why people do it? well, i was born there and i got the hell out as soon as i could. it took a lot of student loan debt tho. growing up there is why I'm sympathetic toward rural whites. Generally speaking there is a lot of fear about providing for your family and not having a job. its no excuse for voting for a racist pissbaby, but I do understand the fear. a lot of people in the town I grew up in legitimately thought he was going to reopen the broom factory or ladder factory or whatever the gently caress it was before it became rusted out sheet metal

Fox & Friends is like remedial Fox News. Or babby's first Fox News.
