While I agree with not supporting absolute dogshit places or companies...ethical consumption in guns and ammo purchase...is not easy. I don't know if BRFC is a good enough reason vs say Confederate poo poo or Tottenkampf stuff to dump a place. That said I'm not going to argue with someone trying to do that (it's not easy....well that Rocket place excluded).

Government might shut down and stimulus could be derailed due to Republican infighting and last-second gotchas being inserted into the bill:

The Josh Hawley/Bernie Sanders crossover event is still one of the weirdest thing....but oddly (and before anyone says it, naively too) when you can bridge a common understanding across that divide...it gives one a little hope for the future.

Granted considering how Sanders and Trump voters overlap in certain areas...a similar overlap with Hawley...isn't too surprising

Also Ron Johnson feels like the name you get using a name generator for corrupt and sleazy politicians. It's like the inverse of Dick Luger, which sounds like a name someone from Europe, writing a fiction piece about a politician who loves guns, would come up with.

Hawley very nakedly wants to run in 2024 and is trying to set himself up as the inheritor of Trump's base, and probably recognizes that bigger checks are the best way to retain the Republican Senate majority.

lol though if he ends up causing a shutdown just before christmas instead

No it’s cool, I always like the insight you get from people who deal with stuff as a day job. I couldn’t remember if GW or Fox was the first on to call them “space marines.”

Cool, it’s nice to find someone interested in this fairly esoteric stuff.

Actually if I remember correctly others predate even GW and there is a question of whether GW should even be able to have it or if it’s a generic term (though I didn’t scan the TSDR, they may have to deal with that with their filings).

Heck, Fox was actually first by a year in 1986, and GW didn’t publish Rogue Trader until 1987. Although Space Marines was probably GW since Colonial Marines is more the name that stuck around.

Nah, it's something like 2,000 now. For a brief stint, it was 1 or 2 Generals, an E-9, and then like 80 or 200 brand new Lieutenants.

Remember how chuds all pointed to Sweden as a beacon of liberty regarding covid induced restrictions? Yeah that poo poo didn't work and now we're getting in line with the rest of the world. The government is legally prohibited to actually enforce a complete lockdown but this is as close as it'll get, introducing a partial mask mandate (really a strongly worded encouragement), shutting down restaurants, demanding all non-essential workers work from home, publicly operated services like museums, libraries, baths etc will close and limiting the number of people allowed in to shops etc.

While the mortality rate is fairly average, the infection rate is among the highest in the EU. It's a bit depressing how we've been wrong about basically everything, like insisting on how herd immunity would protect us in a second wave (its worse now), obliviously devising a national strategy that the regions (who are responsible for providing health care) were neither equipped or prepared to implement and it's biting us in the rear end now.

I guess time will tell what strategy was the right one, the official line right now is that an earlier lock down wouldn't have made a difference, but it's embarrassing how poorly Sweden handled the outbreak especially compared to the other nordic countries.
