Random Stranger posted:Can I take a moment to complain about Trump's order to reject any attempt to block the construction of mines on the moon from the end of the last thread? Because despite what scifi authors like to talk about, the moon's composition makes it a pretty bad choice for space mining. Most wannabe space miners look more to asteroids where there's a good selection of metallic ones that are easier to get to with way more payoff. The moon sucks it's all the worst rocks from Earth smooshed up into a big ball. It's not even the coolest moon. Just kidding the moon is cool even if it doesn't have much metal.

CRISPYBABY posted:Political neutrality is such horseshit. Imagine looking at the US and going "yeah I'm the most influential public figure of the last two decades, you know what I should do/say? Nothing, wouldn't wanna affect anything, that would be terrible." This is ideologically sound though, from the neoliberal perspective that politics is illegitimate and "the market" is the only proper organizer of society.

Yeah, whenever you want more labor the first thing you do is reduce pay. This is administrative malpractice. These people are idiots. They're so lucky the only disasters they faced in their first three years were self-inflicted.

Catalyst-proof posted:Why is it a good thing that the oil cartel is cutting production? Anything that keeps oil in the ground is good news. If we ground up nuclear waste and injected it into virgin oil reserves that would be a good thing. If we bombed oil pumps both foreign and domestic that would also be a good thing.

cr0y posted:I'm in Pittsburgh. At dawn we march west for glory! Probably not, it's only a few months until a historically unpopular incumbent president runs face first into a 10% unemployment buzzsaw in November. If the economic indicators are as bad as they look Trump has like single digit chances to stay in office. I know people will leap at the opportunity to say actually electoralism is dead or Biden is a walking corpse but if we're facing the worst unemployment since 1930 I don't think any incumbent could reasonably win. I know the scale of large numbers is tough to get your head around but they just passed a stimulus package worth double the stimulus in 2008 in real terms. And employment is still in free fall. Six million people lost their jobs just last week. 29% of renters failed to make rent in the first three days of April. The economy is taking a world-historic poo poo. A lot of people hurting bad by November isn't something to celebrate but it makes Trump's re-election very hard to fit into a realistic narrative. There were electoral models that got the first wave of UI claims two weeks ago and started predicting Trump would get -440 electoral votes.

This is one of the weirdest parts of this whole experience. I know theoretically there are people pulling back to back 24 hour shifts but things are totally quiet for me. I check my email, manage my job, and wonder whether that thing I read on the news last week about enormous shortages and mass graves is getting any better or still going.

Missing Donut posted:That map is amazing. In context for you non-Wisconsinites, normally the three counties including Oshkosh, Green Bay, and the one in between are R. The southwest of the state is usually R (in bad years, just the county including Madison and the two directly south go D). The Eau Claire-La Crosse corridor always feels close but often slightly conservative and to see that much blue is interesting. From my experience the Eau Claire-La Crosse area is increasingly economically centered on the health care industry (Mayo Clinic and Epic both employ a lot of people) and therefore is one of the few places in the state that still draws in young professionals. P. much everyone I knew in La Crosse worked in service or health care or education. (for health care) Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Apr 14, 2020 |

WOWEE ZOWEE posted:We can note Truman firing MacArthur was a good thing, but were we actually right in supporting Rhee in South Korea in the first place? The Koreans were aiming for independence with the PRK but the USSR and US mutually crushed any hope of that, leading to the ongoing division of the peninsula today. There's really no point in entertaining this line of thinking. What would the PRK have looked like 50 years down the road? South Korea didn't look like the giant success story it has become until more than 40 years after the war.

The Pussy Boss posted:It's adorable seeing people posting about Joe Biden's extremely progressive agenda and how he's going to give us all healthcare, make it easier to declare bankruptcy, forgive student debt, cut emissions, and all the rest of it. Joe Biden is the candidate who's bankrolled and supported by the billionaire donors and party insiders and corporate media who have united behind him precisely to stop all those things from happening. He opposes all those things. The whole point of his candidacy is to prevent them from happening. People talking about his Very Serious Policy Proposals do not understand how political power works in this country, and are extremely gullible.
