Penisaurus Sex posted:A whiff of grapeshot combined with a strong state, a much more militaristic outlook on life, and a wounded revanchist conservative population? I don't think you have to squint too hard to see that in a future America. Even a future of ten years. They'll lose a war against Mexico who only has DJI Mavics, Ukrainian Javelins, and Great Wall Motors pickup trucks.

mastershakeman posted:Govt regs changed a while ago and drove the small farmers out of business. You have to have a climate controlled storage facility for them now instead of just piling them up in a big barn It's the entire point. Deliberately forcing production to be more capital intensive at the expense of the individual (businesses) either forces them out of the business or enriches the supplier of the capital and the financier who supplies the loans for the purchase of said capital.

Then when they graduate they're forced into conscription with way fewer benefits or pay than a regular enlisted soldier. peasant soldiery for the 21st century with american characteristics

meanolmrcloud posted:alright, I’ll bite. where is all this cash coming from? is it just mountains of debt being shoveled into the furnace? For Europe, it's the one-two punch of them sanctioning their main supplier of energy and low value commodities (Russia) and the US draining industrial investment from Europe to the US (IRA). This one-two punch is also happening to the Asian vassals of the US. The dynamic this time however is the Asian vassals destroying their exports to China while simultaneously being forced to invest in US facilities. In other words, it's the US draining their allies dry to sustain them vampire-like.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:Stupid, in terms of the needs of the average consumer, but extremely smart for profit. The fact that they're bringing back a non-premium-consumer-level EV is, frankly, kind of shocking. I wonder what their rationale is. Building only premium consumer EVs means that BYD, SAIC, Geely, etc. snap up the rest of the world with affordable average joe EVs.

Like I vote for/support additional taxes for public works/education/etc but like realistically I'm accutely aware my money is just going to grift. It's hard to square the circle of wanting the gov to fund more public transport for example while also knowing that like a mile of lightrail costs 10 bajillion dollars and is never going to meaningfully advance as a project. It is a stark reality that extra funds/taxes do often just go to stupid poo poo like police departments that are already overbloated. bourgeois government allocates resources on behalf of the bourgeois simple as
