Comment scourge (Score 2) 35

There is no story about ruzzians that I do not find disgusting, the only good ruzzian is a dead ruzzian. Trump believing that he can negotiate a business deal with them, involving Exxon Mobile buying the rights to some oil fields for a bargain and putin caring about doing business is cute. putin has Trump and all other Americans figured out. Americans want to do busuness, rhey are all about making money. Certainly it seems to be a rational thing to do. Except putin doesn't care about making money, to him money is not made in business deals, it is taken from whoever makes it, he just takes it, business is for chumps.

putin looks at Trump and the rest of them and understands how to manipulate them easily to achieve his own goals, which are not business goals. putin wants Ukraine, the whole thing and should Ukraine fall he wants the rest of Europe, all of it.

Europeans don't get it but really it shouldn't be that difficult. There is another force they are familiar with tbat has the same goal of world domination - islam. The muslim brotherhood and putin are really very similar concepts. Both want to dominate, both use the weaknesses of democracies and the business approach as jiujitsu of sorts against the West. The West does not understand this because it cannot wrap its head around such concepts, it makes no sense to the Western sensibilities, the West is too rational but also short sighted and too full of itself. The West cannot imagine being outplayed by ruzzians or the islamists. The West is wrong on all counts in this game, it does not recognize its own shortsightedness and its own narcissism.

ruzzians are a scourge, a plague, so are islamists. The West is not ready for this war.

Certain Caribbean fruits contain a neurotoxin annonacin which has a causal connection to a form of Parkinson and related diseases. A two decade long study was the latest to conclude that this July.

I agree it's as idiotic to drink a herbal tea based on a toxic plant as it is to allow toxins in a drinking water.

Comment Re: So the person of the year (Score 1) 54

People who work for me are building what I am telling them and they are getting paid by our clients. They can definotely choose to do what I chose back in 2009, stop getting paid and work for themselves, all they have to do for that would be the same thing I did, save for a few years prior to that and live on savings while building their own thing. Why should anyone else pay them to do what they want without their ideas being actually useful to anyone? That is what governments do now, they tax everyone to subsidise government employees salaries and pensions. I would rather pay for services that I choose myself than have money taken from me by a force that I never chose myself (not once) and have that force spend my money on things I am opposed.

Sitting in a cafe in the city of Mykolaiv right now, everything runs on generators. Earlier today, around 7:45 local time a few shahed drones flew over the city, this was after a lqrge attack from about 6 hours prior. Multiple energy distribution systems were hit in multiple regions. There were people killed, some drones hit homes, there were myltiple kinjal (dagger) missiles launched from mig-31 platforms. I crossed the border to Ukraine over 2 weeks ago, spent a week in Kiev, a day in Lviv, a day in Odessa, etc. Everywhere there are issues with energy distribution. Where I am now there are issues with watwr as well of course. People keep going because tbat is what people do, nobody here wants to give up anything to ruzzia, they want to stop the war in a way that prevents future attacs from the scourge that is ruzzia. As to this lawsuit, it is completely justified but it is not enough. Europe is giving ruzzia more money every year in oil and purchases than Europe spends on this war, given tbat Ukraine is protecting Europe from putin taking this war further west, I find this behaviour atrocious.

At this point, he's merely a useful idiot for the Project 2025 people. Their idea of economic growth is their investments grow. And they take particular care to feed la Presidenta a fair proportion of social stupidity orders to keep the Maggots worrying about who is using the "wrong" bathrooms than who is stealing them blind. They mask these stupid orders in "morality" when actually caring about people is not on their agenda.

"It's gun control all over again and the answer is NOT to withhold capability from people, it's to empower good actors to defend against the bad ones and distribute power widely to keep central authorities in check."

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (as a tag on one of their graphs): U.S. gun homicide rates exceed total homicide rates in high-income OECD countries.

So how's arming everyone and their uncle's dog working out for you, eh?
