Those cards would be worth far more than the data at the moment.

Do you actually know any Iranians?
The majority of them hate the regime and want it to fall, but the loudest voice online is the regime because not only do they commit a lot of resources to spreading propaganda around the world, they also suppress the voices of ordinary people so it's more difficult for them to speak out.

Biden didn't release them in 4 years, what makes you think Kamala would have?
If they were as damaging to Trump as people claim, surely Biden could have released them before the election?

Reliability does not negate repairability...
Batteries will always degrade and need replacing, unless you intend to replace the entire unit when the battery degrades.
Physical damage (eg smashed screen, spillages in keyboard etc) can always occur irrespective of how reliable a device is under normal usage etc.

1. Propagandize on teh intarwebs to get the useful idiots baying in the wrong direction. Including demonizing the wrong 1%.
2. Collect kompromat to control politicians. If none is available, have a program to create some. (RELEASE THE EPSTIEN FILES.)
3. Assymetric warfare, use swarms of cheap drones s while the enemy uses 1 million dollar missiles to try to stop them.
4. sabotage, particularly cyber and ecoonomic .
5. Don't be a blundering loudmouth. Diplomacy has a much greater ROI. Needing to blow things up is a failure.
0. Make sure you've got people on the inside working in your interests instead of those of their own nation.

Looks like the ADE 651 got a quantum upgrade.


Kind of like how in WWII the allies promoted the idea that carrots help with your night vision to obfuscate the fact that they had RADAR to explain away how their night fighters kept shooting down German planes. Even Bugs Bunny played his patriotic part for the war effort.

Everything in the visible universe is subject to lunar gravity now. That's how gravity works.

That's damn well not how they're selling it!

Either you lose $200 billion now, or you lose your lives in a few years.
The IR has been actively building missiles, developing better ones and funding various terrorist groups around the world while making money selling oil.
They are stronger now than they were 20 years ago. They openly call for the complete destruction of Israel, and they call the US "The great satan". If they had the capability to destroy Israel and the US right now then they absolutely would, if they ever got that capability in the future they wouldn't hesitate to use it.

The majority of the Iranian population HATE this regime. They also know that this regime is ruthless and will not hesitate to kill, and yet thousands of them stood up against it in january and lost their lives.

The sooner the IR is taken out the better for everyone, $200 billion this year, $400 billion next year, $1 trillion in 2 years time, or in 3 years it's too late and they take you out instead. And unlike western governments, the IR will not hesitate if they have the capability.

The market plunging 2.5% is a 2.5% drop...
But Linux going from 2.5 to 5% is a doubling of linux market share, even if it is only 2.5% of the overall market.

Hence the right to work remotely unless they can justify you being in a specific location.

This would put the burden of proof on them to prove why you can't do the job remotely. Then the additional costs and relocation assistance would apply.

Well if they buy the nearby buildings and offer you a decent deal on rent then it's not the employee paying, as they'd still need to pay rent somewhere else and would likely be paying a higher rent.

This is exactly what's needed for jobs which aren't flexible on location - keep employees nearby so they don't have to waste time & money commuting. It would also force a redesign of cities so instead of clumping all the workplaces together with no housing for miles around, things would be intermixed.

If you could transplant your brain into a younger body, why a clone?
Surely you'd pick a better body if you could? One that's taller, better looking, stronger, not suffering from any genetic risk factors you might have etc.

Most of the warmongering kings cannot be voted away.
The current Iranian regime has long been a problem. Their goal has always been to destroy Israel and western countries, they just aren't strong enough to do so. If the IR had the capability to destroy Israel or the US today they would absolutely do it - it's literally baked right into their core ideology.
If you left them alone they wouldn't suddenly become peaceful, they will spend the time building strength while also funding deniable proxy wars until they're strong enough to destroy their enemies completely.
