Japan has successfully achieved a trickle-down economy.

Why would that be better than increasing peace to begin with? Climate refugeeism is real.

Try googling "bluetti battery power station" dumbfuck

Nobody has that, which is why so many potential voters stay home.

Yeah, stupid people really believe that, but I don't see them lining up to change jizz soaked sheets and pick vegetables.

Rapeublicans believe it's OK to have a president who raped children as young as the age of 8.

Yes, it is always very much about control with our government, this is where you can legitimately bothsides because they are both authoritarian. That's why we're fucked, because it's how we came to this pass. It wasn't Republicans insisting that we be mass-surveilled and Democrats insisting that we not be, it was Rs saying let's do this and Ds saying well how much of this can we do and how should we do it? Womp fucking womp. Now the very idea that we should have privacy is equivalent in some "minds" with terr[or]ism. Orwell wept.

Agreed, but they would have to contract it out, there's no competence for that on the average staff. Logically this might be handled at the party level, especially in the case of Republicans, who have been very successful with unified messaging.

Well, if it happens, I hope they build more GAZ 66s.

Our drunken ancestors had little access to spirits until fairly recently and only a few people had figured out how to make beers over about 5% ABV so it really depends on what time period you're talking about. Americans drank about four times as much before prohibition as they do now, so there's that.

There is almost nowhere you can smoke cannabis publicly, so statistically no one is going out to smoke weed at an establishment. Therefore we can compare to drinking at home. I buy 12 packs of reasonably high test beer for around $20. Two of those is generally plenty. You can easily spend more than $4 a day on cannabis without even getting into the top shelf stuff. Hell, most smokers can do that even with $8 eighths.

Cannabis is taking over because it's less harmful in every way than alcohol.

The emergency is that they cannot produce enough fuel for the vehicles they have. The only non-drone vehicles they really need to produce more of are bombers, since Ukraine has blown up some of the few they have left, and they cannot really produce those either either. (They can make a few a year, maybe.) Without Ukraine, Russia's manufacturing capability was already limited. It was an important center for military vehicle production for the USSR.

You couldn't be more wrong overall if you used a LLM to generate your answer. Not only was it a sodium battery power station, but diesel is fuel oil, it's fundamentally different from gasoline, as in it's a different fraction of the crude.

The appeal to popularity is a logical fallacy. I stopped reading there, thanks.

Spoken like a typical coward.

So was the bluetti power station the guy shot up which turned into a pyrotechnics show secretly using a lithium battery?

Russia can't do it because they're broke. Even if they could they would have to build something with soviet technology at this point because they can't get modern components in quantity. And if they could, it would be seconds from China. While I think air cooled diesels are neat, they aren't ideal from an emissions standpoint...
