Most countries don't have nuclear weapons and seem to be doing okay.
Ukraine, for example. A nuclear state attacked them, and Ukraine is winning. Of course Russia didn't nuke Ukraine, because that would be suicide. Similarly, if Ukraine had kept and maintained its nuclear weapons, it wouldn't have used them, because that would have been suicide.
I was thinking mostly of the naval vessels, but yeah, Ukraine has allies with both. Or, is a vassal to countries with both, depending on how you want to look at it.
because unless a country needs nuclear for some other reason (primarily to keep nuclear weapons and naval vessels around),
So, basically, all of them, unless they want to be vassals of those who do have those.
Yes. Everyone who thinks it's great spending other people's money should remember you are other people too.

Thank goodness that nobody in the tech sector can live and work remotely! They'll never be able to flee, bwah ha ha!

Yes, exactly.
They never stop with "billionaires". That's not where the money is, not enough of it. It's going to be you; your house, your 401K, etc.
"That's one for you, nineteen for me
Why?
Even if you could do that effectively, wouldn't that further entrench the idea that The People are the government's bitch
... then that's probably as close to self correcting as you're going to get.
There is actually a lot of interest in peptides and HRT. And companies posting about it is in fact one of the sources of information. As are people replying to said companies, asking questions, calling BS on their claims, asking for sources, etc.
If we're going to be clear, "capitalism" doesn't have a clear definition. It's used differently in different contexts, often with the meaning of "not communism."
Yeah, and if I'm not mistaken, the term was coined by the communists. Problematic, that.
Yeah, you shouldn't let LLM's do these things, lol
LLM's are like idiot savants - they can definitely be useful. You don't want to give them the launch codes though
