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.

They have no problem taking out loans on unrealized assets so if they are worth it to the banks, they can pay taxes on them.
Be careful of this kind of rhetoric.

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.

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.

Remote work may be giving older workers a leg up, to some extent.
Older workers are usually less able to move for a job, and less likely to want to move. They are more likely to have kids, and/or disabled family members who depend on them being around.
Remote work lets employers choose older, more experienced workers who otherwise might not be competing for a given position. (Of course, it also lets them hire someone in Mumbai instead, but that affects old and young alike.)
So, yeah, it's easy to picture the rise of remote work tipping the scales a bit to the older and more experienced.
