  • If you visit the communism museum in Prague, you'll learn all about the horrors of being under the thumb of the USSR. And then at the end you'll see a photograph of the cottage in the countryside where Vaclav Havel and others plotted the revolution with a text explaining that, like many Czech people, Havel owned a second home in the countryside where they would often spend weekends and holidays. For all the bad, the communists did a much better job on housing than the capitalists.

  • Farage owns the Reform Party. The leader of Reform in Wales just got a 10+ year prison sentence for taking Russian bribes to promote Russian agendas. Nigel often speaks favourably of Russia and Putin and regularly made paid appearances on Russian television before sanctions made that impossible.

    It seems highly likely that Farage has also been well paid by Russia for his lifes work of disrupting UK-European relations.

  • No US casualties. Civilian casualties on the other side aren't a concern.

  • ARM doesn't belong to Nvidia. They tried to buy it a few years ago and failed. Its majority owned by a Japanese conglomerate.

  • You can't sit your hand down opposite you at the dinner table, pour it a glsss of mountain dew and pretend you're on a romantic date, gazing into its eyes while you explain the intricacies of your favourite hobby.

    There are people out there who do this kind of stuff.

  • Gold is used for medical devices, electronics, currency, thats everything you mentioned. How is that not all of it?

  • All of that is true for gold as well though.

  • Wait a second! This image isn't high resolution!

  • 100%

  • They never "gave" it to you, it was always priced into the contract.

  • This right here. Some are very bad, but there are some really good ones around these days. Guinness for example tastes almost identical to real Guinness.

  • They can always create as many USD as they like, they don't have to actually print any of it. It will devalue the dollar though, the price is inflation which affects everyonr who has dollars or is paid in dollars.

    Similar story with the national debt, with enough inflation the total value of the debt becomes miniscules, you just screw over everyone who owns that debt (a lot of 401ks) and destroy your economic credibility.

  • They're coming, they'll just be third party and expensive.

  • It's a form of indentured labour, and these kinds of arrangements are still common worldwide. Advertise overseas in low income countries, confiscate passports on arrival, take most of the advertised wages for expenses and don't let them leave until their contract is finished.

    It's how Qatar built all their world cup stadiums for example. More labourers died building those stadiums than were killed in 9/11.
