GTA vice city on PC, that toy helicopter mission. Shit got me so mad.

So Musk decided not to leverage this influence and instead acquiesced to a foreign government for funsies.

Sounds like him.

So in your mind the possibility of Musk being extradited could lead to those colossal outcomes?

The starlink thing died yesterday but, I can’t imagine a reaction this strong from the US financial sector or MAGA.

I disagree with the intensity of this response, if it were to happen.

I’m failing to see the connection with Brazil here.

What would the backlash be from the US financial sector?

Why would MAGA be mad about the US Government extraditing an African American?

Remember that time Musk expressed that he was in favor of free speech? Then he censored content on his platform for the Turkish government?

Why would the US strain their relationship with Brazil over Musk? Politically, it makes sense to extradite him.

Also imma need a citation on how extradition works, I searched the wiki and couldn’t find anything.

They said its not but, I think the argument they were trying to make was that it’s not enforceable.

Oof, The ultimate “this you?”.

“It’s facilitated in part by a Job Development Investment Grant from the North Carolina Department of Commerce, which gives cash grants directly to a company when it creates jobs and invests in the state.”

I wonder if this makes it kind of like, although not equivalent to, a project labor agreement. I know North Carolina is a right to work state.

It would be nice for there to be union presence on a job this large. However small the chances of that may be.

Welcome back from your 6 month bad take hiatus.

My man is 100 right now. So the Jamaican dude was talking to 90 year old Webster.

Yes, he kicked down the Point Of Entry. Also, Power Over Ethernet is the best. It is known.

Would Marx be opposed to shopping malls in a socialist society? As a transitionary mechanism to communism would Marx not approve of shopping centers or modern market places?

Call it something like “According to Your Needs Outlet”

Idk much about the guy but, I don’t think a socialist society would outright oppose a shopping mall. I could see a use for them.

Sound and communications technician. I put cables in the walls, floors or ceilings for structured cabling projects.

Not glamorous work but, I get to be in large buildings and, most of the time I work in climate controlled occupied space.

I wouldn’t consider alot of those countries “functioning”. They don’t engage in the same actions because they aren’t able to. Not for any moral reasons. China and Russia support those countries for extractive and political reasons.

Countries don’t have allies because they like each other. Countries ally when it’s beneficial to their interests.

Yes, the United States government has done/continues to do, many terrible things in the name of protecting economic interests. But to sit here and say russia and China some how have the moral high ground is unacceptable to me.

Given the same opportunity would Russia and China not do the same things?

I acknowledge the US has been the “imperial core”. The thing I take issue with is the finger pointing.

As if the United States is unique in seeking out and pursuing its interests. China and Russia may not be the “imperial core” but, all nations will do what’s in their best interest.

That’s the flaw with nations, the campist lens of “America bad, Russia and China good” isn’t productive. Das all I’m saying.

I think the only war we tried to show our military might “greatness” was the Gulf War. It did establish America as a coalition force to the world.

I think the meme is accurate to people who once supported the war in Iraq. I don’t think it reflects people that opposed it or, people who have since changed their views on it.

It’s an international poker game and everyone is cheating. To see politics through a campist lens helps no one.
