“warm water port” is a term I exclusively associate with Russia, because the only time it was ever mentioned for me was in a world history class, talking about Russian expansion to secure one.

While “port” might be a normal word, the phrase is a key to know where it comes from.

Two throwbacks in one.

You know that game 6 degrees of separation, where you find 6 people you and a stranger have in common? You can do the same thing with your job and MIC spending by the government.

Maintaining the union is important. Without solidifying that every state is in it together, the federal government loses it’s power, then states start to push the limits, not paying taxes here, disobeying federal law there.

If we wanted to let states secede, we would have formed a Confederacy, or not a country at all. As it stands now, the US government will always fight for a United States, as to not do so puts everything in jeopardy.

Literally just how people ended letters in 1864. It’s like seeing someone say “bless you” to a sneeze and scoffing at it.

Google has been partnered with iFixit for many years now, they offer genuine screens, batteries, and cameras for replacement. There’s no official install service but having parts available through a retail outlet means you can go to anyone you want and they will be able to get a genuine part.

“Gathering together and sharing ideas is bad for capitalism” care to explain that point further? I’m not really following.

You get a couple badges :)

Except you would be very upset if your Uber eats took 3-5 days to arrive, as a postal system does. The cost is because it’s an entirely different product, an on-demand courier system. It’s closer to comparing universal healthcare with having a doctor on retainer (if such a thing exists).
