This is becoming a really good case study for austerity working. Argentina still isn’t great, but they were bordering on hyperinflation and are now stablizing.

It’s the same in female fields, it’s not just prestige. Men face increased scrutiny when working with children. Male nurses are expected to perform the more physical parts of the job almost exclusively.

This is a great solution but it has two big problems that make it functionally impossible.

1. To the left there is no non-toxic or positive masculinity.
2. Feminism doesn’t actually support men, it’s a reluctant talking point. It only helps men if it happens to coincide with benefiting women.

Everyone should meet someone that worked in the mortgage industry pre 2008. The number of things that were not only allowed, but perfectly legal were absurd.

• appraisal was basically a bribe for any number you wanted.
• no document loans were far more available for anyone.
• mortgages had no real chain of custody after sale.
• there wasn’t any real way to verify the risk of a mortgage security pre 2008.
• variable rates didn’t have lifetime caps on rates, and reporting the details of how they functioned weren’t required.

No, it’s like saying fire extinguishers are bad because someone replaced the real ones with gag ones in a building that burned down.

4th lines win cups.

You can’t run with bone spurs.

Bernie should be aware of the war powers act. It’s one of the worse pieces of legislation ever, but it makes the whole declare war thing largely meaningless.

The act gives a president the ability to perform military actions provided Congress is notified within 48 hours of the action happening. Then the president gets a free 60 days to do whatever without additional approval. Then there’s a further 30 days where forces should be withdrawing if there is no further congressional approval. However, that timeline doesn’t really matter, as the Supreme Court ruled under Clinton that of troops are gone by the time the case gets to them then it doesn’t really matter that the law was violated.

Israel is a US interest because they are an easier target than the US in a region that tends to prefer terrorist actions.

China is slowly transitioning from a developing country, but it’s a slow process as new agreements are signed and old ones expire.

NA and EU wouldn’t be a rounding error, China wouldn’t magically be more powerful than everyone else combined. The EU can already make the US and it’s companies make concessions, that wouldn’t change with China replacing the US.

As far as emissions China already hit the point they couldn’t ignore it. That’s why they are rolling out so much solar and nuclear, the Internet being flooded with pictures of absurdly bad smog already forced that issue.

Global power doesn’t tend to be a peaceful transition though. If China does make a play to become the dominant force by then, it’s bad news for everyone living right now.

There are benefits China has that will go away as they transition, which could also cause them to stumble. No longer being considered a developing nation, any poverty will be 100% on them to fix, international agreements will expect them to contribute instead of receiving, emissions will be more heavily scrutinized. Other countries will not be a tolerant about the rampant IP theft and extreme protectionism of their domestic markets.

Like most international groups of the doesn’t commit resources to it, their effective reach is greatly diminished. We saw this with Libya, without us fuel and munitions most jets would be grounded in about a week.

It’s bordering on conspiracy, but there’s an argument to be made that record labels pushed gangster rap and downplayed others to keep black communities down.

You could probably make a power supply that refuses to charge iPhones.

It’s been a long time, but wasn’t she a dick to an innocent Squirtle trying to help the others?

It would have to be more like an unsolved mysteries show with a dramatic reenactment and a developer giving all the ugly details with a blacked out face and voice changer.

Germany is a pretty bad example, they were completely dismantled and rebuilt after WWII.

Kickass is the best surprise nic cage film.
Lord of war is the best serious cage.
Bangkok dangerous is the most cage being cage film.

There would be more Russians in the NHL if it was easier to scout them and get them to the US/Canada.

The house is a proportional system already, it’s just too small to be as proportional as it should be.
