Judging by your comment you and I absolutely do not agree on what is best for the future of our country. Progressive tax is important, corruption exists within all governments but the ‘both sides’ argument is a horrendously stupid take that ignores social and environmental policy, and the similarities between conservative and liberal fiscal policy exist because the Overton window has shifted way too far to the right (in America); to see truly leftist/liberal economic policy, we must shift the spectrum away from the conservative/right side.

You will need to break decades of propaganda ops pushing the idea that labor is equivalent to socialism/communism or at least attached to the forces of evil in some form or another, or that a union is an evil money stealing organization that the ruggedly individualist American should never submit to.

It will likely be easier to wait for the misinformed generations to simply die out than actually affect that sort of change.

As am I. We really, REALLY need younger candidates for President, but I’m not voting for a fascist man baby over just because the other guy is an old man with brainfarts.

I mean, making threats does put a target on one’s back.

Iirc (and as an extreme novice) superconductors allow for transfer of incredible amounts of energy with little to no loss, but require extreme supercooling to do so. A superconductor that doesn’t need that cooling would allow super-efficient energy transfer with very little to no cooling needed, meaning the overhead costs are reduced dramatically.

This would be a wonder technology if proven to be true, but my understanding is most of the rest of the world is highly skeptical at the moment. It’s like having your cake and eating it too.

If I had an SSD that ran the same speed as a HDD I’d want a refund lol

I see the points you’re making.

I still disagree with your position.

If the vast majority of people also disagree with you, would you still hold your position on this?

If history teaches us anything, it’s that military coups are almost always a bad thing.

Seeing that you’re from Canada, why is this so? Why is living in Canada so expensive relative to elsewhere?

Except in this case it was less a sledgehammer and more a mirror.

Russia owns the skies and the sea currently, and the bridge is deep behind enemy lines, close to Russia. It’s honestly very impressive they were able to damage it a second time.
