Absolutely hysterical that they chopped Columbia up into thirds. It’s such a democratic stronghold, they think divvying it up dillutes the vote, but I think they might be shooting themselves in the foot here. Either way, shit can’t get done until Gov. calls 'em back for a special session and Foghorn Leghorn is fairly against this measure.

Edit: Weird to see so many folks to get worked up about my state. I actually think this has a higher chance of backfiring, if they enact it, than succeeding. All that being said, THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN , MARK MY WORDS. Gov. McMaster is leaving office and truly does not give a shit. He would rather keep the 6-1, than risk a 4-3.

More botched than her plastic face. I usually don’t get cruel about appearances. But she purchased her face, so that’s a product now. And it’s a very bad product. And if by some chance it’s only makeup, girl, get better please.

May the Lord bless you and keep you for this compassion. Mashallah.

Hell yeah. I’m actually a huge fan of this deal if eBay accepts. The second hand market is huge and people are growing tired of Facebook more every day. I know so many people who only use FB for marketplace. If they can emphasize local pickups on eBay and people leave marketplace for it, I’d be okay with that. I’ve always had a soft spot for eBay. I’ve found so many treasures on there. Still do! If GME kills eBay, then whatever lol

Well, he can’t abuse her if she’s at home, right?

Moreso, they are trying to impress a narcissist to make good on his country’s deal with them.

I was trying to play into it in a more macabre manner. I was hoping to imply that in the event of the collapse of the US, the states would go free for all and protect resources. I have no doubt that South Carolina would try to keep as many weapons as we manufacture. It’s a fun hypothetical to think about. The level of chaos that would ensue. It’s fascinating, really.

South Carolina might not have the ships, but we got the nukes lol

Not only that, but less than 70% vote in a general election. Probably less than 60% will vote in the midterms. Only 30% voted in my municipal elections last year. Americans are apathetic and don’t want to make time to vote. It’s stupidly easy. Early voting opens a month early, I’m literally going to go primary vote in a couple weeks ahead of it. I literally just pick a Saturday, wait most of the day and then vote.

Do I wish it was easier? Yes. Do I still think it’s easy enough for people to do it. Yes. There’s plenty of voting resources, but people don’t use them, because they can’t be bothered to research and out in any effort. Americans are lazy and apathetic and deserve whatever happens.

The bleeding Ohio flag is sending me

It’s fine to celebrate anyone’s death.

I disagree. This is a social media based article, whose only purpose is to be eye-catchingly inflammatory. It’s meant to get people arguing. All it’s doing is documenting people online fussing with each other. They specifically used this post of a women, because people will more easily hate on a woman than a man. That’s just my lived experience, though.

But they cannot sell them all. Eventually the well runs dry and they will have overstock and the wave will come to shore. The cracks in the foundation seem to be there. But I may be, and probably am, wrong. I studied engineering, not geopolitical based economics.

Oh boy! Is it hating women time already?

Ah, fair enough then. I concede.

I believe any intelligent system will be corrupted, or manipulated for greed. It’s why I believe in complete anarchy. A complete lack of state and authority. All beings equal, all provided what they need. And everyone works with their unique skills for a better future.

Adding intelligence doesn’t make it any better. It just makes the system more exclusive for the powerful. It’s a higher barrier to entry. But the entry is still there.

We both believe in utopias. And we both hope for systems in which human beings aren’t the most vile creatures on earth.

It was a pleasure conversing with you and many blessings to you.

I will fully admit my only data is anectodal evidence from friends overseas.

Edit: I’ll also add, I distinctly remember reading abouy China selling zero mileage used EVs. Which lines up with dumping practices.

To be fair, the kind of capitalism you’re talking about is/would be heavily regulated. In a free-market, which most people refer to when referring to capitalism due to messaging from Republicans, dumping is a perfectly fine tool. Is it ethical? No. But who cares? It’s a free-market.

The guy at my lot said, “you won’t be able to find what you’re looking for; cause even if we stripped everything out, it would still be the MSRP base price.” And I was just floored by that. I walked off the lot, went home and got a PHEV from Mazda and ended up $2000 under asking; had to stay for hours though. Best I could do cause the only comparable cargo and seat size EV was a KIA EV7 (the suburban looking one). I wanted the Ioniq5, but a buddy of mine had a problem with his and Hyundai was terrible to him. Everything else in that size was just too expensive because all the EVs at that level have so many useless features.

They cannot dump indefinitely. That is impossible with current global circumstances. Also, if companies actually invested in EVs sooner, costs would be down already and China would have a harder time dumping. The biggest issue currently is, China can dump for longer than manufacturers can catch up. You reap what you sow, though.
