@DefenseAnalyses I feel like the trend over the last ~80 years has went/needs to go:
Exquisite @ quantity (WWII aircraft carriers) -> Exquisite low quantity (90s - present) -> High-Low Mix @ quantity (present - onwards)
@avidseries It frustrates me to no end, because these communities (American Blacks) can't fix the situations they're stuck in without first accepting the causes of the situation in the first place.
If you ignore the real problem, you'll never get a real solution. The cycle continues.
@NiohBerg Do these people just always side with the wrong side every time? How else do they pick who to side with than "side with the bad guys always"?
He's not thinking about the Poor Muslim Workers who were being killed, who he'd support in literally any other situation. It's crazy.
@sam_d_1995 Everyone gets a few % lower prices for a few years (barring no other price affecters), and then boom! China has leverage on and eventually controls your entire domestic market via their subsidized exports.
What % price increase is worth geopolitical survival?
@atlanticesque That type of man who works their way into a high-powered career is much more similar to the "average man" than that type of woman is to the "average woman" I'd think.
@LeeKuanYimby@ManhattanInst Cut down on fare evasion seems like a pretty damn good start to cutting down on crazy, violent criminals doing crime on public transit.
Some might say it would cut it down by 90%+...
@ManhattanInst The trend here is not surprising to anyone who has a clear view of the world.
I assumed most people who do bad things on public transit wouldn't have an issue avoiding fares.
HOWEVER, I am surprised about the fact that I was UNDERESTIMATING how strong the trend is!
@InsiderWN He's either dead, in a coma, or somewhat-cogent but so horribly broken and disfigured that he wouldn't be able to command any sort of respect from anyone who sees him.
If they were able to trot him out and get a huge morale boost from it, they would've absolutely done it by now.
Boy were those people spot on!
Now you'll be hearing crying and whining from Tehran for the next few weeks/months (along with maybe some more violent flailing) as their economy continues to collapse and, if we're lucky, their regime too.
2/2
I've seen a few posts detailing the typical Iran/Muslim interaction timeline:
Lots of bluster, threats and tough talk -> get absolutely wrecked in a conflict -> run crying to anyone who will listen shrieking about "genocide" or "mistreatment" or something.

@Osint613 Uh oh, where are American universities and organizations going to get all their money now...
It's only a matter of time before Trump moves on university funding from China as well.
