Fox sports coverage of the World Cup is wild. What do you mean there’s a “Fox News Wine Shop” that is filled with wines “that are and with what made America great”
@Halalcoholism This is my issue with this discourse (beyond the point of pro-choice is it’s your choice) is it’s being made by people who never wanted kids and likely never will have them.
@INArteCarloDoss “If a nuclear war erupts they have Mars” sorry will money exist if the last of humanity is fleeing to mars? Will you really be thinking “wow what an economic moat SpaceX has.” Moron.
China right now is building solar farms in west China so large that they generate enough power to power small countries, meanwhile we’re doing McKinley imperialism for oil companies.
TRUMP: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country."

Interesting point from my friend Paolo. What is going on in the USA resembles the Years of Lead—the long season of political terrorism in Italy—only superficially.
The contest between factions in Italy was deeply political: each faction had a strong ideological commitment to a mutually exclusive and structured plan for a new society. The terrorist organizations were also structured, both in terms of ideology and organization.
The Italian political élite of the time was certainly corrupt, but with the memory of fascism and civil war still fresh in their mind, they retained a high sense of what politics was.
The level of unity shown by opposing factions—Christian Democrats, liberals, socialists, and communists—was astounding, considering that literally dozens, if not hundreds, of people were killed each year for politically motivated reasons.
The scale of political violence in the USA is still, for now, much lower than it was in Italy 40 years ago. It also appears far more disjointed: less the consequence of a political struggle than of a general collapse of social norms where lone-wolf actors—often people struggling with mental health issues in a deeply atomized society—can generate vast amounts of violence thanks to the widespread availability of powerful weapons
