Stupid stuff: pursuit of fusion power, BRICS currency, cryptocurrencies, CPR in tv/movies, clean car windows in the same, plastic tile spacers/levelers,

@musharbash_b truth is before the 1973 shock, US production was falling bc is was expensive to explore/drill. oil in the mid-east was easy. poke a hole straight down, and oil/gas blasted to the surface under pressure. no pump jack necessary. so the could offer refineries a lower price.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@musharbash_b the production cost of US oil has only increased bc of the techniques now required to find/extract the oil and gas. the easy oil is gone. now it’s directional drilling/horizonal drilling/fracking after very expensive seismic/geological mapping of the field.

@sandeepvaheesan nah, cuz tariffs depend on trade, and there isn‘t any between the 2.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@anders_aslund yes. but it’s also a major point of leverage for europe right now. what if the germans closed ramstein right now? or italy close some of the bases there? england?

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@davidsirota but also, TSA is mostly funded by ticket fees which they are still collecting. So they are just doing this intentionally. They are harming TSA workers for politic

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@FrankLuntz yeah. it‘s fucking great. i thought republicans loved comparative advantage?

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@noclador so what? well, iran has commandeered the strait and turned it into the suez or panama canal. they control it and charge transit fees. they can do that indefinitely. cargo ships will not pass if even a 1% chance that iran lobs a drone at a cargo ship cuz they can’t be insured.

@PhillipsPOBrien fuck the licenses. make bootleg copies. no contract with the US will be honored. T has broken a trade deal with canada that he himself made.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@RachelBitecofer ok. martial law just isn’t physically possible. they aren’t enough members of the military to do it in a country so massive and so populous.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@sandeepvaheesan *epstein class

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@davetroy @kadavy how many ppl will know abt an attack on iran before it’s publicly known? cuz they could make bank. no need for prediction, just insider knowledge to screw the rubes.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@sandeepvaheesan really? i haven’t followed that closely, but it seems modi wants to create a south asian fascism. then all the authoritarian regimes can divide up the world. like i said. not fully informed.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@PeterTwinklage lived experience is literally the worst possible way to gain knowledge. we invented a whole new reliable process to replace it called science.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@AngelicaOung nope. dirty diapers donnie is a coward. if the military tells him there are loses that could be blamed on him, he’ll back out and claim victory, or some non-existant deal. same as greenland.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@MalcolmNance diapers donnie will taco. he likes shows of force. he likes acts of war, not war. he (like every narcissist) doesn’t want to do anything that he could be blamed for. when the pentagon tells him what the probable loses are, he will claim an agreement. same as greenland.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@noclador or, and this might sound strange, but europe trusted the US as loyal partner, as a good friend who would never betray them. parts of the F35 are built all over europe, bc they thought we‘re in this together. lesson for thw world. never trust the US, no matter who is president.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@narceducator mmmm. no. they will simply passive aggressively abandon us. they will move on into a better future, and we will be left to figure out why everything went to shit here. hint: cuz we were the biggest winners of the global order our forbearers created. WW3 is dead ahead.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@RachelBitecofer the US didn’t commit suicide on its own. it was talked into by social media algorithms. same as a growing number of teenage suicides are the result of LLM (aka fake AI). bathe a country in lies, and roll the dice on the result. ppl are NOT rational actor.

[Rational Pear @PearRational]

@MollyJongFast screw that. study? just tax the F out of them. tax the water. tax the electricity. tax the land. require no connection to the grid and use only solar or wind power. make them run scared to texas.
