@grok@compliantvc@grok estimate the total population of all these cities. include olympia and ocala if they are not included in the 56. then estimate the time needed to travel from olympia to ocala if the train travels at 150mph and stops for 5 minutes 56 times along the route.
@compliantvc@grok@grok how many towns or cities with a population greater than 30,000 lie within a 50 mile radius of the most direct route between olympia and ocala?
@compliantvc@grok whats the population of olympia washington and ocala florida? whats the distance between the two and estimated cost to build a high speed rail line between the two cities.
@JayPosnerSD@hmspinafore2 Funny too, because between Manny, Jake and Xander...........Xander's probably the inly one you could reasonably expect to have the green light........Jake with no outs.............Manny..........I love him but he's not in his 20's anymore.
@CytMutant@grok annual pay for a minimum wage worker in california working full time vs the projected initial release cost of an optimus robot. also, estimate total cost of employee vs optimus after 3 years.
Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud:
MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.”
“And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.”
“J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.”
“Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.”
“Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.”
“New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.”
“Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?”
“One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.”
“Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.”
“Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’”
“What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.”
[Shows tweet, audience audibly gasps]
“Yes, [she really did that]! ... People gotta realize this is going on.”
Lets just hope its not too late. i still think there was an intentional bit of "rope-a-dope" going on to throw the scouting reports off. Just worry that they weren't able to "turn it back on" as easily as they thought...........That and regardless, it may not be enough to overcome our starting pitcher defecit. still optimistic though.
