@captive_dreamer Those are just 2/6 that need to be repealed. I wrote a simple bill solves most if not all immigration problems. pdf link: https://t.co/OfZRKPDPmO
@VLS_Appreciator As an american, I would of course prefer that the Canadians not split from us, but that is entirely their choice to make. The issue is that some people insist that the gripen should be in the same conversation as F-35 by capability.
SAAB presentation highlighting the life-cycle cost vs Capability. Russian jets are maintainance heavy owing to significantly less reliable engine/electronics hence increasing their life-cycle costs though they are cheaper to procure compared to Western jets of same class.
This story is great: During the Biden admin a migrant came all the way to the U.S. from Mauritania, and was immediately allowed in by claimig he needed asylum for being gay.
He moved to Indiana, married the (female) daughter of a sheriff, and got a job as a prison guard from his father-in-law.
But now the Trump Admin has swooped in, pointed out that since he's not gay his asylum claim is clearly fraudulent, and has arrested him for deportation.

If Microsoft made me CEO?
1) I would issue a Windows Pro SKU that lacked any upsells, bloatware, monetization, coercion of defaults, or unnecessary telemetry. It would be an annual license, enforced by activation.
2) Double down on gaming and backward compatibility as the killer advantage, which ensures PCs remain relevant in the homes and thus minds of decision makers.
3) I'd open-source portions of the Windows shell, WinUI components, utilities, and file system tools (similar to how they open-sourced parts of .NET and VS Code). Let the community fix the jank.
4) Then I'd make bash the default shell one day because I'd had too many Long Islands at lunch.
@davepl1968 the only difference between communism and fascism is communists are internationalist and fascists are nationalist. Class decides ownership with commies and race (nazi) or nationality (pnf) control the resources in fascist systems but both are retarded socialists.
@NightWarp@TomcatJunkie The Gripen is more expensive than the F-35, however the US should not sell the F-35 to Canada, it isn't a reliable or serious country.
