Honestly I think it’s deliberate, at that point the problem isn’t who is being moved in it’s that there’s no way the existing infrastructure and services can support the population suddenly quadrupling. Easy way to manufacture a small crisis to drum up anti-immigration fervor.
ikr? Like given infinite money I’d actually really enjoy seeing how much solar I can distribute and running design contests for the most effective housing that still provides access to green space (and then building it). I bet with some help I could design some really awesome parks.
Besides I thought they were so wealthy because they took on all the risk right? If we pay one way or another anyway then we may as well let the fuckers go down in flames.
iirc it was also pointed out that countries like the US and UK also tend to just legalise a lot of corrupt seeming shit which keeps them higher on the scale since its no longer technically corruption.
Nah its just that nice progressive people are also not ruthless murderous cunts, and thus bad at sezing power which then just ends up in the new generation of ruthless murderous cunts. Most people are pretty great which is sadly not a good trait for enacting change.
Didn’t they just destroy some moderately high profile persons career over a glitch in a self checkout? Can’t wait for random people to get murdered or deported because the scale fucked up.
It took several aspects from the short stories in ‘the complete robot’ and kind of mashed them together in a way that didn’t really match the tone of any of them.
If the goal is no one more educated than Trump I presume they’ll have to start going after pigs, crows and dolphins at some point.
The greek gods are basically how a regular person would react if given godlike power too, yeh you might try and make thigns better at first but eventually unlimited power would mean unlimited boredom and you’d end up using magic to troll people which is basically the greek gods main passtime when they’re not focussing on one specific person.
The US was doing horrific shit 20 years ago, 20 years from now it will still have been doing horrific shit 20 years ago.
Starmer was a human rights lawyer and he’s spent his term systematically dismantling peoples rights, a 180 is apparently the standard.
Its basically a phyric victory machine, the act of using it destroys anything of value in the territory gained including the abiltiy to even use the space itself.
That’s possible but I don’t see the US army being super jazzed about going full imperialism either, maybe Cuba and Mexico might be initially tolerable but the latter is liable to turn into a horrific meat grinder which the population (rightfully) has never taken well in the United States. Every other option is either culturally a US ally or very far away which is a problem because US logistics are nowhere near as overhwelming without international support, or both.
On the other hand how effective is the US military really? Its got a lot of fancy toys but sure did just fall flat on its face despite what should have been overwhelming advantages.
I’m starting to doubt there have been ANY negotiations, Trump is straight up daydreaming this shit like those fights you always win in your imagination and then gets confused and thinks those imaginary negotiations were real.
Or the wizard couldn’t figure out how to teleport bones specifically so it just teleports your flesh and conjurs you a new skeleton on the other side.
Based on those ‘how it was invented’ shows, innovations has historically been tied to random passionate people in sheds who then get exploited or even straight up robbed by big industry.
The populations of Ireland and Scotland still haven’t recovered from what happened to them.
iirc this a new not-war so gets is own deadline.
Doesn’t work when veterans have consistently and publicly been treated like shit, the army needs at least be a better option afterwards and if it’s not then not even the desperate will willingly join.
