I’m willing.

That works too

That’s so fucked up. Sorry, don’t know how else to describe it.

Not that we should have the contracts and control a country like that, but I’d like to think there could have been a win/win. Would have been nice to have a friendly and supported Iraq, on its way to healing some, at the end of the day.

Overall, a failure of US leadership on all fronts. Any positive results may have just been a bridge too far in the minds of politicians and rallying the public just not worth it for them. Silly.

Or the wonky intertwinement is the peace mechanism? How much more bloody would the world have been without it?

Lord. The irony. Could have had a little US in Iraq after us essentially living there forever. Now it’s Chinatown

An Axis is forming.

Maybe canines? Idk

I just think it would be dope to drive under as a dramatic fight between an elk and wolves tumbled off the side onto my vehicle. Killing all of us instantly. What a way to go!

As I understand it, the $7.5k isn’t any EV, but EVs that were assembled/built primarily in the US. Many weren’t compliant with that legislation. Not out of spite or anything, but because manufacturing wasn’t quite ready to comply. That led to a number of vehicles sitting ineligible for the 7.5k break. As well as consumer confusion over which ones could be discounted. Overall, a transitional growing pain for a crappy industry that relies on monthly sales.

I like to entertain the kids with a good old fashioned battery fire. Sometimes we breakout the mercury for a little hands on fun!

And a follow up nap 😴

Butt, lol

I thought that was the joke. Of course the whole planet isn’t cold all at once.

Cities Skylines 2 has been great for this. Just log in and tinker with your city! Very relaxing creative problem solving…

True. Though they have been stuck with 30 years of damage simply reverse too.

Sounds freaking sweet!

I just got one question. What is cruft?

Exactly. Israel, unfortunately, has been a strategic asset/liability for a long time. Oil powers the world. Having them where they are has benefited US interests in the region. All of it sucks and has sucked.

But I don’t think the forming axis powers have a great alternative to offer the world.

Can we all just switch to renewables/figure out fusion and put this shit behind us?

Overall, neither Ukraine or Israel deserve the help, but this global situation has quickly escalated into proxy territory where larger interests are also at play.

You said the living conditions changed and you’re at your parents primarily? Maybe just too many changes and it’s stressed him out. Reassurance and some new toys to chew might be worth it.
