I think his thing is wanting more drones instead.

But Elon, a master wordsmith, does concede, "Fighter jets do have the advantage of helping Air Force officers get laid."

Sounds like Elon's been binging Top Gun. I'd bet all my Dogecoin that he pauses it at the volleyball scene.

you think? so....you didn't watch the video provided or take any of the information in and instead spouted off your "thoughts". Sounds about right.

so which is better for hogs:

Remington 870 or Mossberg 500?

870 but both will handle it

A shotgun for hogs?

Wouldn't be anyone's choice. Unless the goal is torture.

Fuck. The price of eggs are going to skyrocket because of this!

i read somewhere that we could provide free healthcare to all legal Americans, with all the money we spend funding foreign wars.

I bet we could fund Healthcare to all Americans with just the tax breaks and subsidies we've given to Elon alone.

Are you outraged about that?

An inconvenient truth

What were the odds!

provide examples of other options that have proven large scale success?

That is a very big question.

Is there like something in particular you'd like to consider?

Literally every other country has some sorta nationalized healthcare. Plenty of other places have nationalized energy, housing, transportation, all sorts of industries/resources/however you wanna.

And I think it's worth adding two caveats:

1. even if it is difficult to find examples of what would satisfy your question of "proven large scale success" alternatives to free-market economies, it's much more difficult yet to find examples that have been left to their own devices, and not subjected to wars, coups, embargoes, sanctions, propaganda, and various other forms of being fucked with by the "free-market" otherwise.

2. even if you want to argue nowhere has had "proven large scale success," that doesn't mean it's still not worth trying. At some point it's worth rethinking systems built to focus on things like conserving resources and the planet and satisfying people's basic needs, rather than doubling down on systems built for infinite growth and individual accumulation of wealth.

The ancient Greeks tried democracy, and it didn't necessarily stick the first time around, but it ended up getting tried again, and the folks seem to prefer it now anyway. It's a matter of bringing democratic principals to economic decision-making, in addition to political.

i love ignorant, obnoxious pricks not knowing the definition of “literally”

Now, if I could just get this damn sink unclogged....
