The B-2's initial price wasn’t that high either - I wouldn’t be surprised if this thing costs quite a bit more than the initial estimate.

I’d rather see more investment into roads and bridges, that are literally crumbling.

If each bomber costs $686 million, then 100 will cost $68 billion. That’s $214-ish dollars per person, not $2.

If they buy the top number mentioned, it would cost almost $200 billion. It’s pathetic that some people think that is a necessary expenditure.

He’s 62 now - odds are decent he’ll be dead before his earliest release date.

23 years would make him 85 at earliest release - if he lives an average lifespan, he’ll be dead by then.

This is how I feel about all security guards - even if an armed intruder attacked, say, an armorer car, is it really worth people dying for?

It’s also insane to lock people up indefinitely for a misdemeanor. These people saying “they committed a crime” should all get put in jail for their next speeding ticket for a bit of perspective.

Their source is always polls that are simplistically worded.

It’s a Jeep.

Grams are the standard vodka measurement in Russia - the standard order is 100 grams, and it comes in a nice little carafe.

I don’t have Prime and rarely use Amazon anyway, so my solidarity won’t mean much, but they have it anyway.

You really should be able to.

She was fucked either way. There is no latent mass of progressives in North Dakota waiting to be coaxed into voting. I know what you’re getting at, but running as a unapologetic progressive isn’t going to work in states like that or TN.

This has the excellent wheels from the original 99 Turbo - I’d buy it for those alone.

Eh? There are lifecycle emissions analyses of all transportation methods, and trains come out far ahead of planes, and still ahead of cars. Virtually every train line in Western Europe is electrified, and an awful lot of that electricity comes from nuclear (in France and Belgium), wind (Germany, Netherlands), and…

Indeed, and this is something that they would learn if they read the actual justifications of the policy. Carbon pricing is the likely method to curb emissions, but has so far been elusive to try to introduce at an EU-wide level.

A train from Cologne to Barcelona would take nearly 5 hours if it ran at 300 kph the entire time, which it wouldn’t do. Something that has come up is restarting overnight trains for some of the more popular routes, but they’ll only be price competitive with a carbon tax. My round trips on the Eurostar from Brussels…

I mean, we’re now solidly in an era when a lot of SCOTUS rulings are going to be suspect, but I somehow doubt Shapiro will call any of those a diktat.
