You clearly don't understand that it was a goddamned joke, and your efforts to educate the world on the very serious matter of the difference between the types of big boats are misplaced. 

Something doesn’t compute as it’s unable to at a minimum, pay for itself. BTW, there are a lot of great things to do in Long Beach.

With all the party guests still on board at the time of being torpedoed? Throw in a MAGA convention too.  They can live stream the discussions of “doing a Myanmar” in the US when the first torpedoes hit.

Mazda isn’t going to add a bunch of weight and cost to the Miata when it’s currently just as quick as this will be anyway.

I held the record for largest crap 2 years running, look at my Kinja handle. Guess that makes me worth preserving. Would everybody please contribute to my refurbishment maybe some upgrades? Some bits are beginning to look a bit shabby I would love to see everything restored to the immaculate and buff state of the…

Set up a huge party just off the coast - invite you-tubers, tik-tok stars, social influencers. Roaring 20’s excess! Loud music, beaming laser lights to the heavens, helicopters ferrying in guests, jet boats, booze flowing - then torpedo the fucker.  I’d watch. 

Is it really worth saving? As a tourist trap, does it bring money in? Is it valuable in the historic sense? Ships have lifespans, and they do degrade, maybe this old queen has reached the end of hers?

Nah. They don’t care about emissions/pollution and can tell people what to do in a way that is unmatched by any other country.

It’s time for us Americans to admit that China has become the preeminent global superpower. Their economy is already 20%+ larger than our own. They’ve moved into developing countries to secure resources as we’ve withdrawn and become more insular. They have no need to match our military power or reach (what has our…

Amen. I was born to white upper-middle-class professionals with a big house up in the hills and enough money to go on trips to Europe and Hawaii every year.

This isn’t a human rights issue, though. At least not exclusively. China is investing in the long term future of its nation in a way the United States is unwilling to. They’re betting on rare minerals, they’re betting on developing nations and emerging regions, and they’re betting on sustainability. We’re still…

I have a guy I hire to help me with yard projects. His main job is carrying sacks full of concrete.

I have worked for more than a few rich people. They are NOT the best ones. Some of them are children of some good people, but they’re just spoiled rotten and somehow think they earned their place. 

China’s ability to play the long game is unmatched.

Why do so many people buy from Amazon and use Amazon Prime? I’m sure that people are not doing it because they have some kind of aspiration to become the next Jeff Bezos. They’re doing it because Amazon makes shopping easier than the experience you get in Walmart.

No kidding, right?

Of course it affects you, you just aren’t aware of it. He doesn’t make millions a year, he makes a millions of dollars every hour. To be more precise about 13 million every hour. To believe that doesn’t warp the functioning of the world you live in is incredibly myopic.

Because that’s the image the rich have worked hard to cultivate

We have created an asperational american mythology that we all could be rich someday. And we have done so for a very long time well over 100 years. We are raised believing the mertiocracy means the best people are the rich ones otherwise they would not be rich. I disagree but that is the poison of the lie of meritocrac…

Why is it so many people worship the rich? The cost of having billionaires like Jeff Bezos is thousands of people pissing in bottles in warehouses and overworked drivers like this guy.
