Yeah, and I don’t see Aramco getting smaller through this.

They said “A WINDFALL PROFITS TAX WOULD BE GOOD....OH WAIT: THAT WOULD MEAN THE CRIMINAL AND CORRUPT REPUBLICANS, ESPECIALLY THE DONALD-GROVELERS IN THE SENATE, WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND TURN THE TAX INTO LAW. BUT IF THERE’S ONE THING THOSE LYING MONSTERS HAVE PROVEN, DOING THE RIGHT THING IS IMPOSSIBLE FORE THEM.”

I’m a captialist. But I’m a human being first.

Subsidies aren’t a contract, it’s law. Congress would have to repeal them. *snort*

What people don’t realize when they say “Big Oil” is that it’s Saudi Armaco. It’s worth 8 times as much as second place (Exxonmobile). It’s almost worth the other 19 “big oil” companies combined.

A windfall profits tax would be good....

Sounds like its not the price of gas thats the problem, its the gross profiteering from companies under the guise of “boy that inflation is a killer eh? We’ll all get through this...together.”

Exactly this. Racing in Europe, where the road in the Alps and Dolomites are much steeper that what we have state side, we see these speeds all the time. Having raced over there personally, we would see 100kph on nearly every descent. If you’re on a good bike and have good skills then what this guy is doing is nothing…

I mean, you’re not wrong.

This is brilliant. The free market can solve problems if you let it. Just put all the fines and debt on one company, start another, hire all those people, and profit. 

I’m pretty sure there’s a class in US business school that teaches this tactic until one is large enough to just buy senators.

What. The. Fuck?

Absolutely one hundred percent entirely none of that is improved with a blockchain.

“the platform was a private chain and that the information on it was controlled and distributed by the city”
In other words: it’s useless for the supposed purposes of increasing accountability, because that’s only a property of a _public_ blockchain. A private blockchain can be manipulated at will by the entity holding…

General Thievsky and Colonel Stealov needed to find a little extra money when they wanted to renovate their man caves.

Start the post with “As a feminist, I believe the patriarchy must fall, and furthermore, the ablative shields on US ballistic reentry vehicles are made up of <incorrect guess at material makeup” and you’re gonna catch some people with access to that kind of information jumping in to correct you on all counts.

Oh lol he turned it into his GM who I assume threw it in the trash. Maybe they contacted someone in government I can’t say. Though before he gave it to his manager he did bring it over and we kind of flipped through it. It was kind of interesting that something like that existed, though makes sense obviously. No clue…

Well there is quite a bit of general knowledge about these tanks freely, i.e. not classified, available. Stuff like top speed, weight and stuff like basic gun specs. These arguments seem to be about exact specifications, which would not be known outside of the military. Fun story, which I posted on the previous…

My guess would be that they mostly base the stats on the infos known about them and/or they gather certain informations through tank museums, shows etc.

Especially with older tanks from WW2 for example there are clear differences in armor, weaponry, the caliber that’s fired, engines, weight, max speed etc which you…

I read a lot of Quora, being a history buff. There are lots of times I wonder “should I know what is being talked about here.”
