Is blue sky federated? I thought it was another closed garden. If slightly more open than Twitter.

Ethanol is incredibly inefficient as a fuel source.

If not for the massive subsidies it would not exist.

Still, ethanol is a better fuel additive than lead. (Both reduce knocking)

Still, the far better use is to grow food.

Mindustry is much closer to the tower defense side of it.

Or maybe the RTS side.

There are even attack modes, where you build up an army to take on a fixed emplacement of enemy units.

The true captains of industry do want this. chaos is how they transfer wealth from the poor to themselves.

In a depression, the money doesn’t vanish, it goes into the pockets of the super rich.

That’s actually the plan.

Bankrupt the government and sell it off for parts.

Technically it’s the other way around. The size of the electoral college is determined by the size of the House plus the Senate.

Now, the House was meant to increase in size as the population increased.

Now, since the mechanism for that increase wasn’t spelled out in the constitution, there were heated arguments every 10 years over the new maps, but it came to a head in 1921.

Long story short, the permanent apportionment act of 1929 set the size of the House at 435 members. We’ve added two states since then, and the US population has tripped. But still it’s 435.

Repealing that one law would fix several problems.

Fun fact, there’s a 2008 law that specifically forces the president to give Israel all the best military hardware.

It was passed by W on his way out the door, and due to the Democratic party being compromised as hell, there’s never been enough votes to get rid of it, and any time the president might want to hold things back, they get sued under that law.

That one came out of left field.

Trump was taking a premature victory lap, and hires a comedian to warm up the warm up the crowd, and the proceeded exactly like Trump wanted.

And then everyone suddenly wakes up and says wait, these hate spewing assholes are actually hate spewing assholes.

All because one comedian didn’t use the code words.

The definition is that Tesla is shit.

They’re selling a spotty lane assist as Self Driving when it is not.

Other companies are selling actual self-driving cars, (even if those companies are fucking up as well) but Tesla is nowhere near that level of autonomy. All because Musk cheaped out on the sensor package.

Teslas will never be self-driving, because they literally cannot detect the road and obstacles with just their little camera setup.

They should not be allowed to call it self-driving, or autopilot, or anything else that implies that you can take your hands off the steering wheel.

but you need to supervise it because you are both responsible and because it’s not perfect

Not self-driving then. Words have meanings.

Then it’s not “Full self driving”. It’s at best lane assistance, but I wouldn’t trust that either.

Elon needs to shut the fuck up about self driving and maybe issue a full recall, because he’s going to get people killed.

Proportional representation would be good. But the true fix is to change the voting system to one that supports multiple parties.

The easiest system that does this is Approval. The slightly better option is called STAR.

Both systems have proportional versions, but single winner is honestly good enough.

The actual plan is to crash the economy to theoretically rebuild it stronger.

The thing is, that’s still crashing the economy and the only people with the money to rebuild it will be buying up everything for pennies on the dollar.

A tungsten cube that size would weigh a fuckload.

To just deliver it would be an undertaking. There will be roads between you and the where ever this came from that are not rated for that weight.

You may need a specialized truck just to move it, and a crane to get it on and off said truck…

But he’s also a fat bastard who never exercises. His diet is shit, and yet he might still live for another decade.

Trump would get a fine, if he hadn’t violated the judge’s orders and been held in contempt multiple times.

Trump burned through all of his rich white guy privileges with judge Merchan. Delaying the sentencing until after the election was a way to make sure that Trump gets prison time.

See, if the sentencing had been before the election, then the Supreme Court could have held an emergency session to keep him out of prison.

They will not hold an emergency session for a two time loser.

The main worry now is if Trump flees the country.

But that’s only if he loses. I have faith that it will happen. But reality doesn’t care about my faith. Things will turn out how they turn out and we can only be sure once it’s done.

But yeah, if he loses he’ll be in prison come Christmas.

That or he’ll try to flee the country.

If Trump is near or on his plane come election day, I’ll feel a lot more confident in his loss.

Pop quiz, what was the reason for Trump’s first impeachment?

Halting money that Congress had allocated to a foreign country.

Biden and Harris have been calling for restraint and cease fires non-stop since the beginning here.

Give Harris Congress, and the she can put a stop to this shit.

Vote for Trump, or convince people to not support Harris, and the genocide will be accelerated.

That’s it. Those are the choices.

And if Harris wins the presidency but loses Congress. Well, that’s still better than Trump. At that point we’d be in for two to four years of nothing getting done either way.

Need I remind you that a speaker at yesterday’s Madison Square Garden Trump rally claimed that “Palestinians are taught to kill us at two years old”.

The problem is, Joe can’t be the first to seize power, because that act would end democracy.

Also, to end democracy you need the buy in from most of the administrative state.

That’s the huge part of project 2025. Dismantling and rebuilding the administrative state into something that will support authoritarianism.

Biden has not, and will not, do any of that work for a future dictator.

Except she absolutely has.

She’s called for the investigations needed to legally stop the funding.

Because there’s a full legal process that needs to happen to overrule Congress on allocated funding.

Trump was impeached over fucking with funds allocated by Congress to a foreign government.

A Harris win means a push for a cease fire. Especially if Democrats win the House and Senate.

A Trump win on the other hand… Well. He’s actually on record as pro-genocide.
