Food prices trippled in less than 10 years, and incomes have not kept up. It’s stagflation, similar to the USA.

Note, this is just based on my personal experience as an American that visits China periodically. I have no real data to source outside of my lived reality.

I like yams but to toml makes me think of tomboys so yeah, toml wins.

I like the idea a lot however you can filter comments by your hardware and distro which has greatly helped me.

Something that I find much harder to get good documentation for is the steam launch options. Which might vary based on hardware, distro, proton version, and game engine.

I’m not a lawyer, but it seems like the current legal precedent and interpretation of Section 1983 means that people can not sue “federal agents” for violations of their freedoms protected by the Constitution and it’s amendments.

Fair point.

Now, how many millions of those men named Kim were abducted from their job by a paramilitary and forcibly deported when staying in the USA legally and are still dealing with the aftermath of their lives being uprooted unexpectedly?

Paying for cleaning is fair.

However, judging from the single coat of paint. Either it was the artist intent that the artwork get damaged or it should not have been installed outdoors.

Does Australia not have vinegar and oil technology? Maybe Wd40?

All the red states are shithole states now. I’m just hoping the blues can hold out.

Don’t worry, as someone that used to live in Miami I stopped visiting all red states.

Better just give them Florida

I don’t think any President actually declared a cold war, which is different then the war on drugs and the war on terror. The cold war did however have a great effect on the USA economy, the military industrial complex, and also prompted the second red scare. Which led to many people losing their rights, citizenship and livelihood.

We have totally been involved in proxy wars since ww2 and some have argued we are in 2 now both in Ukraine and in Gaza.

I don’t know where exactly the line is drawn, or how exactly war is defined. And I do believe that words have meanings. Which is why when a sitting president declares a war on drugs there are consequences and the USA can now execute people on an alleged “drug boat” without much resistance.

I believe it’s our job to recognize and call out things like this, among other things.

• Are you saying that Ukraine’s allies, specifically the USA are not financially supporting the Ukraine war? Remember we are talking about how the cost of war effects the economy.
• it sounds like you’re dismissing the war in Gaza because of how you are deciding to define the word war. Do you really think that daily airstrikes, ground invasion,a siege, and an officially recognized genocide doesn’t qualify as a war simply because it hasn’t been declared?

I couldn’t disagree more on the rest of your points. You seem so focused on semantics that you can’t see the obvious. Also, if we are going to base everything on semantics, if the commander in chief declares something a war, then it is one.

US tax dollars are being used for these activities, no matter if you support them or not. And in some cases (more specifically the domestic ones) they are a net negative on GDP.

Foreign wars that US tax dollars pay for:

• The Russian invasion of Ukraine (I support Ukraine)
• The Israeli genocide in Gaza (genocide is a war crime)

Demostic wars that US tax dollars pay for:

• The war on drugs
• The war on terror
• The war on woke

Note: these are not just semantics. The word “war” was chosen by leaders to facilitate policy changes like increased militarization of police, creation of entire departments, and loss of US citizen freedoms.

Personally, I think the word war is synonymous with the military industrial complex. It is a self propecuating cycle of harm.

You’re a stupid fucking take.

Just the way that this would make sense to me.

America’s economy is creaking — and the Whitehouse wants Americans to pay more for the war
