Then make it collapse in a spiral. Then, assuming you can make it infinitely thin, you can collapse into an arbitrarily small area.

You could also argue that the earth is flat and lots of people do. No one can rationally argue that that was partly the US' responsibility, though.

The case is also going to radiate heat and turning it upside down will make that less efficient. The base won't radiate heat in the same due to being plastic and due to it already being used to pass air through.

Are you specifically referring to post 10/7? Prior, this was not true. Israel assessed a VAT customs fee which was then transferred to the PA. The US has an FTA with the PA which applies across Gaza and the West Bank.

And yet the US trades openly with Palestine. Seems like maybe the issue with Cuba isn't entirely the US embargo?

I'm not missing anything. I was very clearly implying one specific point that Cuba has never been a "mostly developed country" and has been impoverished ever since Castro and the communists took over.

So you just made up a rationale for the embargo that's completely divorced from reality and then dunked on it? This would play great on Twitter or Reddit, you should post there as well. The embargo doesn't exist because the US is

Cuba wouldn't ally with the US in its current form. It's openly hostile to the US. It's like suggesting Venezuela allying with the US.

Undoubtedly the US embargo and its extension of potential sanctions to foreign entities which violate are in part causes of a weak economy. However, this is an incomplete picture. Cuba has essentially no market economy whatsoever. All evide

A single truck requires more energy to operate in a year than 70k homes do!? I find this extremely difficult to believe. As far as I can tell, the EIA [1] suggests the average home uses 10,791 kWh a year. A gallon of gasoline contains ~33.7
