I understand this doesn't adress the core of your statement (that the US is no longer "number one" and leaders need to ack that) but - Isn't the prevailing view that nuclear arsenals have made number-of-soldiers largely

Of all the ideas in this thread this one seems the most dettached from my preferences and tastes. It's cool knowing completely different folks are out there. Goos luck!

Do you perchance like to teach? Maybe lectures like traditional classes, but there's a huge need for mentors to young folks with interest in technical fields, particularly in underdeveloped countries (in many such cases merely talkin

Nice to see so many self-made normallaires. My family has been non-famous for generations. One of my great-grandfathers or another was "Man In Hat" in a local theater, but managed to marry into stronger mediocrity.

This, I think, is the core issue. The typical theft before the changes could have been of trivially low values. As soon as people know that the strongest negative incentives only kick in after a total value (e.g. 1000 USD) they may start to

Not the person you're replying to, and not retired, but I can offer some perspective as someone that does indeed like the job. If I retired I'd be able to learn anything I want - but If I wanted to tackle the challenges I have fun

Well, ok, not real news - perhaps changing the title to "Facebook.com is wrongly listed as available for purchase by registrar" would be fitting - but the fact that it is listed is in itself curious and may give raise to fruit

> One single person can't cause the entire system to break down or steal all them money. Funny - I have never seen someone in the traditional financing system do that and not get caught. Closest things were ponzi schemes like Madoff

Snark aside, really - citation needed. I've seen plenty of scary long covid reports and have a close personal connection to at least one strong case, and it is heartbreaking. But they are are all from getting Covid , not the vaccine.
