Iran has been on the agenda ever since Bush made it part of the Axis of Evil, but I doubt a Harris administration would be doing what Trump is doing right now. Probably not going to war with Iran outright, and at the very least not doing so

We know why we do it. We do it because we live under a system that requires most of us to bleed for our supper. And now tech is being normalized to work like every other job, and techies get to feel the knife. A lot of people are going to b
