Jobs are different; which jobs in your opinion are likely to be lost? I can't think of examples where less-skilled labor workers would lose their jobs as result of tariffs, other than in a case where they were a maid/gardener of s

National stock market is owned by people, but the national debt is owned (and has to be payed) by the government. Basically, the government is just milking the reach now to lower gov's national debt. Poorer people rather win from this

Where did you take this from? Trump is not from working class. Working class might've been his 'platform' for the election, but he's already elected now, he basically has no incentive now to fight for the rights/int

Well, you should then accept that some things will be very expensive for you as well. Is that what you want?

Exactly. Europe thinks it may join Ukraine in a war against Russia to actually win that war. My point is that this is quite a reason why a nuke war may occur. And if U.S. turns back away from Europe - Europe might 'sober up' and n

It's different now, since at that time there were no weapons of total annihilation (and now there are quite some). That's exactly why 'expansionist' regimes were ready to start some next war, being eager "to get som

I'd like to correct you: wars don't happen when just one of the sides thinks they can win, they happen when BOTH sides think so. I think that exactly for this reason Europe needs such a vaccine shot, so they stop they can win a wa

I think this might be a move to stop a world war (between Russia and NATO/Europe). If U.S. also leaves NATO any time soon - the chances for a world war would decrease greatly.

While tomhow is of course welcome, I want to express gratitude to dang for years of quite fair moderation. I've been around multiple communities and he's nothing like those power-tripping libera.chat or reddit moderators.

You clone source from git, but then you use them to build some artifacts. The artifacts build time may differ, yet with reproducible builds - the artifact should match.

They reject the proofs now: they just show the spinner spinning indefinitely now. CloudFlare is broken and it has widespread so much that it looks like a cancer.

Who decides if a nation is democratic or not? Many people (even Americans) claim U.S. is not a democracy. Every country has corruption to some degree. The only backing and staying power there is - is the force a country has and its willingn

What does "legally binding" do good at all? There are no other laws other than the rule of the strength. U.S. was strong for a long time. It did whatever it liked. Now Russia restored some of its strength to the point it can show

There are Russian nationals that live in almost all the countries all around the world. So that's not bonkers, the logic is sound. Now what's important is when some region has mere fractures of a percent vs when its something like

Those countries all were allied (or were going to side with) with nazi Germany, so they are all square. But even regardless of wars - there was always some degree of russophobia without any good reasons. Maybe it's just a fear of a big

That was in 2002, when it looked like after years of cold war U.S. and Russia can finally become good allies. That was before U.S. along with a group of other (mostly NATO) countries invaded Iraq in 2003 without any mandate in U.N. and whic

I'm sorry, but that makes no sense to me. An attack has to have very strong reasons, as any attack is very costly, no oligarch would spend money for no reason. So they would seek some gain then, right? What could an oligarch possibly g
