@judgedread Apologies for the wall of text but this looks like the credited response (just add ketamine to the sperg mix and hilarity ensues)

Now would be a good time for Trump to purge Peter Thiel.

Elon's SpaceX Falcon 9 & Crew Dragon:

Irrational optimism that can put 150 metric tons into hypersonic orbital velocity every single day, will always beat rational pessimism from temporarily embarrassed academics.

Looks like a hold.

Static fire eminent.

@petra If I had known about hair straightening and wigs I would have had my doubts. Never mind bone density and brain size.

That's why those facts are kept on the down low.

@LatigoMorgan Structurally the Tea Party was doomed the moment it renounced breaking the law, as that's how the original Tea Party succeeded.

@judgedread I've mentioned it before - I was part of the Tea Party when it was leaderless and cellular. Then, one day we had people we'd never heard of or even seen calling themselves "Tea Party Leadership". We didn't know who they were or where they came from, because they'd never been to any of our meetings or any meetings anyone else had been to. It didn't take long to figure out who was pulling their strings and making sure only their voices were heard while the rank and file people who started it were pushed to the side and even out of the pool. It was the phonies who ran for office and got elected as "Tea Party" candidates - Paul Ryan being one of the most notorious.

@ACL9000 They've gone so far beyond even the theoretical bounds of what's possible to pay down that it does not pass the laugh out loud test.

Default is not only inevitable, it is probable in the short run.

@judgedread The idea that a country has to play by anyone's rules and they can't just undebt themselves by decree is impossible for me to compute. Especially since in the end what you end up doing is the lawless thing, anyway.

That's what every country does and lenders just have to eat it up (they hem and haw for a while saying they'll never lend again but they always do), but American boomers for some reason (lol, of course we know the reason) have this notion that debt is like radioactive waste instead of being meaningless numbers someone made up and it's reflected on all American media (truly a wonder).

@petra The national debt is the easy fix - simply default. That saves you a trillion+ annually in interest. Treasuries are only a component of most people's portfolio, so their haircut will be mild.

Oh, take a hint, don't put too much money into government debt. Not US fedgov, not US states, not Eurozone. Everybody is going broke.

@judgedread Most zoomers have the reaction of, Get fucked boomers, when social security is ever brought up. It's not to improve.

If debt continues to rise uncontrollably the next generation won't pay the price, they'll do what every previous generation saddled with impossible debt did: Default.

@admin That's why the key question is whether it's one and done or an ongoing problem? If the latter then it could destabilize the regime.

Especially when someone figures out that facial recognition and highly specific targeting is the secret sauce.

If the Ukraine drone strike on Russia is one and done it's nothing. Certainly not a game changer.

Precision drone attacks on key personnel... that's a game changer.
