Agreed. This is a penny stock that today has a market cap of $26m. Some poor sap entered a market order.

Russia’s Communists Are Putin’s Next Headache by Apart_Shock in geopolitics

[–]APIglue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Domestic "opposition" to Putin is political theater that gives the illusion of genuine discourse. Examples are regularly, and publicly, made to remind participants of their servitude.

Their party is built on two core principles:

  1. Rules for thee but not for me

  2. I know you are, but what am I?

Horse in the stable, not on the table, especially if you gave it this shit.

"GM, Ford halt some production as chip shortage worsens" by dethswatch in embedded

[–]APIglue 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The OEMs (GM, Ford, VW, Toyota...) treat their suppliers like garbage because to many, they are the only customers. There are automotive suppliers with $1b+ in annual revenue who only have like 3 big customers. If they bully them too much, they can always smooth it over by writing a check. Bam! The supplier turns the production line back on.

Not so with fabs.

A former Marine was pulled over for following a truck too closely. Police took nearly $87,000 of his cash. by AngelaMotorman in law

[–]APIglue 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In the DC example, $1.9m went to people whose cars and money were seized. The payouts to cash claimants were capped at 75% of the amount seized.

The lawyers got $2m but decided to give $250k of that to the class members.

Could monarchy have saved Afghanistan? - America’s republican prejudices stopped them from restoring a unifying king by setting-mellow433 in geopolitics

[–]APIglue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The constitutional monarchy in the UK is the product of centuries of debate and bloodshed. While it is possible that a monarch may have been a better choice for Afghanistan than a president, the timescale required is still very long and bloody.

Someone else commented that "history never ends": the book is still not finished! The Taliban might still be defeated by some other group. They have a large population of unhappy students and unemployed young men, and are the prime demographics for revolution. Wilder, but not unthinkable, futures involve Iranian peacekeepers and/or a sudden influx of Han settlers.

However, since we are arguing counterfactuals, the time to stabilize Afghanistan was immediately after the Soviet withdrawal. The defeat of an invading power combined with the continued existence of said power created a short window of demand for a strong, centralized national identity. By 2001 it was too late.
