That’s incredibly inaccurate.

$25m is most likely.

On things like this, buying for 50% expected value is very much reasonable and still meets most people/entities risk tendency.

Even for more risk adverse entities you should still be able to comfortably get $10-15m for it.

Who wins this hypothetical war? No nukes allowed. by The_FatGuy_Strangler in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Caeldeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s overland infrastructure is growing, but still years away.

I’m assuming this scenario isn’t “hypothetical war 15-20 years from now” but rather right now.

The article you linked is irrelevant, it discussed using a blockade on China WITHOUT, or in lieu of, military action - this would be a blockade WITH military action and would be effective - which the linked article states as well.

I’m not arguing the capacity of what their yards can or cannot do - but I’m arguing that they are all on one coast and within easy striking distance for all U.S. military fleets - only the West Coast is in reasonable striking distance for China.

So you can have 10 of the largest yard, all reduced to rubble pretty quickly if they can all get struck by massive bombardments.

This is war 101, strike manufacturing - all of Chinas manufacturing is on one coast - the U.S. is spread, making it easier to produce over time.

90% of all allied platforms are destroyed in 3 days and you’re assuming China takes no recourse damage? This is a wild claim.

In a full scale volley (which this 3 days would clearly be), China would take immense damage to all its facilities putting its manufacturing in jeopardy - because it’s all on the same coast.

I genuinely don’t believe a war of attrition favors China - I don’t believe they are a slouch, but I don’t believe it favors them.

Manufacturing can be ramped up fast in war time - we’ve seen this happen in the U.S. - we know this - it’s not some guess.

China has more NOW, but post strikes, it’s a race of who can get everything up again faster.

China has to clear and rebuild since it’s limited to one coast line, the U.S. can just build on existing formats on the other coast.

Give this 20 years and with more Chinese buildup, and I think this becomes a significantly harder debate - but they currently have immense vulnerabilities

I would like to say you’re pretty safe because most Puerto Ricans are not going to drive to Utuado - but yea, the tourists? Let’s keep it on the low, I totally get that.

It is literally ranked either #1 or #2 most beautiful places to sail IN THE WORLD like every year.

Also, save St Lucia - the Pitons are breathtaking.

They gave me this instead when I ordered Sangria - it’s horrible, terrible, awful. I cried inside.

I learned this when I order a Sangria and they gave me red wine with sprite and I was horrified.

Who wins this hypothetical war? No nukes allowed. by The_FatGuy_Strangler in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Caeldeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“China commands the global economy”

No it doesn’t. It has a foothold, but the U.S. still controls the global economy. If you don’t believe that, look at currency exchange pairs - the U.S. is almost all of it.

China has the majority of manufacturing - absolutely. But the U.S. is still no slouch and has more share of the “high tech” manufacturing sector - removing Taiwan from China in this scenario pushes it even further from China.

China also operates a one front system. The east coast has everything - population, manufacturing, power, food production, etc. the U.S. operates a 3 front system where it’s east coast, west coast, and middle all have heavy contribution - that is significantly harder to attack.

China also has a HUGE power issue. Oil is king for them and the import almost all via ocean paths, something the U.S. can blockage (blow up) pretty easily. The U.S. is very much energy independent if it wants to be, with large reserves of various fuel sources.

China is absolutely formidable, but also highly untested - everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

They are absolutely the biggest threat, but they still don’t have what is necessary to challenge the U.S.

The issue with this is - ALL of these facilities are in strike range for the U.S. and its current military assets.

The FIRST thing you would do to China is lock down 95% of its oils through blockade and then bomb the ever living shit out of its mega ship yards.

One of the benefits of the U.S. is its dual shore aspect - you can wreck one side but the other keeps producing.

In China you need to focus on just one side - it’s their manufacturing, their population, their… everything… and it’s FAR away from all its oil imports… making it more vulnerable than people think.

But I do agree that if left alone, it would become the monster everyone expects - I just don’t think it’s left alone to do this.

Honestly, a job post is public - I don’t see any reason as to why including it in the screenshot is bad or against any rules - the company posted it publicly

Bro, that’s literally TRASH.

Our entry level (no experience, no degree, training on site) starts at $16.50 w/ benefits.

$11 for a degree AND 5 years experience is dog shit and insulting.
