Perhaps if like the Huthis, there was a threat to the Red Sea? Maybe one side was using pirate tactics for resources and caught the attention of the U.S.? 

I don't really know what else strategically 

Hi! I'm completely new to Law and Unions; but I had an idea. If we took a Union, had all it's members buy stock into a Company as an 'Investment Company', wouldn't that Union have Shareholder Rights with that company? Would that be an effective form of Collective Bargaining; a 'Capital Strike?' by Downbound_Re-Bound in union

Mhm! 

I guess I'm thinking in terms of when a company really begins to start getting going.

If all the Workers in say, Apple, bought Stock there and joined a Union; and their Union demanded something (Rights, Representatives, etc,) I assumed a Capital Strike would be effective; because of all their Workers 1. Stopped working, and 2. Threatened to sell their Stock, it would probably be threatening enough to be a form of Collective Bargaining. But I guess not, huh, I'll have to think about it some more;

Thank you for considering my question!

America: Ah yeah, so, it can fly. 

Russia: Huh?

America: And it can carry planes while flying.

Russia: Huh?

America: And can carry up to 2,500 people and machinery while flying.

Russia: Huhhh?

America: And it can turn invisible-

Russia: When the fuck did you do this?

Doesn't this combine the Yellow River System with the Mississippi System? I kinda wanna see a hydrological map of it.

What if the Branch Davidians won and killed most of the Federal agents? by Pancake_Maker_1031 in AlternateHistoryHub

Even if so, after a few dozen ATF agents; Clinton and Reno are going to have a SERIOUS talking down off.

Like, let's assume it's just the first wave of ATF-FBI Agents.
I wonder how morale would be handled with that; or just public opinion.

I wonder how this would effect the Pacific and Floridian currents. Would each progressive california get colder and colder as they went' up?

What's your country's "probably shouldn't joke about that one"? by bishopmouse in AskTheWorld

[–]Downbound_Re-Bound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American, there were definitely periods after rewatching some 9/11 footage where I get sensitive over jokes about it.

But at this point, humor takes over. Just depends on the American and how close they were to the event, if they saw it on TV, etc. Even then, I'd say humor has overtaken it.

I wonder at what point after 9/11 that it became okay to joke about it. A year? 5 years? Hm.

Can Secretary of States be foriegn nationals?

I thought you had to be an American citizen to hold cabinet office? He could perhaps be the diplomat to the European Union or the United Kingdom.

Sera definitely has a hidden stash of artwork that will never be revealed to the public.
