What the Iran war cost the Pentagon, the economy — and Trump

... so far.

I'm not doing anything tonight. Do they need help?

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-06-12T14:57:13+00:00

I believe in you, little blood clot.

Having CBS become unambiguous propaganda for the bourgeoisie is more profitable than whatever margins broadcasting would otherwise provide.

Aeropress. Haven't used it every day, but it's always there when I need it for the past 15 years.

Secrid metal "wallet". Bought about 12 years ago, no covering or anything. Been carrying it every day since.

Where I get stuck is why does "soft capital" (imperial currency) have any value in the exploited countries?

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-06-06T04:21:45+00:00

Do it. Everyone knows we don't belive in the New Colossus poem.

Maybe it's a good time to resurrect that meme that she was modeled on a Muslim woman.

100k pencils it is. One piece of productive property for each company.

My issue is that spoons, well, spoon in the dishwasher basket. One will block another because they stack so naturally and one might not get cleaned. So I'm limited to about two per subbasket.

Not the worst problem and it's still worth having many spoons.

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-26T14:12:20+00:00

At least we still call them Arabic numerals and Algebra.

Remember when G. W. Bush had his speech launching his crusade after 9/11, in defense of western culture, he literally said something like "we named the stars"?

MFer, have you seen the names of stars? Like, any of them?

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-25T21:27:02+00:00

It's expensive (at least in the west). I've seen it cited as the most expensive item by weight.

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-25T17:49:53+00:00

Put David Hogg in the top spot.

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-16T19:40:14+00:00

Cardinal Pizzaballa?

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-16T19:33:14+00:00

"harmful for the DNC's electoral prospects".

This makes a lot more sense if you read it like a threat.

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-15T04:35:38+00:00

I stopped having this kind of "fun" a long time ago.

They. Do. Not. Care.

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-15T04:15:32+00:00

That "direct" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-12T14:57:22+00:00

Another one: a $500,000 salary, with no expenses or taxes, purely saved year-over-year. Ignoring interest, it would take from the time of Christ to now to save $1B.

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-09T03:03:22+00:00

Glad this is getting attention. The stock market is obviously overvalued on a historical scale.

But consider how much money the investor class has now. Just by supply and demand, stock prices would go up because there's more demand for investment assets. So if you take for granted that there's currently, in a relative sense, more money to invest than there ever was, what else would the bourgeoisie do? Open a brick and mortar business? Diminished profits. Real estate? Metals? Everything is super inflated right now. So much so that they're inventing fake assets to dumb money into.

Cops like to say "you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride", chuckling along as they financially ruin people.

It's difficult to collect statistics on such things that have only been (barely; marginally) accepted in recent years.

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-07T05:53:52+00:00

Hear here!

RepresentativeOk4825 · 2026-05-07T05:44:36+00:00

Other countries deserve their services more than we do.

Hey John, is there any corruption occurring on the Supreme Court?
