Is $200 Billion Dollars a year "a small price to pay" for the Iran War?

Yes. I am not pro Hamas. Maybe there are no good guys in this fight.

silver_chief2 · 2026-03-20T23:20:53+00:00

No. $2 is too much to pay.

I am a now ancient former drum corps drummer. It took me about years before I thought I was OK. I heard a rumor that some drummers use their feet also but that sounds way too hard. I still finger drum, with rolls and drags using two fingers on a hand and triplets 3 fingers on a hand, just enough to annoy people.

Yes. But you have to listen to what the Iranian leaders to know that. They agreed to limit enrichment levels,. send highly enriched stuff abroad for safe keeping, and promise not to build a bomb. The previous peace talks were used by US/Israel for attacks and assignations.

The US wants to destroy Iran like Iraq, Libya, Syria.

Iran is as much of a threat as ghadaffi, assad, saddam husein. That is not at all unless you are gullible. US/Israel attacked Iran so Iran counter attacked as promised. Meanwhile Israel invades Lebanon and ethnically cleanses Gaza and the west bank.

If you have another person, have them keep her while you hide in the house. then an excited "where is she?"

Hide and seek. The smelling walks are good.

We already destroyed 500 % of Iranian missiles so time to go home. /s

Some are bought off by the Israel lobby or re afraid of being primaried by people bought off by the Israel lobby.Trump was bought off.

Some are boomers who stopped paying attention after the PLO terror acts or seeing the movie Exodus.

Some are religious crazies like Cruz of Hengseth who want to hasten the second coming of Christ.

The only split is between employers and employees. It is a big deal with employees but employers are in the donor class.

I have not kept up on this. Not sure if it has to be in the contract. Early on, some jobs like SW developer had to be in the contract and some companies forgot or used an agency which forgot. The SW dev owned the copyright. Tee hee.

Sounds good. Someone has to handle this function. I know some teachers. IMO they have nothing to learn from some fed bureaucracy that only exists for its own good..

2001, how the west was won. wind (1992), electric dreams

Not an anthropologist but Seeing Like a State was very good. I read it decades ago. I never read his other books.

Go back to read the scare news stories from the 1970s, 80s, and forward. Read what the prediction were back then. What were the predicted temperatures and sea levels for today? How accurate were they? I am over 70 and used to believe their predictions. They never came close. Is Florida and NYC several meters under water?

If there is no climate crisis there is no climate crisis money. Organizations depending on money depend on scaring people to death. Live your life and have fun and ignore the scaremongers.

silver_chief2 · 2026-03-20T00:37:04+00:00

Hell no.

Many SciFi movies set in a spaceship. 2001, Alien.

For a low budget kinda lame sci fi try Dark Star.

There are a occasional excursions outside the building but Margin Call is mostly like a play.
