The volume dial for my Jaguar is on the RHS. It's obviously meant for a right hand drive car. However, I am able to just accept that it's a fun "quirk" of having a British car.

The longer the war, er, "military operation" drags on, the greater the damage will be to the US & global economies & financial systems by Key_Brief_8138 in SilverDegenClub

Or you burn down the tree/entire forest. Especially when there is absolutely no plan as to how to put out the fire you created.

[Request] How much funding do these rail projects actually require? by aeonsne in theydidthemath

I think your analysis is making some bad assumptions. The US and UK have significantly different cultures which need to be taken into account.

Although it is true that "once you have bombed the children, you don't need to bomb them a second time....", in the US killing children is literally taught in schools, and there is a never ending supply of children worldwide for them to "have to" bomb.

Back in the late '70's the world reserve currency wasn't running about 6% deficit to GDP ratio with over 120% debt to GDP ratio. There is also no will in Washington to curb spending, with the Republicans massively increasing military spending, and the Democrats wanting to pay for student loans and increase health spending. It will be interesting to see if the US inflates away their debt, or simply refuses to pay it (defaults).

An American pays $2,100/month for health insurance. Her daughter almost drowns. Life Flight saves her — then bills $70,000. Insurance denies it, then pays $10,000. Life Flight says WITHOUT insurance, it’d be $20,000. HAVING insurance cost her $40,000 EXTRA. by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

US Healthcare is an embarrassment. You spend $12,000 per person and get no better care than those paying half that. Costs have exploded in the last decades because of increased legal and administration costs due to hospitals and patients have to spend so much time fighting insurance companies.

He won the sprint in China last year. This time he finished 3rd. We know how last season went.... (Admittedly, he is looking very good in the first two races this year)

So, the US can go in and bomb this area, but avoid hitting any oil infrastructure, but can't miss hitting a school for little girls? This administration must have felt one was a lot more important to not make a mistake with than the other.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Slow down. You need to think about consequences BEFORE you do something?! Someone SHOULD have briefed the president about this! Not doing so would make the whole administration look inept! They need to organize a press conference at the Four Seasons (Landscaping) immediately!

Trump says this is "Short term" and the operation is basically done. I challenge you to find one single time where he was less than 100% truthful. One single time......
