  1. The schools that aren't underfunded have millions of dollars in funds earmarked for sports usually.

That's where I am. Fuck the other billionaire assholes, but the kid knew shit was fucky and got pressured into getting into that sub.

Hitler, also. Remember that one of the only books anyone can recall Trump reading regularly is a collected volume of Hitler's speeches.

So to expand on these, because a lot of people seem to think "it's because they cared", that's only partially it.

Back before faster travel methods, if you wanted a small bird for any reason and it had to travel any significant distance, you would assume at least a 75% fatality rate from stress, with that increasing to roughly 90% over greater distances.

So canaries and finches were expensive, and unless your mine was close to a port city, you'd be traveling 3-4 days at least. Need 4 canaries? Better buy 40.

Didn't we literally have an episode of DS9 about this? O'Brien tries to kill himself because of it.

Oh nah, I'm convinced some of them will definitely get got by their own private security forces. Whatever they pay them, it's not enough to stop someone saying "hey if we drop this guy and take his hands for fingerprints, I'm betting we could withdraw an ass load of cash and disappear before anyone knew."

They don't. They've said they really don't. What it DOES do is increase the instability of the market, and a lot of the people behind Trump stand to profit if they can pick up the pieces after a financial collapse, just like what happened in 08, just like what happened in 2020.

If you run a mod like Munitions, you can also mod the Assault Rifle to fire it, and a pretty wide variety of other weapons.

As an autistic person myself, there's FAR too many normal people who think this way.

The argument I heard initially was that irregular migrants are not, somehow, subject to the jurisdiction of the US.

No no, don't try to boil it down to "they want us fighting each other". Those wealthy people, and a good chunk of those poorer people, actually truly believe in the things they are saying. A lot of them TRULY, DEEPLY BELIEVE that they have to shout this and spread the word because the stakes are nothing less than literal life and death.

He's mad that Putin and el-Sisi both got cool military parades. I remember him wanting to do this in his first term.
