Don’t you have to present the operators with the lawsuit for the default judgment to be something you can issue?

I see no proof that the operators received the lawsuit.

Negative emotions are knives. The question becomes, “Where do you choose to point them?”

Isn’t this AI, look at the aircraft on the bottom left that has its wing going through the truck chassis.

I pour it on my chest in the tub.

The ability to turn people into spoons, and undo it.

I’ll collect people like Pokemon and stack 'em.

Netanyahu? Spoon. Ben Gvir? Spoon. Reactionaries? Spoon.

Maybe I’ll unspoon them a century later, after we fix the world and undo their mechanisms of power.

If God drank, you’d get the church of the flying spaghetti monster.

I guess this would be because a significant percentage of oil demand is inflexible.

What a nerd.

Mashallah

They did when Hezbollah bombed that US base in Lebanon and sent America running.

Sounds like a name the CIA would come up with for a replacement for a Hungarian politician they don’t like.

It was probably America, given their track record with German energy.

An Anglo blockade of Iran? It’s 1951 all over again.

Oh wow

Since the US is now declaring that it will close the Strait of Hormuz, then we can expect any rumoured pressure from China on Iran to end the war to dissipate.

Sen Mark Warner: I don’t understand how blockading the strait is somehow going to push the Iranians into opening it, I don’t see the connection there.

Correct. But it’s even worse than that.

It accelerates electrification of industry, EVs, maybe even electrification of ships and planes.

The strain on US oil industry to sustain higher production will lead to more accidents and failures.

The US oil reserves were not filled, as they insanely believed that this would be a short war. These are set to run out soon.

The world’s consumers were have less disposable income to spend, and the rich will try to buy up assets to preserve wealth. Asset buy-up is not the same as economic activity. Two dudes swapping a stock between them doesn’t do anything for consumption.

The US failed to reindustrialize with tariffs and strongarming. Case in point, the Hyundai plant where ICE rounded up all of the engineers who were building it and who were meant to train local Americans.

The US is experiencing a brain drain, as the people most capable of reindustrializing America leave the instability and chaos the US is causing to try to retain empire.

There is so much to why the US is failing.

The fossil fuel CEOs saw the writing on the wall, and they would love to have a few great years to replace the slow decline and death that was awaiting them. So capital gets their profit rates back. US citizens pay the bill for the destruction.
