Spending money on good food that is consumed by troops to keep their morale high is better than the 1 1/2 SM-6s this amount of lobster would buy

"aren't you worried about farmworkers." yes. primarily i am worried that they are doing backbeaking labor in the hot sun and we rely on an entire shadow economy which can feel free to abuse them essentially at will.

it's not that farming isn't important (i am eating a hot dog) but that no one does it. like the basic idea he has is that we live in an entirely circular economy where people only eat food because they are responsible for growing it. that's not real. i think that's from an early vic3 patchnote.

luddism is alex jones watching boogaloo accelerationist RETVRN shit, just performative ignorance and evil, except for people who wear Birkenstocks

how many "medicine retreats" do you think you'd have time to go on if not for the combine harvester

the troops lobster and steak story everyone is mad about is actually a story about how the defense budget being stupid and bloated leads to massive spends on furniture and food every september under every president because of use it or lose it

They’re calling at the most open strait in history folks, just unfettered commerce

It's simple. Just announce the war is over every morning before the stock market opens. Then right after it closes double down with threats of an even bigger, longer war.

Just do this every day forever. The war and the market siloed off in two alternating realities that never meet.

Hungary’s Minister of Construction and Transport: seizing Ukrainian financial resources was no accident.

He admits this is pressure on Ukraine regarding the Druzhba pipeline.

He added that the confiscated funds and gold would not be returned until oil supplies are restored.

now you have me imagining a STANAG surf n' turf dinner

Dems in California, Oregon, and Washington have literally nobody but themselves to blame for this.

I hope freezing your neighborhoods in amber was worth the loss of representation and the impending feeling of dread.

every single military with a functioning logistics system understands that troop morale is important and one of the simplest ways to keep it high is good food so the troops know when the steak and lobster comes out they're gonna have a really bad time

tbh this is proof it's a real war

secdef: whomst up launching their TLAM

centcom: omg hiiiiiii 🥺

indopaccom: please just kill me i swear to god

>Iran has some Tomahawks.

I bet he's thinking about hormuz 900 lbs of 60% U

I bought 5 divs at 100c each day 2 of the league and they're like 170c now

STONKS

Yeah I give up

I'm gonna go deal with a highly rational market, the Path of Exile: Mirage League economy

The Iran war is almost over bro, just one more bombing, please that’s all we need, just gotta do one more set of strikes, there’s nothing left there bro we’re almost done, just one more bombing run, they’ve got nothing left, just some more TLAM strikes, bro just one more airstrike, bro plz

I give up

The war that is not a war that is just getting started and might last until September is pretty much done and we’re also going to seize a strait we don’t control and maybe kill more leaders if we don’t like them

We're out here trying to use big fucking words like "strategy" or "policy" but all the people with money and power are flipping coins while doing lines of coke and strategy or policy isn't really relevant to those things

Average Ukrainian reaction to panic about WW3 in the west

this isn't a meme stock economy, it's something much dumber

a rational calculation of the net present value of future cash flows of American corporations must incorporate as one of its major inputs an estimate of the likelihood the dotard president breaks the world

this is the market *working*

chat, maybe we're the stupid ones

like have we stopped to consider that a highly irrational market is actually congruent with highly irrational political leadership?

Industrial food production broke a 10,000-year cycle of backbreaking toil that was far outside of our natural tolerances for stress and effort because it was the only way for large numbers of us to eat consistently, and you people still have the temerity to bitch about this.

“The war is over. But we haven’t achieved any of our objectives (ie nuclear or regime change). In fact we have some other objectives now (destroy shahed factories). And we might do more war like ‘take over the strait’. Plus I didn’t ask our allies.

Hey, quick question

Why is it called the "United Farm Workers" and not the "United Farmers"
