honestly hard to justify engaging with them at all, much as one would not engage with the comments section of your average blog

Oh definitely man, and for the same reason, free workout videos on YouTube have wiped out the personal trainer industry.

[checking earpiece] sorry, I'm hearing that the personal trainer market has grown over 5% each year for the last decade ...

like even a lot of the "obamacare is broken" conversation flows from the fact there is extreme resistance in congress to funding it properly

I'm not sure what's funnier, the redaction vs the obvious textual clues, or that our anonymous expert--let's call him Cames Jameron--is an honest-to-goodness expert on the subject despite being best known for his other work

china and russia are behind both qualitatively and quantitatively. but nuclear-powered subs are complex and the next-generation of u.s. boats is taking way longer to develop and build than hoped

the u.s. hopes training more skilled workers, among other things, will change that.

just kidding, no I won't--this is an important story for the u.s. defense industry and america's ability to project power.

submarines are an area the u.s. still has a fairly major edge. and in a china-focused war, they could make the indo-pacific miserable for the people's liberation army navy

Scenes from immigration court in New York’s Federal Plaza. Till Eckert spent two weeks reporting from the twelfth-floor hallways, where ICE agents have had charged encounters with immigrants and reporters.

β€œThese are scenes I was not expecting to see in the US. You have detentions in Germany, but …they’re certainly not carried out by people who are wearing masks. There’s no comparison to that in Germany”
