This was a fun book. Solid narrator on the audiobook. (Ray Porter)

Let’s be real. Roe would not have fallen without Trump. And the erosion of the 3 branch system would not have gotten this far. With DEMs.

But that’s what they do. While eroding the working class through continued subsidies to the rich. It’s why the middle class is dead. Yea, Reagan started that death but the Dems just took their payments and quietly kept things moving, between every Repub term, bringing us to the present state of the billionaire class, lack of middle class, and a country where 60% of the population lives paycheck to paycheck.

NY State voted for Kamala.

Brings that whole Clint Eastwood “Get off my lawn” vibe to another level.

I’m not a witch, I'm your wife!

Risk 2210. There’s 5 turns. It takes 3-ish hours.

Measles is an interesting dive. It can have a re-write effect on the immune system such that other established immunities get wiped after a measles infection.

We’ll be entirely hands off re Gaza & keep funding you, but you need to deal with some things in Iran for us.

This fits that theory.

I don’t like him, but enlistment rates are up. Granted it happened during Biden’s term too.

Usually enlistment is driven by poverty. Food. Housing. Self defense training. Trade skill training when you’d otherwise be stuck at McDonald’s or Walmart. Vs homelessness or living in a trailer with 3 generations of your family and your crackhead uncle living in his trailer parked on the same property.

It is why, in part, there’s little government pushback on poverty. Military recruitment goes up.

There was also a surge after trump won. You can imagine who those people were.

Why the 180? Spite for Putin?

This never surprises me and that’s just sad.
