This is good news, but its gonna be tough to compete with reusable space rockets.

Boycott amazon. Don’t watch prime, dont biy their goods. Don’t even pirate their shows.

They are helping destroy democracy, and bankrupting brick and mortar stores.

Do you want amazon to be the only store you can shop at? Imagine the enshitification if that happens.

And to make it happen, all they need to do is pay the right people enough, or gove them something they want, and they’ll have everything they ask for approved.

Don’t give them power. They are waging war on your rights and freedoms.

If you think its too great a sacrifice for freedom, then even more reason to boycott, because they already have you by the balls.

Ya, unfortunately Iran, Russia, China, these countries all suck as well. But Israel/US are a much more immediate threat. Unless you’re Ukraine, as russia is obviously the more immediate threat, and you dont want to help Iran for that reason, since they are team russia, but I agree Trump should not be enabled. Let him waste his resources and Iran’s and russia in a fight together, and we will pay the cost of inflation for it. It’s not a bad deal.

Yes, because they are being used to defend against the person supplying your weapons.

Being able to secure your own sovereignty is pretty top of the list of your concerns.

Weapons dont need to be fired in order to be effective, nor a good use of money.

In fact, effective weapons you don’t ever fire, is a way better use of money than one’s you need to use.

Yes, I fully agree, and Canada needs a nuclear deterrent as well.

Technically the straight is vital for all countries. So Trump went and fucked the world with his war mongering. And countries may be wishing to workout a deal that if they help him, they get something if he is successful, but imo, that would be a mistake, since his agreements aren’t worth shit.

So, to me, the only solution is to wait and see and leave trump on his own.

He will definitely use that later on and accuse of not helping etc… but thats fine. If countries do help, it wont score them with brownie points, because trump always wants more, so if he can back out of a deal, and you dont have much leverage to force him not to, he will just TACO right out of it.

I’d sooner help Iran secure the straight, and china, and bring the entire american economy to its knees, before I helped it win its war.

And if I ever DID consider sending ships, I’d ask for 20 billion$ up front, and once the check clears, i will send my ships.

Go and research it first. Then come back and tell me why it’s different instead of running your confidently incorrect mouth.

I dont give a shit that you’re a minority. It is irrelevant and makes no difference. I dont even know why you’d mention it. Why am I supposed to care what your gender is?

I’m giving you a warning. Im not interested in arguments. If you dont change your tone with me on your next message, you will not hear from me again, because i will have just blocked you.

I don’t tolerate trolls, no matter what their gender is.

You definitely dont know anything about the trucker convoy, if you think anything similar has happened in the US during the Trump administration. I dont give a shit what your gender is.

You should educate yourself more about the subject. Because you obviously have no fucking clue what the trucker convoy protest was.

Your little walking parades are not protests. The trucker convoy was a real protest.

I’ve been following American politics very closely. I am very educated on it. You have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.

All the ones that know what’s happening are aware they are losing their freedom.

Im not bothered by maga or ignorant people not doing anything.

Its all the people that know what is happening. That think posting “release the Epstein files” will help. It would if they did it on congress’ front lawn, but not in their echo chambers.

Show me. Why isn’t lemmy full of protests?

They can stop many news outlets, but not all of them. Not all social media platforms.

The protests are small and insignificant.

They should be massive. Like the trucker convoy in Canada was.

There are still free social media platforms, and they aren’t showing protests.

Wed see them on lemme, if it was 24/7 protests, so, you are not correct.

It is corrupt, the government is corrupt, and the people aren’t willing to do anything about it. Not mass protests, not dropping the social media they control, or boycotting the companies that give them power.

So, it won’t change.

The administration is on a war rampage also, which means the only way the people will be free, since they do nothing, is if war comes to America, and the regime is taken out by force.

This of course would be ww3, and the casualties of such a war would be far greater than ww2. Many more civilian casualties.

And of course poverty in america. Their government will gove themselves money for luxuries first, their armies second, and their people can have whatever crumbs are left over.

Technically we are. We won’t be out in our lifetimes, to my knowledge, but we aren’t making more helium. Once its gone, its gone. So, it is running out, but on what time scale?

When will the human race start slowing down? Its eventually just going to get crazy expensive and only used when vital. And we’re filling party balloons with it.

I am shocked that america isn’t 24/7 protests.

Ya, it’s definitely all very suspicious.

I personally dont think this is far fetched. There seems to have been a cover up about his death. The alleged shooter was maga. Kirk was going against Israel, and could have been a significant problem and priority target for israel, but for anyone else, he was just a racist POS, and very low significance, if someone wished to assassinate with goals of slowing maga down.

However, he was probably quite relevant for young people, so I could see it going either way, but I dont find the theory Israel was responsible is too much of a stretch, and it appears powerful people didnt want the public to learn too much about it.
